The Backup module in Cy-Napea® Cyber Cloud delivers comprehensive, scalable, and secure data protection across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Designed for service providers and enterprise IT teams, it combines full-system imaging, granular file-level backup, flexible storage options, and centralized management—all within a lightweight, unified platform.

Architecture and Deployment

• Unified Agent-Based Architecture
  Backup functionality is delivered through a single Cy-Napea® endpoint agent that also supports cybersecurity and management features. This reduces deployment complexity and resource overhead.
• Multi-Platform Compatibility
  Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and over 25 other platforms. Enables consistent protection across diverse infrastructures.
• Hybrid Storage Model
  Offers local, cloud, and hybrid storage options. Compatible with Cy-Napea® Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon S3, and private cloud targets. Supports tiered storage strategies and geo-specific retention policies.

Backup Capabilities

• Full Image Backup
  Captures the entire system state, including OS, applications, configurations, and user data. Enables complete restoration to identical or dissimilar hardware.
• File and Folder-Level Backup
  Allows selective protection of specific files, folders, or data types. Ideal for user-generated content and business-critical documents.
• Incremental and Differential Backup
  Reduces storage consumption and network load by backing up only changed data. Improves performance and shortens backup windows.
• Application-Aware Backup
  Ensures consistency for enterprise workloads such as Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle DB, and SAP HANA. Supports VSS-based snapshots and transactional integrity.
• Backup Scheduling and Retention
  Enables custom backup schedules based on time, system events, or usage patterns. Supports retention policies for long-term archiving and regulatory compliance.
• Backup Validation and Boot Testing
  Periodically boots backup images in isolated environments to verify recoverability. Ensures that recovery points are usable and free from corruption.

Security and Integrity

• End-to-End Encryption
  Protects backup data in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption. Supports client-side key management for full control over encryption keys.
• Immutable Storage Support
  Prevents tampering or deletion of backup files using WORM-compliant storage. Protects against ransomware and insider threats.
• Self-Defense Mechanisms
  Shields the Cy-Napea® agent and backup infrastructure from unauthorized modification or termination. Maintains operational integrity under attack.

Recovery Options

• Bare-Metal Recovery
  Restores entire systems to new or dissimilar hardware. Enables rapid recovery in disaster scenarios or hardware migrations.
• Granular File Recovery
  Allows restoration of individual files, folders, emails, or database records without requiring full system recovery.
• Instant Restore
  Mounts backup images as virtual machines directly from storage. Enables near-instant failover and operational continuity.
• Cloud-to-Cloud Recovery
  Supports recovery of SaaS workloads such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Ensures business continuity for cloud-native environments.

Strategic Benefits

• Reduces risk of data loss across endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads
• Enables fast, reliable recovery from hardware failure, cyberattacks, or human error
• Simplifies backup operations with unified management and automation
• Strengthens compliance posture with secure, validated recovery points
• Scales effortlessly across client environments with minimal overhead
