Google Updates Cloud Backup, Disaster Recovery Service
DARKReading, Wednesday, September 11th, 2024
The combination of immutability, indelibility, centralized governance, and user empowerment provides a comprehensive backup strategy, Google said.
Google has announced three enhancements to its Google Cloud Backup and Disaster recovery service to enhance customers' ability to manage backups simply and securely, while boosting agility and reducing the workload on IT teams.
Backup and disaster recovery technologies are key components of ransomware defense. The first enhancement allows users to create backup vault storage systems that cannot be modified or accidentally deleted. Backup vault data is stored in Google-managed projects and "logically air-gapped" from Google Cloud projects, the company stated in a blog post. Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs), VMware Engine VMs, Oracle databases, and SQL Server databases are supported.
