An automated agent-based multi-tenant backup system, that provides users with a method to back up data between servers in one or more data centers on the IBM Cloud. IBM Cloud Backup is an enterprise-level backup storage and disaster recovery solution that is available for local access across globally dispersed data centers. With IBM Cloud Backup, you can add cloud-based backup to any physical, virtual, or hybrid server environment, leverage system image and granular recovery options and restore capabilities for dissimilar hardware, and schedule backups and retention schemes to follow custom timetables or employ the daily, or weekly preconfigured schedules as needed. Backups can target full systems, specific directories, or even individual files, and will incorporate block-level change processing, data deduplication, and intelligent on-the-fly compression, and employ point and click downed-system restoration, from central management and administration via a very intuitive web-based utility from anywhere in the world. With end-to-end encryption that is enforced for IBM Cloud Backup, your data is always secure – from source to vault, and can scale as needed, to satisfy all of your backup workload requirements.
Features
Flexible Customization
Cloud-based backup to any physical or virtual server environment; set backups to follow daily, weekly, or custom schedules; target full systems, specific directories, or even individual files.
Multi Environment Support
For physical or virtual servers, users can perform direct-to-cloud with support for system image and granular recovery options. Plug-ins available for Bare Metal Restore, MS-SQL Server, MS SharePoint, Oracle, and others.
Central Management
Centrally managed via browser-based portal for an all-in-one place backup experience; job scheduling and management, retention policy creation, and responsive point and click restores via Web Central Control (WebCC).
Multi-Vaulting Option
Available option to initiate secondary and redundant backup instance that originates from a single source point.
Responsive Scaling
Ability to scale backup storage instances to meet the demand of growing protection needs.
End-to-End Data Encryption
Protect your data at source, in transit, and to the destination vaults at rest with advanced 256-bit private key encryption – End to end.
Granular Volume Sizes
Help ensure lower costs with GB increments when increasing backup storage; leverages intelligent on-the-fly compression.
Differential Backups
Minimize resource consumption with changed-block tracking, to backup only new data from the last full backup; data deduplication, system image and granular recovery options.
Global Footprint
Protect server data across geographically dispersed sources, with optional cloud replication for geo-redundancy.
Industry Leading Durability
Avoid data loss during maintenance or failures without creating system-level RAID arrays.
