Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ootbi?
Ootbi is a purpose-built, on-premises, immutable backup storage appliance from Object First, designed specifically for Veeam environments to ensure backups are ransomware-proof by default.
What is Veeam Backup & Replication?
Veeam Backup & Replication is a market-leading software solution that provides comprehensive data protection for virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads. It creates fast, reliable backups and replicas of your critical data, ensuring you can recover quickly from disruptions like hardware failure, human error, or cyberattacks.
How much does Veeam cost?
The cost of Veeam with Ootbi depends on several factors, including the products you choose, the number of workloads you need to protect, and your required subscription term.

What is zero trust security?
Zero trust security is an IT security model that operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify." It assumes threats exist both outside and inside a network, so requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources. Ootbi is built on ZTDR principles, ensuring your backup data is always secure and isolated.
What is immutable storage?
Immutable storage is a type of data storage where once data is written, it can’t be altered, modified, or deleted for a set period. This creates a tamper-proof copy of your data. Using immutable backups is a critical defence against ransomware, as it ensures that even if your primary systems are compromised, you have a clean, unchangeable copy of your data ready for recovery.
