Get enterprise-scale data protection

IBM Storage Protect is a data backup and recovery software. Storage Protect is part of the software defined storage products in the IBM Storage portfolio. For backup and recovery of SaaS applications, see Storage Protect for Cloud.

IBM Storage Protect (formerly IBM Spectrum Protect) provides comprehensive data resilience for physical file servers, virtual environments and a wide range of applications. Organizations can scale up to manage billions of objects per backup server. Clients can reduce backup infrastructure costs with built-in data efficiency capabilities and the ability to migrate or copy data to tape, public cloud services, and on-premises object storage. 

Features

• **Proven best practices: **Follow IBM Storage Protect blueprints to eliminate guesswork. These blueprints are designed to provide tested and proven best practices and guidance that help customer's meet SLAs and achieve great performance.
• **Data replication: **Replicate both deduplicated and encrypted data on an incremental and granular level from one server to another, or to two target servers to improve efficiency and security with different retention policies for onsite and offsite replication.
• **Built-in cloud integration: **Use cost-effective, security-rich container storage pools without additional hardware or gateway on IBM Cloud® , IBM Cloud Object Storage, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and other validated S3 object storage services.
• **Comprehensive data protection: **Enable advanced data protection for cloud, virtual and software-defined environments; core applications; and remote sites. Recover individual items, complex systems and entire data centers from primary and remote recovery sites. 
• **Data lifecycle automation: **Make use of flexible data lifecycle automation rules to leverage existing backup data to meet long-term retention needs, without ingesting additional copies. Automatically move data from higher-cost storage to lower-cost storage as it ages.
• **Secure to the core: **Get security notifications for potential ransomware attacks. Two key authorization for administrator commands; data encryption and native support for tape and immutable object storage enhance protection and ensure cyber resilience.
