Backup Strategies

The Architecture of Data Immutability

In today’s threat landscape, your backups are a primary target — not a last resort. Sophisticated ransomware locates and encrypts backup repositories before launching its main assault, leaving unprepared organizations with no way back. STSG creates backup and data recovery from the ground up to be architecturally invisible to attackers and operationally indestructible.

//WHY IT MATTERS //

The STSG Continuity Guarantee: Hope Is Not a Recovery Strategy

A backup is only as good as its integrity, its scope, and its proof.
These three commitments run through everything we manage.

List

Immutable by Design

Our 3-2-1-1-0 backup standard ensures a pristine, untouchable copy of your data always exists — beyond the reach of ransomware, insider threats, or a compromised administrator.

List

Recovery, Not Just Restoration

Data without infrastructure is unusable. Our DRaaS framework restores your complete business ecosystem — applications, dependencies, and network access — not just files.

List

Proven, Not Assumed

An untested recovery plan is a theory. We replace assumption with documented proof through continuous, non-disruptive resilience testing that confirms your RTO and RPO targets are always met.

3-2-1 predates modern ransomware, which now hunts and encrypts backups first. Our 3-2-1-1-0 standard adds an offline, immutable copy and zero-error verification, so a clean copy survives even a privileged-credential breach or full site failure.

Immutable backups use Write Once, Read Many (WORM) object lock: once written, the data can't be altered or deleted by anyone — including a compromised administrator — for a defined period. Combined with logical air-gapping, it's the ultimate ransomware kill-switch.

Yes, and it matters more than most realize — those providers don't fully back up your data for you. We provide dedicated SaaS backup that guards against accidental deletion and internal threats, with application-consistent capture.

We don't assume — we verify. Every backup runs through an automated nightly sandbox restore to confirm it's bootable and malware-free, with real-time telemetry alerting our engineers to any failure or anomalous data growth.
