When do you need this service?
- Backups that live on the same network as the servers they are meant to protect
- An organisation with no offsite copy of its critical data
- A business that has already been hit once and does not intend to be caught the same way twice
- A need for retained versions, so an old copy can be restored and not just the most recent one
Technical process
- A review of what data is genuinely critical and how often it changes
- A technical proposal covering volume, frequency and retention, with its quotation
- Setting up the encrypted transfer between your systems and the offsite storage
- Configuration of the retention policy, so several previous versions remain available
- Restoration testing, because a backup that has never been restored is an assumption and not a backup
- Ongoing monitoring of the copies and notification when one does not complete
Frequently asked questions
Why is this safer than an external drive?
An external drive connected to the network is reachable by whatever reaches the network. Offsite storage that your systems can only write to, and that keeps previous versions, stays usable even when the production environment is compromised.
Does it slow down our systems?
The transfer runs on a schedule you define, usually outside working hours, and sends only what has changed since the previous copy.
Can we restore a version from before the attack?
That is exactly the point of retention. Because several previous versions are kept, you can go back to a copy made before the encryption started.
Is this a recovery service or a preventive one?
Preventive. It is the service that means you will not need the recovery one. It is set up before the incident, not during it.
Would your backups survive a ransomware attack?
