Already using Veeam?
Keep the backup setup you know. Your existing Veeam Backup & Replication or backup-copy jobs can send backups to your exoVault cloud repository.
EXOVAULT RANSOMWARE-RESILIENT CLOUD BACKUP
Imagine the call.
The servers are gone. The backups too. Can we get it back?
Someone on your team has to answer that question, while carrying the weight of everything that's happened.
We think the answer deserves more thought long before the phone rings.
Your cloud backup repository, with flexible ways to send your backups and our separate protected recovery layer included.
THE QUESTION UNDERNEATH THE QUESTION
But what if
they go after
the backups?
We started with a bigger question about protecting the backup itself.
We asked what happens when the attacker already knows where to look.
Backups are meant to be the reassuring part of an awful day. You lose a server, a system or a whole environment and you go to the copies you prepared for exactly this moment.
Ransomware attackers also target backup servers, administrative credentials, restore points and repositories. They know what those systems mean when you're trying to recover.
That led us to the question that shaped exoVault.
If an attacker can control everything your organisation can reach, why should the last copy you depend on live within that same reach?
That question shaped exoVault. We provide the cloud backup repository your business uses every day, then safeguard snapshots and replicas of that repository within an environment under our separate control.
CHALLENGE THE ASSUMPTION
The most valuable backup is one you can still recover from.
Resilient recovery depends on how copies are protected, who administers them and how reliably your business can get its data back.
YOUR STARTING POINT
Bring the backup setup you have. Or start with the tools you need.
Perhaps you already use Veeam. Perhaps you need Veeam software and licensing. Or you'd prefer backup agents and a portal where you can keep an eye on everything.
Your exoVault cloud repository gives your backups a secure home, whichever of these options suits your environment.
Want us to supply Veeam?
We can supply the appropriate Veeam software and licensing for your environment, giving you access to your exoVault cloud repository.
Prefer backup agents and a portal?
We can provide compatible Veeam backup agents for your computers and servers, with a web portal where you can monitor protection and manage backup jobs.
However you start, your backups arrive in your exoVault repository. Then we take care of protecting the backup itself.
See what happens to your backupsTHE DECISION THAT CHANGED THE DESIGN
Your cloud backup repository. And another layer protecting the repository itself.
We give you a Veeam Cloud Connect backup repository with your own storage quota. Then we snapshot and replicate that repository into our separately controlled storage, outside your account and quota. Both layers are included as standard.
You back up your business. We protect the backup itself.
EXOVAULT / SEPARATE CONTROL. ANOTHER WAY BACK.
YOUR FAMILIAR BACKUP WORKFLOW
Familiar backup.
We provide your Veeam Cloud Connect repository. Backups from your Veeam software or compatible backup agents are stored within your allocated cloud storage quota.
Your cloud backup repository and quota
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR BACKUPS
Another protected copy.
We take storage-level snapshots of that backup repository and replicate those protected copies into our separately controlled storage, outside your account and quota.
Our extra protection beyond your quota
Your Veeam repository holds your everyday backups. Our separately administered snapshots and replicas protect that backup data, included as standard with your exoVault account.
First, your own cloud backup repository. Backups from Veeam software or compatible agents flow into your allocated cloud storage quota.
Then, we protect that repository itself. We snapshot and replicate your backup repository into our separately controlled storage, outside your account and quota, with independent administration and credentials.
And if your backups are attacked, we have a way back. When accessible backup data is deleted, encrypted or maliciously damaged, we use our protected copies to recover the encrypted backup data into your cloud repository.
WHEN YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS ITS WAY BACK
A protected recovery path changes what happens next.
Imagine finding your servers encrypted and the backups available through your systems gone with them.
If you're responsible for getting everything running again, that can feel like the moment the floor gives way.
Our separate snapshot and replica protection gives us a source from which to recover your backup data. That gives your team a clear place to begin rebuilding your systems.
01
THE BACKUPS RETURN
We bring back your backup data.
We recover encrypted backup data from our separately managed storage snapshots and replicas, returning it to your Veeam Cloud Connect repository.
02
THE CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Make somewhere safe to return to.
Your team prepares clean systems and, where needed, rebuilds the hypervisor and infrastructure your workloads depend on.
03
THE BUSINESS RETURNS
Bring the work home.
Your team uses the appropriate Veeam backup tools and your own encryption keys to restore and validate your systems, files and data from the recovered backups.
We've seen this recovery path work during a real ransomware incident. When the backups available through the affected systems were destroyed, our separately protected copies provided the backup data needed to rebuild.
The protected copy gives your team a practical starting point to rebuild the systems, data and services your business depends on.
WHY THE DESIGN MATTERS
Because the person answering that phone call is a person, too.
It's easy to talk about servers, snapshots, storage and recovery points. We speak that language every day.
Behind an incident like this, your IT team is trying to find a way back. If you're running the business, you're thinking about opening tomorrow. Your colleagues are worried about getting paid. The people who depend on you are waiting to hear what happens next.
And at the centre of it all is an IT team working to bring back the systems everyone depends on, often under enormous pressure.
A protected recovery copy gives people something invaluable in those first difficult hours: a plan, a starting point and a real route towards getting the business running again.
That's why we build recovery resilience into the infrastructure. Because people are depending on the answer.
THE THINKING BEHIND EXOVAULT
We build the technology you wish existed. Then we keep asking how to make it better.
We started with the cloud backup experience you already know. Then we asked another question: who protects the backup repository itself? Our answer was to snapshot and replicate it into our own separately controlled storage, included with your service as standard.
Make it possible.
Ask how your recovery path can survive a complete compromise of your environment.Make it dependable.
A familiar cloud repository, compatible Veeam software and backup agents, and clear recovery responsibilities.Make it better.
Snapshot and replicate your cloud backup repository into our separately controlled storage, outside your account and quota, as standard.The more you understand, the better the question becomes. And that question might be the beginning of something genuinely useful.
BEFORE THAT DAY EVER COMES
A few questions worth having now.
Good recovery starts with knowing what matters, where the copies live and who does what when they're needed.
What do you get with exoVault?
Your own Veeam Cloud Connect repository with an allocated backup quota, plus a choice of ways to send your backups there. Bring existing Veeam, use Veeam software and licensing supplied by us, or choose compatible backup agents with a web portal. We protect the repository with our additional storage snapshots and replication as standard.
Can you use exoVault with backup agents and a web portal?
Yes. We can provide compatible Veeam backup agents that use your exoVault cloud repository, alongside a web portal for monitoring protection and managing backup jobs. We can also supply Veeam software and licensing.
Where do the protected copies live, and how does the quota work?
Your backup quota applies to the cloud repository you use through Veeam. We store the additional snapshots and replicated copies of that repository in our separately controlled environment, outside your account and quota. That protection comes with exoVault as standard.
What happens if your backup data is deleted, encrypted or maliciously damaged?
We use our protected storage snapshots and replicas to recover the encrypted backup data back into your Veeam Cloud Connect repository. Your team then uses Veeam and your own encryption keys to restore and validate systems and data onto suitable infrastructure.
Where do you start with recovery planning?
Tell us which systems matter and how you back them up today. We can discuss the repository capacity and exoVault access option that suits your requirements.
THE QUESTION WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER
If that call comes, have a way back.
The strongest recovery plans begin while your business is running smoothly. Together, we can prepare the route back for the systems and data that matter.
With exoVault, you back up into your own cloud repository using the setup that fits you. We safeguard snapshots and replicas of that repository separately, outside your allocated quota, so we can help bring your backups back when recovery matters most.
Let's talk about what your business needs to get back, and how we can help protect the way there.
