Air-Gap Backups for Ransomware Recovery

ERP Suites CyberRecovery

Q: Does this work with IBM i environments?

Yes. Air-gapped recovery supports IBM i LPARs as well as x86 virtual machines.

Q: What makes air-gapped backups different?

Air-gapped backups are isolated from production systems and normal network access. Unlike traditional backups, they can't be encrypted, deleted, or altered during a ransomware attack because they're not continuously reachable. This isolation gives organizations a trusted recovery copy when other defenses fail.

Q: Is this different from immutable backups?

Yes. Immutability protects data from being changed, while air-gapping isolates backups from access altogether. Together, they provide stronger ransomware recovery protection.

Q: How are backups isolated from production systems?

Backups are stored in a separate environment with no continuous network connectivity. Access is only enabled during controlled windows, reducing exposure to ransomware and unauthorized access.

Q: Do we still need our existing backup tools?

Air-gapped recovery complements existing backup solutions by adding an isolated recovery layer, not replacing day-to-day backups.

Offline backup for your data for fast recovery.

Recovery is at risk

Traditional Backups aren’t Built for Ransomware

Most organizations have backups, but many are still vulnerable during a ransomware event.
When backups share the same network, credentials, or access paths as production systems, attackers can encrypt or delete them before recovery even begins.

For ERP environments, the risk is higher. Restoring an ERP system isn’t just about getting files back, it’s about recovering transactions, financial integrity, and business continuity under pressure.

Without an isolated recovery copy, organizations are often left choosing between extended downtime or paying a ransom.
