Advanced Capabilities
Comprehensive features designed for modern data protection challenges
Immutable Snapshots with Deletion Lock
- Ensures backup data cannot be altered, deleted, or encrypted by ransomware.
- Flexible lock policies (fixed/flexible, MFA for unlock) support compliance retention and insider threat protection.
GuardMode Integration for Ransomware Detection
- Pre- and post-backup anomaly scanning, plus auto-run scans on new snapshots.
- Proactive detection of encrypted or suspicious files before restore, ensuring clean recoveries.
Snapshot Explorer for Granular, Instant Recovery
- Browse snapshots directly and recover individual files without full VM or volume restore.
- Critical for fast recovery during outages or when the backup catalog is lost.
Cloud and Object Storage Support (S3, DataCore Swarm, etc.)
- Archive backups to cloud or on-prem object storage with retention management.
- Low-cost, scalable alternative to tape, with support for immutable object lock.
Advanced Encryption & Access Controls
-
Volume encryption at rest (AES-based) plus improved keystore for secrets management.
-
Standard user access and advanced permissions for role-based control and security compliance.
Flexible Replication & DR Readiness
- Node-to-node asynchronous replication with bandwidth control.
- Ideal for centralizing branch office backups, supporting DR sites, and rapid recovery in case of outages.
