ExaGrid, the industry’s only Retention Time-Lock (RTL) tiered backup storage solution, which includes a tiered air gap, delayed deletion, and immutable objects for ransomware recovery, announced the availability of a new AI-powered RTL feature – Auto Detect & Guard. Auto Detect & Guard monitors all data deletions performed on a given day, trains/learns from them, and develops patterns. If a data deletion request does not match the pattern, the solution alerts the customer’s IT team, and ExaGrid automatically extends the delayed deletion policy to prevent the deletion of the repository layer. If the deletion is an intended operational action, the IT team can resolve the alert, and ExaGrid will revert to the original delayed deletion policy. This provides the customer with two benefits: early warning of a possible cyberattack in which hackers attempt to delete backup data, and ensuring that data is preserved in the ExaGrid repository layer, which is inaccessible to the network.

ExaGrid tiered backup storage solutions feature a network-accessible disk cache target zone that stores the latest backups in a non-deduplication format for fast backup and recovery. Deduplication occurs in a non-accessible network layer, called the repository layer, for longer-term retention. ExaGrid’s unique architecture and features provide comprehensive security, including retention lock for ransomware recovery . A combination of tiered air gap, delayed deletion policies, and immutable objects protects backup data so it cannot be deleted or encrypted. In the event of an attack, the non-accessible ExaGrid layer is ready for recovery.
