Effective Against Ransomware! 'Physical Backup' Regains Attention

Cases where a company's backup data itself becomes a target of attack are increasing. Against this new risk, 'physical backup,' which can be stored disconnected from the network, is gaining attention as an effective measure.

Physical backup using external HDDs can block infection routes, making it less susceptible to damage. It also keeps introduction costs low and allows for simple operation. It is now being re-evaluated as a corporate data protection measure.

5 Reasons to Choose BizDAS

① 'Physical Separation' as the Ultimate Ransomware Countermeasure
By physically isolating (offlining) from the network, it protects important data from the effects of virus infections and unauthorized access.

② 'Excellent Portability' Contributing to BCP Measures
By preparing multiple HDDs, using them on a rotating daily basis, and storing them at different locations, it reduces the risk of data loss during natural disasters.

③ 'High-Speed Restore' for Rapid Business Recovery
Because recovery can be performed directly from a local external HDD, it is not affected by network bandwidth, enabling speedy restoration.

④ 'Low-Cost Design' for Easy Introduction and Operation
Operation is possible with only the initial introduction cost and replacement HDDs. There are no monthly fees or capacity charges like cloud services, minimizing costs.

⑤ 'Hardware RAID' for Stable Performance
Compared to software RAID, hardware RAID offers the reassurance of 'sustained high-speed processing' and 'lower risk of RAID collapse due to OS failure,' and operates without burdening the CPU or server.
