I am not sure what the vendors will tell us, but usually
a VTL only should have two types of connection:

* FibreChannel for connecting the hosts to be backed up
* AdminLAN Ethernet for administrative things (which should be secured)

A ransomware attack on FibreChannel from the hosts might be possible if the hosts
belong to the vulnerable group of systems, but the only vector can be a malicious use
of the backup software). On AdminLAN, not even a normal PC should be able
to connect to the VTL.

And i hope noone has a VTL running on Windows where the VTL data
is accessible via SMB?

I never heard of a VTL being attacked by ransomware, but depending on the architecture,
there might be some vulnerable devices.

Does anyone know of any VTL's attacked by ransomware? I'm currently using EMC Data Domain 2500's and I do not know of any.
