Ransomware Recovery

Why Use NAKIVO Backup & Replication for Ransomware Recovery

An Efficient Data Protection Strategy

NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to store backup copies in multiple locations, following the 3-2-1 backup strategy to ensure ransomware recovery after attacks. You can keep backup copies onsite for faster and simpler ransomware recovery. Moreover, NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to send backup copies to a remote site or the cloud (Amazon S3, Azure and Wasabi) to eliminate a single point of failure. Along with native tape support to meet compliance requirements and archival needs. This way, if your primary backup gets encrypted, you can still recover from ransomware and resume operations with minimum downtime and data loss.

Recover from Ransomware Attacks with Immutable Backups

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can add another layer of ransomware protection for your backup data stored in the cloud with S3 Object Lock support. The software solution allows you to make your backup data stored in Amazon S3 buckets immutable for a specified period of time. This way, your backup and backup copies cannot be compromised by ransomware. They cannot be modified, overwritten or deleted until that period expires. With your backups locked, you can rest assured that your backups are ransomware-free and you can recover from ransomware quickly if a malicious attack hits your systems.

Instant Ransomware Recovery of Data

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is equipped with instant recovery capabilities, enabling you to instantly boot VMs , recover physical machines as VMware VMs, and recover files and application objects in just a few minutes in case of a malware attack. The Instant File Recovery allows for fast and easy ransomware recovery of corrupted files and folders to their original location (or any custom location) in a single click directly from deduplicated and compressed backups. You can also use Cross-Platform Recovery to migrate your VMs to different platforms and even perform physical to virtual machine recovery in mixed physical and virtual environments.

Ransomware Recovery Orchestration and Automation

With the Site Recovery functionality, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can protect your critical data and ensure the continuity of operations in the event of a ransomware attack. The flexible VM replication feature together with Site Recovery allow you to automate and orchestrate the entire recovery process, ensuring 24/7 availability of your data and systems. You can create multiple site recovery jobs of any complexity, which can also be tailored for recovery from ransomware. In case of a ransomware attack, you can perform a one-click switch to a secondary location and rapidly resume your business operations without paying the ransom.

Advanced Backup Verification

NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to instantly verify that your backups and backup copies can be recovered when the need arises, ensuring the success of your ransomware recovery process. The instant verification feature automatically verifies the functionality of your VMs by running the VM directly from the newly-created backup in a test mode environment (with the networking turned-off). The software solution can also capture a screenshot of the test-recovered VM OS before discarding it and send you the verification results via email or display them in the interface. Regularly checking backup data integrity is your safety net for if and when a ransomware attack hits.

Flexible Retention for Ransomware Recovery

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides a full range of approaches to recover from ransomware and ensure minimum data loss and reduced business downtime. The solution allows you to save up to 4,000 recovery points for every backup and replication job and rotate them daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. The retention policy follows the grandfather-father-son (GFS) scheme, providing you with multiple recovery options and a large ransomware data recovery window. Having thousands of recovery points covering different points in time allows a fast ransomware data recovery before the ransomware infection (or the encryption event following the infection).
