Write once, never change
Once a backup is saved, no one can change it. It cannot be encrypted, deleted or edited. Even if an attacker steals admin passwords, your backups are safe.
Air gap backup solution
Fully offline backups with SIMPANIX
Stop data breaches. With SIMPANIX Pro, your backup system can run fully offline. No one can reach it to change or delete your data.
Air gap backup solution
- Runs fully offline
- Kept apart from your network automatically
No network means no way in
The best security often uses a simple idea: keep things apart. An air-gapped backup has no network link. Attackers have no path to reach it.
This matters more and more. Threats keep changing, and many industries have strict rules for data.
How it works
How SIMPANIX gives you a real air gap
Runs fully offline
Many air-gap tools still need the internet for licenses or billing. SIMPANIX does not. It runs 100% offline, fully apart from your main network.
Kept apart automatically
Data moves to separate storage in one direction only, and it is encrypted. Tapes rotate automatically. There is never a lasting network link.
Top security, made simple
Keep data offline on LTO tape. No per-GB fees. No need for the cloud.
Features
Features for real air-gap protection
SIMPANIX uses strong encryption and keeps your data apart from the network. Your offline backups are always ready to restore.
Strong encryption
Many layers of AES-256 encryption. Keys are managed offline. Login works with no network, so there is no weak point.
Smart automation
Schedule tape rotation, manage tape libraries and disconnect systems automatically. Less work for your team and fewer human mistakes.
Always checked
SIMPANIX checks every backup automatically. You know your data can be restored before a disaster happens. See full reports in the offline console.
One backup tool
Dedup, compression, search and reports, all in one screen. It never connects to the internet. Manage everything from one safe place.
Works with your hardware
Works with all big tape libraries, from LTO-4 to LTO-9. Use the hardware you have, or pick new hardware you like. No vendor lock-in.

What is the difference between air-gapped and offline backups?
An air-gapped backup has no network link at all. Data moves on physical media. An offline backup may still connect now and then for updates or checks. SIMPANIX gives you a full air gap with no network needs.
How long does a restore from an air-gapped backup take?
SIMPANIX customers usually restore key systems in about 4 hours. SIMPANIX keeps an index, so it finds files without reading the whole tape. Speed depends on how much data you have and your hardware.
Do air-gapped backups meet compliance rules?
Yes. SIMPANIX’s air-gap setup meets PCI-DSS, SWIFT CSP and government security rules. You also get automatic compliance reports and audit logs.
What if we need more tape space?
SIMPANIX works with all big tape libraries and formats (LTO-4 to LTO-9). Add tapes, upgrade drives or add a tape robot. Your backup setup stays the same.
Do we need to move tapes by hand?
No. SIMPANIX works with tape robots that rotate tapes for you. You only move tapes by hand if you choose to, for example to save money.
How do updates work with no internet?
You get updates through safe offline channels. Move the update files on a USB drive or other safe media. Your air gap stays closed and your systems stay up to date.
Can we test restores without breaking the air gap?
Yes. SIMPANIX has separate test areas for restores. Check that your data can be restored, and your air gap stays safe.
