No network connection means no access point for threats
The most sophisticated security strategies often embrace a simple principle: physical separation. Air-gapped backups create an insurmountable barrier between your protected data and potential threats by eliminating network pathways entirely.
The air gap backup solution approach has become particularly relevant as organizations face evolving security challenges and stringent compliance requirements across regulated industries.
How Zmanda
delivers true air-gap
protection
Start your free trial
Complete offline operation
Unlike traditional air-gap backup solutions that still require internet for licensing or billing, Zmanda runs 100% offline. Your backup infrastructure remains completely isolated from your production network.
Automated physical separation
Data replicates to isolated storage via encrypted one-way transfer. Automated tape rotation ensures physical air gap and zero persistent network connections
Military-grade security without the complexity
30TB of secured data for just $80 with LTO-8 tapes. No per-GB pricing games and no cloud dependencies.
Features that enable true air-gapped protection
Zmanda’s robust encryption system combined with our air-gapping and data isolation techniques offer you an intelligently secured solution. With Zmanda, you are made recovery-ready for your air-gapped environments.
Immutable write-once architecture
Backup data becomes unchangeable once written—immune to encryption, deletion, or modification attempts. Even with fully compromised admin credentials, your backups remain intact and recoverable.
Advanced encryption framework
Multi-layer protection using AES-256 encryption with offline key management. Tokenized authentication operates without any network connectivity, maintaining security without creating vulnerabilities.
Intelligent automation engine
Schedule complex rotation patterns, manage tape libraries, and orchestrate disconnection protocols automatically. Reduce operational overhead while eliminating human error from critical security procedures.
Continuous integrity verification
Cryptographic checksums validate every backup automatically. Know your data is recoverable before disaster strikes, with detailed integrity reports available through the offline management console.
Unified backup platform
Comprehensive data protection features—deduplication, compression, indexing, analytics—all accessible through a single interface that never touches the internet. Manage everything from one secure location.
Universal hardware compatibility
Works with all major tape libraries and supports LTO-4 through LTO-9. Leverage existing investments or choose new hardware based on your needs, not vendor lock-in.
