Seamless Backup Tiering
Align your backup strategy with different Google storage classes – Nearline, Coldline or Archive. You can create multiple backup copies, granularly configure retention policies for each recovery point and optimize storage with incremental backups, compression and deduplication.
Automation for Repetitive Tasks
Create custom schedules using the Calendar dashboard and link data protection tasks to run in sequence. You can also configure policies to automatically back up machines that match your predefined rules, saving time and reducing manual effort.
Reliable Security Against Cyber Threats
Prevent unauthorized access and changes to your data protection tasks with two-factor authentication and granular user roles. For added security, set AES-256 backup encryption at the source, during transfer and at rest and use malware scans to verify that your backups are ransomware-free before recovery.
Storage Management Without Failures
Merge multiple storage locations into a federated repository for uninterrupted backup and recovery. If one storage location fails or runs out of space, the process automatically continues using another repository.
