Anti-ransomware backup with RDX
Anti-ransomware solutions with RDX backup
Add a removable and disconnectable backup copy to your continuity strategy to reduce the exposure of critical data in the event of an attack. Ransomware can compromise workstations, servers, network shares and sometimes backups that remain permanently accessible. With Tandberg Data RDX, you can create backup copies on removable media, physically remove them after the backup job and store them according to a defined rotation. This approach complements existing cybersecurity solutions and strengthens recovery capability after an incident.
Reduce the exposure of permanently accessible backups
ADD A REMOVABLE AND DISCONNECTABLE COPY TO YOUR RECOVERY STRATEGY. A backup connected to the network can remain exposed to compromised accounts, configuration errors or attacks targeting recovery points. RDX adds a physical approach: the copy is written to removable media, then the media can be removed after the backup job. This separation helps keep a less exposed copy.
3 KEY BENEFITS FOR RANSOMWARE RECOVERY
Why add RDX to your anti-ransomware strategy?
RDX enables a physical, removable and disconnectable copy alongside your existing backups. This approach helps reduce recovery media exposure, organize clear rotation and keep several usable recovery points after an incident.
Disconnectable copy
Remove the media after backup to limit its exposure to the network.
Clear rotation
Keep several recovery points with media identified by day, week or month.
3-2-1 complement
Add a copy on different media, local or off-site, depending on your continuity strategy.
Organize simple backup media rotation
An anti-ransomware strategy should keep several recovery points. With RDX, you can organize rotation by day, week or month, then store part of the cartridges off-site. The goal is to avoid relying on a single copy and keep a recoverable version even if the primary environment is compromised.
Adapt the RDX approach to centralized IT environments
For rack-based, multi-cartridge or more centralized environments, RDX QuikStation helps structure a removable backup approach with several media. This logic is useful for SMEs, branch offices, public organizations or infrastructures that want a more robust rotation without losing the simplicity of RDX media.
