QNAP Adds Air-gapped Backup Feature «Airgap+» in Hybrid Backup Sync

QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading provider of computing, networking, and storage solutions, announced the launch of Airgap+, an advanced air-gapped backup feature integrated into Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS). This innovative solution offers businesses enhanced data security, rapid recovery, and robust ransomware protection.

As cyber threats continue to escalate in their sophistication and impact, air-gap backups have become essential for safeguarding corporate data. Air-gap backup represents the «1» component in the 3-2-1-1-0 backup plan, where one backup copy is stored offline and disconnected from the network. Airgap+ addresses this need by creating a logical air-gap between NAS systems, providing an extra layer of backup security and enhanced integrity.

Airgap+ works with QNAP’s QHora router series (supported models listed below). QHora permits connections between the source NAS and the backup destination NAS only during the backup process, and blocks connections at other times.
