Immutable, verified backups that defeat ransomware and speed recovery

When incidents happen, backups are your last line of defence. Synex Technology delivers Cloud Backup with immutable storage, verified restores, and clear RPO/RTO targets, so you can recover fast from ransomware, deletion, or corruption. Our solutions follow modern 3-2-1 (and 3-2-1-1-0) best practices and support Australian data residency.

Why choose Synex for Cloud Backup

• Immutability built in – Backups can’t be altered or deleted for a set retention, using Object Lock/Compliance modes to block ransomware and admin mistakes.
• Proven ecosystems – We integrate leading backup platforms with immutable object storage (e.g. Wasabi) for robust, affordable retention.
• Australian options – Keep data in AU to reduce latency and meet local expectations for sovereignty and faster restores.
• Designed for recovery – From files to full VMs, we plan, test, and document restores so you can meet business SLAs.
• Cost-smart storage – Tiered retention and immutable storage help control spend while improving resilience.

What we protect (end to end)

• Endpoints & servers – Image-level and file backups with fast bare-metal or VM restores.
• Virtualisation & cloud – VMware/Hyper-V, cloud VMs, databases, and object stores with policy-based retention.
• Business apps & SaaS – Options for Microsoft 365/Google Workspace and critical line-of-business systems following 3-2-1 rules.

Our backup model (simple but strong)

• 3-2-1 (and 3-2-1-1-0) – Three copies, two media, one off-site; add one immutable/air-gapped copy and zero errors via regular restore tests.
• Immutable retention windows – Time-bound write-once retention that even admins can’t bypass.
• Routine recovery testing – Scheduled test restores to prove integrity and recovery times.

How we deliver

1. Assess & design – Classify data, set RPO/RTO, choose storage targets and regions (AU first).
2. Harden & enable immutability – Configure Object Lock/Compliance modes and secure access paths.
3. Migrate & seed – Initial backups (online or seeded), then scheduled policies and monitoring.
4. Test & document – Prove restores (files → VMs → apps) and capture playbooks.
5. Operate & optimise – Alerting, capacity tuning, and cost/retention reviews

(We’ll tailor RPO/RTO, retention, and storage mix to your risk and budget.)

FAQs

What makes “immutable” backups different?
They are write-once, time-locked copies that can’t be changed or deleted until retention expires—vital against ransomware or rogue actions.

Do we really need 3-2-1?
Yes, industry guidance still recommends 3-2-1 as a baseline; many teams now add an immutable/air-gapped copy (3-2-1-1-0) for modern threats.

Can this help during ransomware?
Absolutely. Clean, immutable backups reduce impact and speed recovery when other controls fail.

Which platforms do you support?
We deploy and manage solutions with vendors such as Wasabi object storage, among others—chosen for fit and budget.
