Ransomware-proof protection at no extra cost

See how OSSEA's built-in backup eliminates the need for separate backup solutions.

Built-In Immutable Backup

Stop paying separately for backup

OSSEA includes enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery as a built-in feature—no additional licenses, no separate appliances, no vendor juggling.

Immutable backups, instant recovery, and ransomware protection are standard on every OSSEA deployment.

Why OSSEA's Backup is different

Immutable by design

OSSEA backups are write-once, read-many. Once written, they cannot be modified or deleted by:

  • Ransomware attacks
  • Malicious insiders
  • Accidental deletion
  • Compromised admin accounts
  • Your last good backup is always safe.

Instant recovery

OSSEA's kernel-integrated storage enables near-instant VM recovery:

  • No restore time (boot directly from backup)
  • No capacity impact (deduplicated storage)
  • No performance penalty during recovery
  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): seconds to minutes, not hours.

Zero additional cost

Unlike traditional platforms where backup is a separate product:

  • No per-VM backup licensing
  • No capacity-based backup fees
  • No separate backup appliances
  • No third-party integration hassles
  • Backup is part of OSSEA, period.

Backup features

Application-Consistent Snapshots

Backup VMs with full application awareness

  • VSS (Windows) and quiesced (Linux) snapshots
  • Database consistency (SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL)
  • No data corruption on restore

Flexible Scheduling

Automated backup policies

  • Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly retention
  • Custom backup windows
  • Per-VM or policy-based schedules

Encryption & Compliance

Enterprise-grade data protection

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • TLS encryption in transit
  • Audit logs for compliance

Deduplication & Compression

Maximize storage efficiency

  • Block-level deduplication
  • Inline compression
  • Thin provisioning

Incremental Forever

Only changed blocks are backed up

  • Minimal backup windows
  • Reduced bandwidth usage
  • Faster backup completion

Granular Recovery

Restore exactly what you need

  • Full VM restore
  • Individual files and folders
  • Application-level objects (emails, DB records)

Why OSSEA's Backup is different

Site-to-Site Replication

Automatic backup replication between OSSEA sites:

  • Continuous or scheduled replication
  • WAN-optimized transfers (dedup, compression)
  • Multi-site support (hub-and-spoke or mesh)

Automated Failover

Orchestrated DR failover with one click:

  • Boot VMs from backup at DR site
  • Network reconfiguration (IP, VLAN)
  • Automated failback when primary recovers

Non-Disruptive DR Testing

Test your DR plan without affecting production:

  • Isolated test networks
  • Full application validation
  • Compliance reporting

Ransomware Protection: OSSEA's multi-layered ransomware defence

Immutable Backups
Attackers cannot delete or encrypt your backups
Air-Gapped Copies
Offline or offsite backups for ultimate protection
Anomaly Detection
AI-powered alerts for unusual backup patterns
Rapid Recovery
Restore entire environments in minutes, not days

Real-world example

Ransomware encrypts your production VMs. With OSSEA, you boot clean VMs from immutable backups in minutes—while the attack is still happening. Zero ransom paid. Zero data lost.

Compliance & Reporting: OSSEA's backup system meets strict compliance requirements

Audit Logs
Complete trail of backup, restore, and access events
Retention Enforcement
Policy-driven data lifecycle management
Compliance Reports
Ready-to-export reports for ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA
Role-Based Access
Segregate backup admin roles from VM admins

How OSSEA Backup compares

Traditional Backup (Veeam, Commvault) OSSEA Built-In Backup
Licensing Cost Per-VM or capacity-based fees (expensive) Included at no extra cost
Deployment Complexity Separate appliances, proxies, repositories Built-in, no additional infrastructure
Immutability Add-on feature (requires object storage) Native and always enabled
Recovery Speed Restore from backup storage (slow) Boot directly from backup (instant)
Storage Efficiency Deduplication and compression Kernel-level dedup + thin provisioning
Integration Third-party tool (separate management) Unified platform (single pane of glass)
