Cyber recovery vault: air-gapped LTO tape for ransomware recovery
Add an offline recovery layer beyond network reach to support ransomware recovery planning.
Network-only controls can still leave backup and disaster recovery paths exposed. Teams need an air-gapped copy tier with controlled restore workflows.
Tape supports offline handling, immutable (WORM) media options, and policy-driven copy separation, so disaster recovery workflows stay isolated from active network attacks.
Architecture steps
- Replicate production backups into a protected archive policy tier.
- Create air-gapped offline copies with controlled transport and custody controls.
- Run scheduled restore tests to validate disaster recovery runbooks and timing.
Governance controls
- Use WORM-capable policies for records that require immutability controls.
- Pair encryption-ready operations with strict key-management practices.
- Document vaulting and restore procedures as part of incident response runbooks.
