Protect your data assets from ransomware and other malicious attacks with immutable backups. Quickly recover from attacks and prevent data loss.

Immutable backups are not some sort of technology voodoo. The idea of data permanence has been around for as long as humans have desired to indefinitely retain information. Think of the cave paintings at Lascaux. It’s just a matter of format.

Today, the most valuable kind of information takes on a much more ethereal nature. Digital data is the lifeblood of business, government, and our everyday virtual lives. In this context, an immutable backup is simply stored digital data that, once saved, is fixed and unchangeable—and cannot be changed, overwritten, or deleted.
