Four Tiers of a Resilient Backup Architecture
This brief outlines a four-tier model for building a robust, modern recovery strategy. Tier 1 provides immediate failover through ActiveCluster or low-RPO failover with ActiveDR. Tier 2 uses rapid local snapshots and optional offloaded copies for fast rollback and cyber-resilient protection. Tier 3 maintains medium-term retention at a dedicated DR site with SafeMode-protected backup replicas. Tier 4 introduces an optional data bunker for long-term, one-way-in retention without dependency on legacy tape. Combined, the tiers reduce recovery time, enhance resilience, and protect against regional failures and ransomware.
