Backup

Backup software enables organizations to protect and recover their critical data assets in the event of data loss or corruption.

Backup solutions help organizations safeguard data against ransomware, hardware failure, and human error. Modern platforms offer hybrid-native protection across virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS environments, ensuring business continuity and minimizing downtime. Key capabilities include immutability, encryption, and automated recovery orchestration.

The challenge

Your organization faces an increasing threat landscape, with ransomware attacks and data breaches becoming more frequent and sophisticated. Legacy backup solutions often fail to provide adequate protection in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, leaving you vulnerable to data loss, reputational damage, and financial penalties. Implementing a robust backup and recovery strategy is no longer optional, but a critical necessity for business survival.

How to evaluate backup

1

Multi-cloud mobility

Evaluate the ease of data transfer across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure to avoid vendor lock-in.

2

Zero-trust access

Ensure integration with Identity Providers (IdPs) to enforce least-privilege access and multi-factor authentication.

3

Egress and retrieval fees

Analyze potential fees for moving data out of the cloud during a full restoration.

4

Vendor stability and roadmap

Assess the vendor's market share, analyst standing, and investment in AI and cyber-recovery R&D.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Backup RFP guide
  • Can you provide a documented TCO estimate that includes egress and retrieval fees for a 100TB restoration from the cloud?
  • How does your solution prevent a compromised administrative account from deleting the entire backup repository?
  • Do your backup reports merely confirm that a job finished, or do they verify that the files are restorable and free of corruption?
  • What is your documented process for granular restore of Active Directory objects versus full forest recovery?
