Backup2Cloud NG is Assurestor’s next-generation Backup-as-a-Service platform, engineered for the realities of modern hybrid IT environments.
Powered by HYCU R-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition, it offers partners a scalable service to protect critical data, no matter where it resides, with simplicity, resilience and speed; from within on-premise virtual and physical workloads through to both private (sovereign) clouds and public clouds from Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
Delivered as a ready-to-go service Backup2Cloud NG combines broad coverage, automation and security into a unified experience that helps MSPs and resellers deliver exceptional value to their customers.
Modern businesses run everywhere, from on-prem, in clouds, in hosted virtual environments and in SaaS applications. Backup2Cloud NG meets this complexity head-on with a platform designed for:
✔ Unified data protection across virtual machines, physical servers, file shares, NAS appliances and object storage.
✔ Hybrid coverage spanning public, private and multi-cloud infrastructures.
✔ Policy-driven automation that lets you set and enforce protection rules once and apply them everywhere.
This is not “backup by accident” … it’s protection engineered for scale and simplicity.
Backup2Cloud NG’s architecture is built for performance, security and operational efficiency:
✔ A lightweight HYCU backup controller at source.
✔ Fast, secure replication to Assurestor-hosted S3-compatible storage.
✔ Immutable S3 storage that safeguards against ransomware and malicious deletion.
✔ Optional at-rest encryption to protect data from prying eyes.
✔ Optional support for local targets to improve recovery speeds and add further data resilience.
