Backup As a Service for Disaster Recovery

Backup as a Service (BaaS) for Disaster Recovery is a cloud-based solution that automates data backups, secure storage, and rapid restoration to minimize downtime during disasters like ransomware, hardware failures, or natural calamities. Cyfuture Cloud's BaaS provides scalable, encrypted backups with RPO/RTO as low as minutes, ensuring business continuity for enterprises in India and beyond.

Key Benefits:

• Automated, incremental backups to Cyfuture's Indian data centers.
• Geo-redundant storage for high availability.
• One-click recovery via intuitive dashboard.
• Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and Indian DPDP Act.

Pricing starts at ₹500/TB/month—contact sales for a free assessment.

Cyfuture Cloud's BaaS transforms traditional disaster recovery (DR) by offloading complex backup management to a fully managed cloud service. Unlike on-premises solutions that demand hefty hardware investments and constant maintenance, BaaS leverages Cyfuture's Tier-III data centers in Mumbai and Noida for secure, scalable protection.

What is Backup as a Service (BaaS)?

BaaS is a subscription-based model where Cyfuture Cloud handles data backup, replication, and recovery. It uses agentless or agent-based tools to capture snapshots of servers, VMs, databases, and applications. Data is encrypted with AES-256, deduplicated, and stored across multiple availability zones. For DR, BaaS ensures the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of data, on 2 different media, with 1 offsite.

In a disaster—say, a cyberattack wiping out primary servers—Cyfuture's BaaS restores data to the same or alternate infrastructure in under an hour, slashing Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Recovery Point Objective (RPO) measures data loss, often limited to 15 minutes with continuous replication.

Cyfuture integrates BaaS with VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, and bare-metal servers, making it ideal for hybrid environments common in Indian SMEs and enterprises.

Why BaaS Excels for Disaster Recovery

Traditional backups fail in real disasters due to single points of failure. Cyfuture's BaaS addresses this with:

Immutable Backups: Ransomware-proof snapshots that can't be altered or deleted, even by admins.

Air-Gapped Storage: Isolated copies in Cyfuture's vaults, disconnected from production networks.

Global Redundancy: Data replicated to secondary Indian regions, ensuring <1% annual downtime.

AI-Driven Anomaly Detection: Alerts on unusual access patterns, preventing breaches.

A 2025 Gartner report notes that 75% of organizations using cloud BaaS recover from disasters 50% faster than on-prem alternatives. For Indian businesses facing frequent power outages or floods, Cyfuture's local latency (<50ms) outperforms global hyperscalers.

Real-World Example: A Delhi-based fintech firm using Cyfuture BaaS restored 10TB of transaction data post-ransomware in 45 minutes, avoiding ₹2 crore in losses.

Cyfuture Cloud's BaaS Features

Cyfuture tailors BaaS for DR with enterprise-grade tools:

Pricing is pay-as-you-go: ₹0.5/GB/month for storage, ₹2/GB for transfers. Scale from 100GB to petabytes without CapEx.

Implementation Steps for Disaster Recovery

Deploying Cyfuture BaaS for DR follows a streamlined process:

Assessment: Free Cyfuture audit identifies critical assets and RTO/RPO targets.

Deployment: Install lightweight agents or use API integrations (5-10 mins/server).

Policy Configuration: Set schedules, retention (e.g., 7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly), and geo-targets.

Testing: Quarterly DR drills with Cyfuture's failover simulations.

Monitoring: 24/7 NOC oversight via Cyfuture portal.

Best Practice: Combine BaaS with Cyfuture's DRaaS for automated failover orchestration.

Cost Savings and ROI

Switching to Cyfuture BaaS cuts DR costs by 60-70%. A typical 5TB setup costs ₹30,000/month vs. ₹1 lakh+ for on-prem. ROI hits in 6 months through avoided downtime—IDC estimates average DR event costs ₹20 crore/hour for mid-sized firms.

Cyfuture's Indian sovereignty ensures data residency compliance, dodging international transfer fees.

Conclusion

Cyfuture Cloud's Backup as a Service revolutionizes disaster recovery by delivering fast, secure, and cost-effective data protection tailored for India's dynamic business landscape. With immutable backups, low RTO/RPO, and local infrastructure, it empowers organizations to bounce back stronger from any disruption. Invest in BaaS today to safeguard your operations—resilience is no longer optional.

Follow-Up Questions with Answers

1. How does Cyfuture BaaS differ from DRaaS?
BaaS focuses on data backups and restoration; DRaaS adds full environment failover (e.g., running apps in Cyfuture Cloud during outages). Use BaaS for cost-effective data protection, upgrade to DRaaS for zero-downtime orchestration.

2. Is Cyfuture BaaS suitable for regulated industries like banking?
Yes, it complies with RBI guidelines, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Features like WORM storage and audit trails ensure audit readiness.

3. What’s the setup time for BaaS?
Under 30 minutes for initial deployment; full policy rollout in 1-2 hours. Cyfuture provides white-glove onboarding.

4. Can I trial Cyfuture BaaS?
Absolutely—start with a 14-day free trial for up to 1TB. Schedule a demo at cyfuture.cloud/bbaas-trial.
