Protect backup data from ransomware

Store immutable backups
Enable immutability for file server backups stored locally or in the cloud to ensure ransomware resilience.

Apply data encryption
Encrypt data at the source, when transferring over the network (in transit) or when storing them in the repository (at rest) to prevent unauthorized access.

Implement the 3-2-1 backup rule

Reduce storage space consumption
Perform global data deduplication and compression to significantly reduce the size of your backups and save on storage space.
