1. Swarm as a backup source
- Full backup of Swarm buckets
- Incremental backup for efficiency
- Full restore when you need everything back, fast
- Retention management to meet governance and compliance needs
Swarm is resilient, but “resilient” is not “invincible.” DPX adds the separate recovery layer security teams expect.
2. Swarm as a secondary backup target (archive)
- Scalable, cost-effective storage for growing backup sets
- Immutability with Object Lock for ransomware resistance
- Encryption in transit and at rest to strengthen compliance posture
- Tape replacement economics and access without tape pain
- Add the S3 storage node
- Import certificate if required
- Enter endpoint and credentials, test, save
- Backup and recovery for Swarm data, plus archive to Swarm for retention and governance
- Stronger ransomware posture with immutable storage and retention controls
- Lower cost at scale with on-premises S3 object storage for archive
- Fast recovery that beats traditional tape workflows

Protect DPX Backups with DataCore Swarm
DPX is the Smart Choice for Enterprise Data Protection
Yes. DPX supports full and incremental backups plus full restore for Swarm S3 buckets, treating Swarm like any other production data source.
Yes. Swarm is supported as an archive target with scalable on-premises object storage, S3 Object Lock immutability, and encryption in transit and at rest — making it a strong tape replacement for backup retention.
No. DPX connects to Swarm through built-in S3 API connectivity. Setup takes a few steps in the DPX web interface: add the storage node, import a certificate if required, and enter your endpoint and credentials.
