Backup As a Service for Secure Data Protection

Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based solution that automates data backups, ensuring secure, scalable protection against loss, ransomware, and disasters. Cyfuture Cloud's BaaS offers encrypted, incremental backups with 99.999% uptime, instant recovery, and compliance with GDPR/ISO 27001, starting at affordable rates for businesses in India and beyond.

What is Backup as a Service (BaaS)?

Backup as a Service revolutionizes data protection by shifting traditional on-premises backups to the cloud. Instead of managing hardware, tapes, or software, BaaS providers like Cyfuture Cloud handle everything—storage, encryption, replication, and recovery. This model emerged in the early 2010s with cloud computing's rise, addressing the limitations of manual backups that often fail due to human error or outdated tech.

For businesses in dynamic environments like Delhi's tech hubs, BaaS means continuous data safeguarding. Cyfuture's platform uses agentless or agent-based deployment, capturing changes in real-time via incremental backups. This minimizes bandwidth use and storage costs while ensuring data integrity through checksum verification.

Why Choose BaaS for Secure Data Protection?

Traditional backups are vulnerable: 60% of companies suffer data loss from ransomware, per Veeam reports, and tape restores can take days. BaaS counters this with cloud-scale security.

Encryption Everywhere: Cyfuture employs AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, with customer-managed keys (CMEK) for zero-trust access.

Immutable Backups: Object lock prevents ransomware alterations, retaining snapshots for 30-90 days.

Geo-Redundant Storage: Data replicates across Indian data centers (Mumbai, Delhi) and international zones, surviving regional outages.

Compliance Ready: Meets RBI, HIPAA, and India's DPDP Act, with audit logs for forensics.

Cyfuture's BaaS integrates with VMware, AWS, and Kubernetes server, protecting VMs, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and SaaS apps like Office 365. Pricing scales pay-as-you-go: ₹5/GB/month for storage, with free trials.

How Cyfuture Cloud's BaaS Works

Cyfuture simplifies deployment in three steps:

Onboard and Configure: Install lightweight agents or use APIs for hypervisors. Set retention policies (daily/weekly) via an intuitive dashboard.

Automated Backup: Schedules run 24/7, deduplicating data to cut costs by 70%. Air-gapped copies isolate from production networks.

Rapid Recovery: Granular restore—file-level in minutes, full VM in hours. Test restores quarterly without downtime.

A real-world example: A Delhi fintech firm using Cyfuture recovered 10TB from a cyberattack in under 4 hours, avoiding ₹50 lakh losses. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access (RBAC) ensure only authorized users recover data.

Key Features of Cyfuture BaaS

Cyfuture stands out with enterprise-grade tools:

These features deliver a 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule: 3 copies, 2 media, 1 offsite, 1 immutable, 0 errors.

Benefits for Indian Businesses

In India's digital boom—projected 1.5 billion internet users by 2026—data breaches cost ₹17.8 crore on average (IBM). Cyfuture's BaaS cuts this risk:

• Cost Savings: 50-70% cheaper than on-prem; no CapEx.

• Scalability: Grows with zero-downtime migrations.

• Sustainability: Cloud efficiency reduces carbon footprint vs. tape libraries.

• Support: 24/7 India-based NOC with <15min response.

Case study: An e-commerce client in Noida scaled from 5TB to 50TB, achieving 100% uptime during Diwali peaks.
