IBM Safeguarded Copy

After a cyber-attack, you don’t want to discover that your sensitive point-in-time copies are corrupted or missing.  IBM Safeguarded Copy provides immutable points of data recovery that are hidden and protected from being modified or deleted due to user errors, malicious destruction, or ransomware attacks.  These immutable copies are a secure data source that can be used for forensic analysis or surgical or catastrophic recovery.

With Safeguarded Copy, storage administrators can ensure that data is kept safe, secure, and recoverable in a way that is transparent and easy to manage: 

The backup volume is a hidden, non-addressable volume that does not consume any of the regular volume addresses. 

• Copies can be maintained at either production or recovery sites. 
• Storage targets are protected against malicious actions with additional security provided through unique user roles. 
• Safeguarded Copy capacity is allocated in the best-performing storage tier available, minimizing performance impacts from writing backup data. 
• Safeguarded Copy can be integrated with different disaster-recovery and high-availability configurations. 
• Different user roles and authority levels can be used to manage production source volumes, backup capacity, and recovery volumes. 

IBM Safeguarded Copy is available for IBM’s Midrange and Enterprise Flash Systems.
