How to Back Up Proxmox VE with Catalogic DPX 4.16

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Setting up a reliable Proxmox backup should include more than getting one successful job. You need to know which virtual machines are protected, where their recovery points are stored, and whether you can restore a working VM when it matters.

This guide walks through that process with Catalogic DPX 4.16. You will add a Proxmox VE cluster to DPX, install the required host plugin, create an agentless backup job to vStor, and test a full virtual machine restore. The instructions reflect the current DPX 4.16 Proxmox documentation as of August 10, 2026.

Catalogic DPX for Proxmox VE Datasheet

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX 4.16 adds agentless Proxmox VE protection to Catalogic’s enterprise backup platform, giving mixed hypervisor estates a single, proven console for backup, recovery, and ransomware resilience, with no separate tool required per platform.

Why this matters

Proxmox Backup Server only protects Proxmox, and most organizations aren’t making a clean, one-time switch to it. They’re running Proxmox alongside VMware, Hyper-V, or physical servers, often mid-migration, and still need broader coverage than a Proxmox-only tool can provide. Catalogic DPX protects VMware, Proxmox VE, and Hyper-V consistently from one console, so a hypervisor decision doesn’t have to double as a data protection decision.

Looking for a Veeam alternative? What to compare before you decide

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re wondering whether there are alternatives to Veeam and how they compare, this guide walks through one of them, Catalogic DPX, and where it lines up with Veeam and where it differs.

If you’d like to see a practical example, take a look at our case studies in resources.

At a glance: Veeam vs. Catalogic DPX

Agent-based and agentless

DPX has been protecting data for over 25 years, and its architecture reflects how infrastructure has evolved over that time. Rather than committing to one backup method, DPX supports both agent-based and agentless backup, so the method can be chosen per workload rather than dictated by the platform.

Beyond Proxmox Backup Server: When Do You Need More?

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Companies moving to Proxmox VE usually reach backup planning early in the migration. Proxmox is straightforward to run, and its licensing gives teams more freedom in how they build their infrastructure.

For many environments, Proxmox Backup Server is the right answer. It comes from the same company and plugs straight into Proxmox VE. PBS provides incremental backups, deduplication, encryption, replication, file-level restore from VM and container backups, live restore that starts a VM while its data is copied, and tape support. A Proxmox-only environment with retention measured in weeks or months may have no need for a second product.

Catalogic DPX Datasheet

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Protect physical, virtual, and modern hypervisor environments with a cost-effective platform that delivers secure backup, rapid recovery, cyber-resilient restoration, immutable storage, and long-term data retention.

25+ years of trusted enterprise data protection

Catalogic DPX is a unified enterprise data protection platform that safeguards and recovers physical servers, virtual machines, business-critical applications, and NAS storage from a single console. Patented block-level backup, agentless VMware, Hyper-V, and Proxmox protection, and built-in ransomware detection keep recovery fast, complete, and trustworthy — without appliance lock-in or runaway storage costs.

Catalogic Software Expands DPX with Proxmox Protection and Enhanced Cyber Resilience

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

New DPX release expands agentless hypervisor backups to include Proxmox, adds end-to-end audit logging in vStor and support for Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM)-protected VMware workloads, alongside disaster recovery and operational improvements across mixed virtualization environments.

Paramus, NJ — July 27, 2026 — Catalogic Software, a provider of secure data protection solutions for over 25 years, today announced DPX 4.16, the latest release of its enterprise backup and recovery platform. The release adds Proxmox as a supported agentless platform and expands DPX cyber resilience capabilities, helping organizations protect increasingly diverse virtualization environments while meeting compliance and recovery requirements – all from a single solution built for heterogeneous virtual machine support.

DPX 4.16: Proxmox Protection and Enhanced Cyber Resilience

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX GuardMode Product Brief

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

GuardMode is ransomware and data anomaly detection software from Catalogic, included at no charge with every Catalogic DPX license. It monitors file shares and system behavior on live systems and alerts within seconds of encryption activity starting, showing exactly which files were affected and when.

Why early detection matters

Ransomware activity often runs for days before encrypted files surface, and by then the damage has usually reached your backups. GuardMode catches that activity while it’s happening, so recovery starts from yesterday’s clean files rather than a backup set that turns out to be compromised too. It complements endpoint and edge protection by watching how data behaves instead of relying on binary fingerprints, which lets it catch known and unknown ransomware strains before encrypted files ever flow into a backup.

DPX vStor Product Brief

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX vStor is the component of Catalogic DPX that receives and stores backup data, included with every DPX license at no extra cost. You install it on your own hardware, physical or virtual, and it becomes the repository DPX writes backups to. Every backup lands as an immutable snapshot that can’t be altered or encrypted, and can be locked against deletion.

Built on ZFS

vStor runs on ZFS, an enterprise file system designed for data integrity, tuned by Catalogic for backup workloads. That foundation gives vStor native snapshots, clones, replication, and data reduction, with effectively unlimited snapshot counts so retention policies aren’t constrained by snapshot limits. On top of that foundation, vStor adds:

DPX 4.15: Recovery, VMware, and Encryption

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX 4.15 expands recovery, security, and web-based management

DPX 4.15 expands the capabilities available through the DPX web interface, improves VMware backup management, and adds encryption and key-management controls.

The release brings NDMP backup and recovery to the web console, adds VMware protection based on vCenter tags, and supports encrypted virtual machines. It also adds encryption for VMware cloud archive jobs and new vStor controls for key management, snapshot protection, and recovery.

Backing up multi-hypervisor environments: challenges, mistakes, and how to get it right

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Most IT environments today run more than one hypervisor. A company might have VMware vSphere as its primary platform, Hyper-V running on older Windows Server infrastructure, and one or more additional platforms picked up through growth, acquisitions, shifting infrastructure requirements, or Total Cost of Ownership initiatives. Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, OpenStack, and Canonical MicroStack are all common additions to an estate that started somewhere else. The latter is increasingly common, with many organizations actively evaluating or migrating away from VMware as licensing costs and pricing models have changed. That mix of platforms is not unusual. In fact, it is close to the norm for any organization that has evolved organically over the years or gone through mergers and budget cycles.

NDMP Backup in 2026: The Protocol Isn’t the Problem. Your Management Layer Is.

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

There’s a narrative floating around that NDMP is dead. That it’s a legacy protocol clinging to relevance while modern API-based approaches have moved on. Right? And I get the appeal of that story. It’s clean. It’s simple. But if you’re actually running a large NAS estate in production, you know it’s not that straightforward.

NDMP backup still protects the majority of enterprise NAS data. Not because people haven’t heard of the alternatives, but because ripping out a backup protocol that’s wired into your filer infrastructure is a project nobody wants to fund when the current approach works. The real pain, for most teams we talk to, isn’t the protocol itself. It’s everything around it: the legacy GUIs, the CLI-only configuration, the two-console shuffle just to troubleshoot a single failed job.

Catalogic Software Releases DPX 4.15 with Modern NDMP Management, Tag-Based VMware Backup, and Enterprise-Grade Encryption

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX 4.15 modernizes their data protection for NDMP environments, introduces tag-based VMware backup policies, and adds KMIP-based key management and cloud archive encryption for stronger security and compliance posture.

Paramus, NJ — April 9th, 2026 — Catalogic Software, a provider of secure data protection solutions for over 25 years, today announced Catalogic DPX 4.15, the latest version of its all-in-one enterprise backup and recovery solution. As organizations modernize their data protection operations, many still rely on legacy protocols and workflows that have lagged behind in usability and security controls. DPX 4.15 closes that gap — modernizing full NDMP management, bringing VMware backup policy configuration in line with how teams actually manage virtual infrastructure today, and introducing enterprise-grade encryption key management with vStor support for KMIP-compliant keystores.

DPX 4.15: Modern NDMP Backup Management, VMware Tags, and Enterprise Encryption

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DPX 4.15 is shipping with four areas of meaningful change: full NDMP management in the web interface, VMware backup scoping by vCenter tags, KMIP-compliant key management in vStor, and cloud archive encryption. None of these are speculative features. They deliver on capabilities that our customers have been asking for, and each one has a clear operational payoff.

This post walks through what each feature does, why it matters operationally, and where it fits in the broader context of how organizations manage NAS, VMware, and encryption today.

Bare metal recovery (BMR) is the process of restoring a complete computer system onto a machine that has no operating system installed. One BMR restore brings back the operating system, applications, configuration, and data together from a single system-level backup image, so nobody has to install Windows or Linux first and then layer the data back on afterwards.

What is bare metal recovery (BMR)?

The name describes the state of the target. Bare metal is hardware with nothing on it, no operating system, no drivers, no middleware. A wiped server counts. So does a freshly created virtual machine, which is why BMR is just as relevant to virtualized estates as it is to physical ones.

New DPX 4.13 Backup Verification Introduction

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

If your job involves keeping data safe – whether you’re part of an IT operations team, managing infrastructure, or responsible for security- backups are your safety net. They’re what you count on when systems fail, files go missing, or ransomware strikes. The catch is – you have to do backup verification – just because a backup says it completed successfully doesn’t mean it’s actually usable. Many backup systems don’t check if the data they save can be restored. They don’t tell you if the files are corrupt, incomplete, or worse – already infected with malware. So when it’s time to recover, you’re left guessing.

Understanding GuardMode: Enhanced Ransomware Protection for Backups in 2025

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Ransomware attacks now take an average of 7-8 days to detect, and by then, your backup files may already be compromised. GuardMode from Catalogic changes this by monitoring your data before it gets backed up, catching threats early and helping you restore only the affected files instead of rolling back entire systems.

If you’re a backup administrator or IT professional responsible for data protection, this guide will show you how GuardMode works, what features it offers, and how it can fit into your existing backup strategy. You’ll learn about its detection methods, recovery options, and practical benefits in about 10 minutes.

Mastering RTO and RPO: Metrics Every Backup Administrator Needs To Know

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Two numbers govern most of what a backup administrator does. The first is how long the business can be down after a failure, and the second is how much data it can afford to lose. Those are the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO), and they sit at the centre of any disaster recovery plan worth the name. They get confused with each other constantly, because both are expressed in units of time and both get tighter as the system gets more important. They measure different things.

The Power of Granular Recovery Technology: Data Protection and Recovery

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Pulling a single file out of a large backup used to mean restoring far more than the file. Traditional recovery works at the level of whole datasets or whole systems, so retrieving one deleted document could involve staging an entire volume somewhere and digging through it.

Granular recovery technology narrows that down. It restores the specific item you lost, whether that is one email, one document, or one database record, and leaves everything else alone.

WORM vs. Immutability: Essential Insights into Data Protection Differences

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

When it comes to protecting your data, you might have come across terms like WORM (Write Once, Read Many) and immutability. While they both aim to ensure your data remains safe from unauthorized changes, they’re not the same thing. In this blog post, we’ll break down what each term means, how WORM vs. Immutability differs, and how solutions like Catalogic vStor leverage both to keep your data secure.

What Is WORM?

WORM, or Write Once, Read Many, is a technology that does exactly what it sounds like. Once data is written to a WORM-compliant storage medium, it cannot be altered or deleted. This feature is crucial for industries like finance, healthcare, and the legal sector, where regulations require that records remain unchanged for a certain period.

Purpose-Built Backup Appliance: How Multi-Function Solutions Are Changing the Game

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

As technology continues to evolve, the way we approach data backup and protection is undergoing significant changes. Gone are the days when backup solutions were simplistic, standalone applications that required a slew of additional tools to function effectively. Today, we’re seeing a clear trend towards multi-function backup solutions or Purpose-Built Backup Appliance that provide a comprehensive set of features in a single, integrated package. This shift is being driven by the need for simplicity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness—qualities that are particularly important for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that may not have the resources to manage complex IT environments.

Boosting Data Security with Cost-Effective Backup Solutions: A Comprehensive Guide

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Let’s face it: data security is more important than ever, and the pressure to keep everything safe and sound is only growing. But let’s also be real—budget constraints are a reality for most businesses, and not everyone has the luxury of throwing money at the latest and greatest hardware. That’s why finding a backup solution that’s both cost-effective and robust is key.

Why Cost-Effective Backup Immutability Matters?

One of the big buzzwords in data protection these days is immutability. It’s a game-changer because it ensures that it can’t be altered or deleted once your data is backed up. Imagine you’ve got a vault, and once you close the door, nothing and no one can mess with what’s inside. This is huge when it comes to dealing with ransomware. Attackers often target backups, thinking they’ve got you cornered. But with immutable backups, you’ve got the upper hand—you can restore your data without worry.

Streamlining IT Operations with Comprehensive Backup Solutions: The ‘Batteries-Included’ Approach

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

When you’re in charge of keeping your company’s data safe, the last thing you want is a confusing maze of backup software, add-on modules, and convoluted licensing agreements. Unfortunately, that’s the reality many IT teams face. Initially, most backup solutions seem like an affordable and comprehensive backup solution, only to discover that essential features like cloud integration or ransomware protection are hidden behind costly upgrades. This piecemeal approach often leads to inefficiency, unexpected costs, and a lot of operational headaches.

Enhancing Cybersecurity with vStor and GuardMode: Detecting and Preventing Ransomware Attacks from Spreading

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Ransomware is a serious threat that just keeps growing, and it’s something that should be on every IT leader’s radar. I’ve seen how quickly these attacks can bring an organization to its knees, and the fallout is often devastating. The bad guys aren’t just after your live data anymore—they’re going after your backups, too. And let’s face it: if your backups get hit, your recovery options start looking pretty bleak.

How GuardMode Ransomware Detection Secures Your Backup Solution

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

A backup strategy in place is essential for protecting your data against a ransomware attack. However, relying solely on backups is not enough to ensure complete protection from continuously more sophisticated risks.

The thing to remember is that backups can be an effective defense against ransomware only if they are done regularly and stored securely. Regular backups ensure that you have the most recent versions of your data available in case of an attack. Storing backups securely, such as on an offline or off-site location, can prevent the ransomware from accessing and encrypting them. Remember the 3-2-1 rule!

Protect DPX Backups with DataCore Swarm

Sat, 04 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This solution brief covers how Catalogic DPX and DataCore Swarm work together, and it addresses both directions the two products support.

Swarm can act as scalable, S3-compatible storage for the copies DPX produces. A DPX archive job sends archive copies of protected Block and VMware Agentless data to Swarm over its S3 API, using DataCore registered as cloud storage in a device cluster with an associated media pool. Swarm exposes S3 Object Lock at the bucket level, so an archive bucket can carry its own retention controls. That suits teams keeping governed copies on infrastructure they operate themselves, whether to satisfy data-residency rules or to place the second copy in a separate failure domain.

According to Statista reports, total enterprise data volume was estimated to increase significantly, rising from approximately 1 petabyte to 2.02 petabytes, which represents an average annual growth of 42.2% (Expected enterprise data volume by location 2022 | Statista ). It’s important to note that the majority of this data will be stored in internally managed data centers.

This is a lot of enterprise data. With the fast pace of cloud storage adoption, that is in some cases entirely transparent to the end user, we don’t even realize how much data we collect … and how much we have to protect.

Ensuring the Data Integrity of your Backups with GuardMode

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Case for Ensuring Data Integrity

While writing a long term paper, I accidentally overwrote and replaced a long passage with a single character – the unintended consequence of a Select All and an accidental keyboard press. I didn’t realize that a good portion of my paper was gone until I went back to proofread it, and I had to go back through multiple versions only to discover that the error had been saved in those versions as well. While it took me another couple of hours to rewrite the section, it taught a valuable of lesson in that just because you have a saved copy, the data contained within it may not be the data you expect or want.

Microsoft 365 – Why OneDrive Backup is Needed

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

It is clear that the cloud is replacing physical storage formats due to its collaboration and access features, its cost-effectiveness, and data security and resiliency. As organizations continue to store more and more, cloud storage will continue to increase in popularity. One of the most popular forms of cloud storage used by organizations today is Microsoft OneDrive.

OneDrive is a productivity tool that allows users to synchronize files across different endpoints and share those files with other users in the enterprise. It is one of the several applications that make up the Microsoft 365 suite. The other applications include Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint. OneDrive is designed for users to store and share files, along with other collaboration capabilities that make not only daily jobs easier but also the management of shared files across different team members. The great thing about OneDrive being a cloud storage destination is that it enables employees to access their business files, as well as files shared by other people or teams, from different connected devices. In today’s world of remote working, access flexibility is incredibly useful.

Microsoft 365 – Why SharePoint Backup is Needed

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

SharePoint has become the go-to solution for organizations to manage extensive volumes of shared data in the cloud. Its robust platform streamlines document sharing among teams, making it an indispensable tool, especially as remote collaboration becomes the standard. However, the essential business data stored in SharePoint exposes a critical vulnerability: the risk of data loss without a reliable SharePoint backup strategy. Microsoft 365‘s native features are not designed to provide comprehensive protection, leaving organizations at risk. Implementing a dedicated SharePoint backup ensures your critical data remains safe and recoverable, safeguarding business continuity

DPX 4.9 Adds Proactive Ransomware Shield for Linux and Improves Quality of Alerts for Backup Admins

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of Catalogic DPX 4.9, where we continue to build upon our commitment to providing one of the most cyber resilient data protection and backup coverage matrices for private, public, and hybrid-cloud environments. This release adds to our industry leading ransomware recovery and cyber resilience features by building on the DPX GuardMode for Windows capability made available in DPX 4.8.1.

In addition, backup administrators can now benefit from increased quality of alerts, where GuardMode measures the level of file entropy and compares known magic signatures on files suspected to be impacted. GuardMode uses active, live forensic techniques instead of analyzing backup data that lags security incidents by several hours, days, and even weeks.

Backup and Restore for Multi-Hypervisor Environments

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

As container technology and Kubernetes, specifically, continues to be considered the future of virtualization, the fact is that the traditional hypervisor market continues to grow. According to Maximize Market Research, by 2027 the hypervisor market is expected to reach a value of $4.45 Billion, a CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) of 29.78% from 2020. As has been the case for a decade, VMware continues to be the leader in market share, at 56.8% (a number that is down from 65.4% in 2008). Still, an interesting trend is beginning to take shape: increasingly, small and midsize organizations are leaving VMware’s high costs behind and are transitioning to several alternative open VM platforms.

Protect Your Microsoft 365 Data with DPX vPlus

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

We live in a world where data is the new oil. Not only is data valuable for you to maintain and run your business, but if you do not have a plan for data backup and recovery, we can end up paying a high price for it. According to a study by Touche Ross, 90% of businesses without a disaster recovery plan, will fail after a disaster. Meanwhile, more and more critical organizational data is being created, stored, and shared outside of the data center. Oftentimes, this is close to or over 50% of organizational data. This data lives on laptops, tablets, mobile devices and in cloud services, like Microsoft 365. And yet this data can very easily be lost and lost for good without proper Microsoft 365 backup.

Catalogic Software Introduces Newest Version of DPX with Proactive Ransomware Protection

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Woodcliff Lake, NJ — July 12, 2022 — Catalogic Software, a leading provider of smart data protection solutions, today announced the release and general availability of the newest version of Catalogic DPX, the company’s enterprise data protection software. DPX 4.8.1 introduces GuardMode, a feature providing early detection of ransomware, and DPX vPlus, cloud data protection for Microsoft 365 and other open virtualization platforms.

“Cybercriminals are constantly innovating, costing US victims $49.2 million in losses to ransomware attacks last year alone — and that is just based on incidents reported to the FBI,” said Krista Macomber, Senior Analyst, Evaluator Group. “Catalogic DPX’s new GuardMode feature can help organizations to minimize business disruption, including financial losses, when they are hit by ransomware. For example, proactive monitoring against a list of over 4,000 known ransomware patterns that is automatically updated helps to mitigate the spread of ransomware, and the ability to roll back only affected data allows good data that might be interspersed with infected files to be preserved.”

Catalogic Software stellt die neueste Version von DPX mit proaktivem Ransomware-Schutz vor

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Woodcliff Lake, NJ — 12. Juli 2022 — Catalogic Software, ein führender Anbieter smarter Datenschutzlösungen, gab heute die Veröffentlichung und allgemeine Verfügbarkeit der neuesten Version von Catalogic DPX bekannt, der Data-Protection-Software des Unternehmens für Unternehmenskunden. DPX 4.8.1 führt GuardMode ein, eine Funktion zur frühzeitigen Erkennung von Ransomware, sowie DPX vPlus, den Cloud-Datenschutz für Microsoft 365 und weitere offene Virtualisierungsplattformen.

„Cyberkriminelle entwickeln sich ständig weiter – allein im vergangenen Jahr verursachten Ransomware-Angriffe in den USA Schäden von 49,2 Millionen US-Dollar, und das nur bei den dem FBI gemeldeten Vorfällen“, sagte Krista Macomber, Senior Analyst bei Evaluator Group. „Die neue GuardMode-Funktion von Catalogic DPX kann Unternehmen helfen, Betriebsunterbrechungen und finanzielle Verluste im Falle eines Ransomware-Angriffs zu minimieren. So trägt beispielsweise die proaktive Überwachung anhand einer automatisch aktualisierten Liste von über 4.000 bekannten Ransomware-Mustern dazu bei, die Ausbreitung von Ransomware einzudämmen, während die Möglichkeit, ausschließlich betroffene Daten zurückzusetzen, den Erhalt intakter Daten ermöglicht, die mit infizierten Dateien vermischt sein könnten.“

Recommendations From FBI Cyber Division on How to Reduce Risk from Ransomware Attacks

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Ransomware continues to be a growing threat in 2022 given cybercriminals are constantly innovating and wreaking havoc within businesses. Worryingly the fiscal impact of a ransomware attack has more than doubled, increasing from $761,106 in 2020 to $1.85 million in 2021. This is due, in part, to the move by attackers to more advanced and complex targeted attacks that are harder to recover from. And in mid-sized organizations in thirty countries across the globe, 37% of organizations experienced a ransomware attack in the last 12 months.

Catalogic Poland Team Aids by Hosting Ukrainian Families

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Catalogic has had a team in Warsaw, Poland for nearly three years and how it came about was completely unplanned. I visited a Warsaw-based company, Storware, in February 2018, a trip that led to Catalogic investing in them. While there, I found the people of Poland to be so impressive. They have big hearts, are fun and hospitable and possess a great blend of work ethic, hunger and a relentless pursuit towards perfection. This led to us building a team there (first for UI) and having the pleasure of working with over 50 people in Poland since then.

Combatting Ransomware with Secure Backup and Recovery in an Instant

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Ransomware is a growing threat that continues to wreak havoc within businesses as cybercriminals constantly innovate in terms of how they are executing attacks. One of the latest trends being seen is that attackers are proactively targeting and removing backup data. This is because if they encrypt or remove an organization’s backup data, then they have significantly enhanced the likelihood of the ransom being paid.

If backup data is one of the key targets, why do we see so many updates from backup and storage vendors on their ransomware protection? It’s because we all see the impact ransomware is having and we want to put businesses in a position where they can quickly recover from an attack without paying the ransom. Leaving your backup and storage infrastructure in the same security state as it was years ago means that you have a large attack surface with little likelihood that data recovery will be an option if you are hit with ransomware.

Show Your Appreciation to All SysAdmins Today and Everyday

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Great work to all the System Administrators in the world! These hard working, dedicated men and women play a huge role in all our lives. From our desks to our home offices, they are the backbone of the technology that integrates into our daily routines. They jump in when needed and often necessary, will work 24-hour days and thru the weekend to troubleshoot outages, increase capacity, fight ransomware, or answer questions from us. One of their major responsibilities is to make sure they have a data protection insurance policy if data is lost, a final backstop to protect our business data, our system configurations, and our corporate histories.

Survive and Recover from Ransomware Attacks with Data Backups

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Cybercriminals love nothing more than infiltrating a network, accessing your data, and encrypting it so it can no longer be accessed until a ransom is paid. Typically, the longer the data is encrypted and unavailable, the larger the financial impact. These criminals may even sell the data outright.

Attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. A ransomware attack study from Ivanti found that of 1,000 enterprises IT professionals across the globe, 58% had worked for organizations that had suffered a ransomware attack in the last year! Sadly, cybercriminals have become an almost unstoppable force.
