From Risk to Resilience: Why Native Continuous Backup Is a Game-Changer for Enterprises

By DANIELLE KINGBERG posted 10 hours ago

  

In today's data-driven world, safeguarding critical information is paramount. Enterprises need real-time protection, seamless recovery, and built-in resilience. IBM is answering that call with the launch of Native Continuous Backup for IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS)—a fully integrated, policy-driven solution that redefines how object data is protected in the cloud.

🚨 Why It Matters

Ransomware attacks are more frequent and sophisticated. Scheduled backups leave gaps that attackers can exploit. Native Continuous Backup addresses this by continuously syncing object changes to a secure, isolated Backup Vault, ensuring that your data is always protected—even between traditional backup intervals.

🧩 Key Capabilities

  • Near-Zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Every object change is captured in near real-time, minimizing potential data loss.
  • Consistent Recovery: Restore from any point within the Recovery Range—not just the last backup—ensuring seamless and accurate recovery.
  • Backup Vault Isolation: Backups are stored in a logically separate vault, which can reside in a different COS instance or even a different IBM Cloud account.
  • Policy-Driven Simplicity: Set backup policies at the bucket level with flexible retention, encryption, and monitoring options.
  • Integrated Monitoring: Real-time visibility into backup health and policy status, directly from the COS interface.

🛡️ Built for Resilience

Native Continuous Backup is designed to help organizations:

  • Strengthen their disaster recovery posture
  • Simplify compliance and governance
  • Defend against ransomware and insider threats
  • Maintain business continuity with minimal operational overhead

🚀 Get Started Now

This feature is available natively on IBM Cloud Object Storage—no third-party tools or complex orchestration required. Whether you're managing petabytes of data or securing mission-critical workloads, Native Continuous Backup provides the confidence that your data is safe, recoverable, and always ready.
