Feature details

Backup isolation

Store backups in Backup Vaults within separate regions or accounts to isolate them from production environments for maximum protection and recovery assurance.

Flexible encryption

Backup Vaults can be provisioned with IBM® Key Protect managed encryption, giving you full control over encryption keys and compliance requirements.

Visibility and monitoring

Monitor the health and status of backup policies and recovery ranges to easily identify issues or errors encountered during backup.

Retention management

Initial retention periods are policy-driven, and retention can be extended in the vault, to easily meet compliance or governance needs.

Continuous backup

Updates to data are constantly synced to backup, enabling fine-grained recovery from any point in time.

Immutable backups

Backups cannot be deleted before the full retention term. Retention can only be extended.

Flexible restore

You choose where to recover—back to the source or to a new isolated bucket.

Developer Friendly

Deploy and manage backup vaults with IBM SDKs, APIs or by using Terraform modules.

Take the next step

Don't let your data become a casualty of relentless cyberthreats. Take advantage of this new capability to ensure that your critical data is safe, recoverable and ready.
