Why back up to AWS S3 with SIMPANIX Pro?

S3 is not only for AWS systems. With SIMPANIX Pro, Amazon S3 becomes a safe, low-cost backup store for all your data: on-prem, virtual and cloud.

  • Protect more than AWS

    Back up on-prem servers, VMware and databases straight to Amazon S3.

  • Store less. Save more.

    SIMPANIX removes duplicate data and only sends changes. You can pay for up to 90% less S3 space.

  • Made for hybrid setups

    Put backups from all your systems in one S3 store.

  • Restore only what you need

    Restore one file or one database. You do not need to restore a whole machine.

How safe is my backup data on AWS S3?

AWS S3 encrypts data by default. SIMPANIX adds one more layer of encryption, when data moves and when it is stored.

How does SIMPANIX lock backups on AWS S3?

SIMPANIX uses AWS S3 Object Lock in compliance mode. Once locked, no one can change or delete the data until the lock period ends. This is true even if someone steals your passwords.

What is AWS S3 Object Lock?

It is an AWS feature. It stops files from being changed or deleted for a set time. It protects you from ransomware and from mistakes.

What is the difference between compliance mode and governance mode?
  • Compliance mode: no one can delete or change a locked file until the lock period ends. Not even the root user. This is the safest choice. SIMPANIX supports it.
  • Governance mode: some admin users can remove the lock. SIMPANIX does not support this mode.
Why does compliance mode matter for ransomware?

Even if an attacker gets your AWS passwords, they cannot delete or change your backups during the lock period.

How do I turn on Object Lock in SIMPANIX?

Turn it on when you set up AWS S3 storage in SIMPANIX. You can lock key files for a set time and leave short-term files unlocked.
