Vault 4TB](#plan-vault-4tb) [If you hold 03 ### Full archive and larger gold-copy sets Multi-year retention, larger recovery sets and a dedicated account manager. Vault 8TB ](#plan-vault-8tb) 02 Why it matters ## The cost of doing nothing is a stopped business Ransomware no longer just encrypts live systems. It looks for the backups first, because a business with a clean copy does not pay. ### Backups are the first target, not the last Attackers who reach a domain admin account reach the backup platform in the same move. Connected backups inherit the compromise of the network they sit on. A reachable copy is not a recovery copy. ### Downtime costs more than the ransom Halted operations, idle staff, missed contractual obligations and manual workarounds run for weeks after an incident, long after systems are technically restored. Recovery time is the real cost line. ### Customers leave after a breach Notifying customers that their records were taken damages contracts, tenders and renewals. Losing the relationship outlasts losing the data. Trust is the slowest thing to restore. ### What changes for the business One copy of what matters, kept where an intruder on your network cannot follow. Backups on the same network as production Gold copy physically disconnected in a bunker Recovery depends on the attacker's reach Recovery depends on a drive they never touched Technical measures described in a policy A physical measure you can demonstrate Retention held in live systems Retained records held offline, out of the blast radius 03 The range ## Offline Secure Storage® configured for business use Beyond 8TB the estate moves to Storage, which scales from 20TB to 300TB and beyond with API and SFTP retrieval.
