Immutable backup<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Backups that no one can modify or erase<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A conventional backup protects your data only as long as the backup itself remains intact. Yet ransomware or a handling error can delete it. Immutable backup locks each version for a period you set: it remains readable and restorable, but can no longer be changed.<\/p>\n\t\t

The principle<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Write once, read as often as needed<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Immutable backup relies on WORM technology (Write Once, Read Many). Data is written only once, then locked. Throughout the retention period, it can be viewed and restored, but neither modified nor deleted.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Single write<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each backup is recorded as a new version. Previous versions are never overwritten.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Unrestricted reading and restore<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You view and restore any locked version, as often as needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Time-limited lock<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You choose the retention period, up to 10 years. While it runs, no version can be modified or erased, even by an administrator: every action is logged and backed up.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Good to know: a deletion is itself a recorded event. It erases neither the history nor the document: the backup remains viewable and restorable during the retention period, but its files cannot be modified.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Why immutability<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Three situations where it makes the difference<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A backup is only useful if it is still there on the day you need it. Locking protects this last resort.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Cyberattack<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Ransomware<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Attackers first try to destroy backups to force you to pay. Even with stolen credentials, for example on a stolen computer, they can neither encrypt nor erase locked versions.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Human factor<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Errors and insider threats<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

An accidental or deliberate deletion from inside the company does not reach protected versions. You restore the files to their original state.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Compliance<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Regulatory archiving<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Some documents must be retained for several years without alteration. WORM mode helps you demonstrate that documents have remained in their original state.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Setup<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

How immutable backup works<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

1<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You choose the volume<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You reserve the immutable storage space suited to the data to be protected, in 100 GB blocks.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

2<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You schedule<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The agent installed on each machine backs up the selected data, at the times and frequency you define.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

3<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each version is locked<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Data is encrypted on your machine, with a key that only you hold, then written and locked. Versions are added without overwriting each other.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

4<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The lock expires at the end of the term<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each version remains protected until the end of the chosen retention period, up to 10 years. To go beyond that, you renew your contract and obtain a new 10-year storage.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

In your backup strategy<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

With or without a WeDoBack subscription<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Immutability does not replace a daily backup: it secures the versions you cannot afford to lose. You can use it in two ways.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

On its own<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

For your most sensitive data<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You do not have a backup subscription with us? Immutable storage can be subscribed to on its own, with one agent per machine concerned.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

As a complement<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Alongside SMART or INTEGRAL<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your day-to-day backups stay on SMART<\/u><\/a> or INTEGRAL<\/u><\/a>, and data to be retained without alteration goes to the immutable space.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\tCompare offers and prices\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
