Overview

What the service does and how it fits into a customer-ready data protection strategy.

What it does

Blocky for Veeam provides ransomware-resistant immutability for Windows backup repositories, allowing organisations to protect Veeam backup data without deploying and managing hardened Linux infrastructure.

Installed directly on existing Windows repository servers, Blocky uses patented WORM Shield technology to prevent backup files from being modified, encrypted or deleted by ransomware, malicious insiders or unauthorised processes. This helps ensure backup data remains recoverable even during a cyber incident, strengthening overall recovery readiness and cyber resilience.

For organisations that prefer to standardise on Windows infrastructure, Blocky offers a simpler path to immutable backup storage while maintaining compatibility with existing Veeam Backup & Replication environments. The result is enterprise-grade backup protection without the operational overhead of introducing additional platforms or specialist Linux expertise.
