Backup as a Service 

Immutable, encrypted, application-aware backup with near-zero recovery time 

What it is

Backup is not disaster recovery, and it is not a guarantee of recovery.

It is only as useful as the architecture it is built on and the last time it was tested. CMTG’s Backup as a Service combines Veeam’s recovery orchestration with IBM Safeguarded Copy immutability technology to create a backup capability that goes significantly beyond what standard managed backup arrangements deliver. The backups are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered, encrypted, or deleted by anyone including CMTG. They are application-aware, meaning they capture the entire application state rather than just the files. And they are stored in air-gapped vaults that are physically isolated from the production environment. When a recovery is needed, it is fast because the backup is clean, verified, and complete.

What's Included?

Immutable backup

IBM Safeguarded Copy technology creates air-gapped, application-aware copies of client environments that cannot be altered or deleted. Not by ransomware, not by an administrator, not by CMTG

Four-hourly snapshots

During business hours, immutable snapshots are taken four times daily and retained for five days. Backup frequency is configurable to match the client's RPO requirements

Veeam-powered orchestration

Veeam manages the backup workflow, verification, and restore orchestration. Every backup job is verified on completion and failures are actioned by the NOC team immediately

Microsoft 365 backup

Cloud-to-cloud backup of all M365 workloads including Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Microsoft does not back up your M365 data and CMTG does

Offsite replication

Backup data is replicated between CMTG's two WA data centres over private dark fibre. A failure at one site does not affect backup integrity at the other

Encryption

All backup data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption keys held by CMTG under the client's agreement

Near-zero RTO for hosted environments

For clients hosted on CMTG's sovereign platform, recovery from backup is measured in minutes rather than hours. Application-aware copies mean the restored environment is operational immediately

Nightly offsite retention

Nightly backups retained for four months as standard. Extended retention and tape-based long-term storage available for clients with compliance-driven retention requirements

Why CMTG for this service

The IBM Safeguarded Copy architecture that underpins CMTG’s immutability capability is the same architecture IBM deploys for financial institutions and critical infrastructure operators globally. CMTG co-authored the white paper with IBM on how this architecture works in a VMware environment, presented it at IBM TechX in Sydney and Las Vegas, and was invited to the IBM FlashSystem ANZ Launch customer panel as one of a small number of selected partners. The backup capability is not generic. It is built on architecture that CMTG helped develop.
