About this tag
Air-gapped backups are a critical component of modern disaster recovery and ransomware defense strategies. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight their role in protecting Active Directory environments and Microsoft 365 data from sophisticated cyberattacks. By maintaining physically or logically isolated copies of backup data, organizations can ensure recoverability even when primary systems are compromised. The Sophos and Rubrik partnership exemplifies how integrated solutions leverage air-gapped backups to counter AI-driven threats. Real-world incidents, such as the KNP Logistics collapse, underscore the necessity of such measures to prevent catastrophic data loss and business failure. These threads emphasize that air-gapped backups are not just a technical safeguard but a strategic imperative for enterprise resilience.
