Backups that cannot be deleted or changed until the retention period you set has ended. Even if ransomware reaches your server, it cannot touch them. There is no infrastructure to build; you only need to set the retention period.
Immutable image backup
How does immutable backup work?
Your backups are stored on specially configured secure storage servers. This infrastructure prevents your backups from being tampered with during the retention period you set: neither a system administrator nor a malicious attacker can delete or overwrite them in that time. Your backups are thus protected against ransomware, human error and unauthorized access.
When the period expires, old backups are cleaned up automatically, so your storage space is used efficiently and the need for manual intervention disappears. You do not need to set up or manage your own infrastructure; you only set the retention period you need.
Immutable backup features
You do not need to set up or manage your own infrastructure or deal with complex configurations. If you wish, you can start right away using our ready infrastructure, or you can deploy this solution on your own server. In both options, backups are stored in immutable form.
Ransomware protection
Attackers cannot encrypt or delete your backups. Even if you are hit by ransomware, the backups within the retention period remain intact.
Protection against human error
Accidental deletion or overwriting is prevented. A faulty operation or misconfiguration does not affect the backups within the retention period.
Compliance
Retention periods and backup history can be tracked, which helps you demonstrate the data integrity that regulations and audits ask for.
You set the period
You can set the retention period according to your needs. During that time backups cannot be deleted or changed; when it ends, old backups are cleaned up automatically.
No infrastructure cost
You do not need to set up, manage or maintain your own cloud storage infrastructure. You pay for the storage space you need.
Automatic reporting and notifications
You can receive the status of your backup jobs as a report by e-mail at the intervals you configure in advance. Successful backups, warnings and errors are listed in these reports.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between immutable backup and regular backup?
With regular backup, your backups can be deleted or overwritten whenever desired. With immutable backup, no user, administrator or outside intervention can modify or delete your backups during the period you set; this protects against ransomware and human error.
How can I set the retention period?
You can set the retention period according to your needs. Your backups cannot be deleted or changed during that time.
Can I use this solution on my own infrastructure, or does it only work on yours?
Both options are possible. If you wish, you can start right away using our ready infrastructure, or we can deploy this solution on your own server. In both cases, backups are stored in immutable form.
How do I access my backups in the event of a ransomware attack?
Backups within the retention period are not affected by the attack. You can access them from your backup console and carry out a file-level restore or a full machine recovery.
What happens if I want to delete backups before the retention period expires?
The basic principle of immutable backup is to allow no intervention during the set period. For this reason, deleting backups before the retention period expires is technically not possible. When the period expires, the backups are cleaned up automatically, or you can extend the period if you wish.
Do I need to buy additional hardware or software for this solution?
No, you do not need to buy any additional hardware or software. This solution works on top of your existing backup infrastructure and is configured only as storage space. You do not need to set up or manage your own infrastructure.
