NetWorker VMware�Protection against ransomware / hacker

During the period specified here (usually 2 weeks) none can delete / change backups

  • Ransomware
  • Hacker (Even if has highest level login/password)

Thus, in case of hacker / ransomware atttack, we can always restore!

Scenario 1

Application guy wants to run the database A sitting on VM_A as it was last Tuesday 2:00pm. This is because users claim that Tuesday 2:00pm databases behaved in strange way.

Scenario 2

The Virtual Machine has been deleted. We need to immediately start it as this is critical Virtual Machine.

Scenario 3

We have Disaster Recovery site. All Virtual Machines are replicated to another site.

Primary sites fails. We need to immediately start production in the Disaster Recovery location.

In site B we do not restore anything.

We start Virtual Machines (that were in site A) directly from Data Domain. They work with SSD disks speed!

0 time restoring data!

Those VMs work normally.

They are also normally backed up or restored

Those VMs are from� site A.

They use Data Domain SSD disks as the storage.
