Document scope

This solution brief introduces the Syneto Cloud Data Protection approach: continuous immutable Recovery Points on SyFS, asynchronous replication to a secondary site or vault, and one-click recovery of VMs or files from any point in the retention window. Includes architecture diagrams, the full SLA Policy taxonomy, sample dashboards, and the operational drill cadence.

The problem03
Chapter 01 · The problem

Backup is broken.

Traditional backup architectures were designed for tape-era windows and weekly full restores. They are slow, fragile, and lose the moment ransomware encrypts your environment — backups included.

Avg ransom
€1.8M
Recovery cost
€5.1M
% data recovered after pay
60%
Avg dwell time
11 days
Backup windows

Production slows or pauses while jobs finish — incompatible with 24×7 business.

RPO measured in hours

Daily or 4-hour cadences mean entire workdays can be lost in one incident.

Mutable backups

Ransomware operators target backup repositories first — undeletable backups are rare.

Restore lottery

Recovery time is unpredictable. Most teams discover bottlenecks during the actual incident.

Chapter 02 · The Syneto approach

Continuous immutable protection.

Syneto Cloud Data Protection replaces backup with continuous, immutable Recovery Points captured on the storage layer itself — every minute, with zero application impact.

SLA Policies turn intent into automation.

A SLA Policy declares the retention shape per VM. SyFS enforces it: cadence, retention windows, replication target, hold rules. No agents, no scripts, no cron files.

Syneto consolidates what other vendors require multiple SKUs to deliver: virtualization, storage, replication, backup and disaster recovery. One platform. Four unified capabilities.

Hypervisor

VMware ESXi or Hyperion (Syneto's KVM-based hypervisor) — your choice, both managed from the same console.

Data management

SyFS, our copy-on-write filesystem with native snapshots, deduplication and compression.

Data protection

Immutable Recovery Points every minute. Application-consistent snapshots. WORM commits.

Disaster recovery

AES-256 encrypted, dedup-compressed asynchronous replication to a DR site, cloud, or air-gapped vault.

Deployment08
Chapter 06 · Deployment

The recovery drill cadence.

01

Monthly — RP integrity

Clone a random Recovery Point to isolated network. Boot VM, validate. CENTRAL signs the report.

02

Quarterly — Air-gap

Assume production compromised. Restore from HYPER Echo vault. Time end-to-end revival.

03

Semi-annual — DR

Declared failover to secondary site for tier-1 workload. Failback after validation.

04

Annual — Tabletop

Simulated incident with execs + ops. Communication, decision authority, sequencing.

Drills become compliance evidence

Each drill emits a signed CENTRAL report — usable as NIS2, DORA and ISO/IEC 27001 audit evidence. Auditors stop asking for screenshots.
