Of ransomware attacks target backups first
When attackers compromise production, they destroy backups before demanding ransom. If your recovery data lives in the same AWS account, or even the same AWS Organisation, it will not survive a targeted attack. Source: Sophos State of Ransomware 2024

Air Gap Recover stores your recovery data in a completely separate AWS Organisation, encrypted with keys only you hold, locked with hardware-enforced immutability, and instantly accessible the moment you need it.

How It Works
01
Protect
Your data is encrypted with customer-managed KMS keys and continuously replicated via S3 Cross-Region Replication to a vault in a completely separate AWS Organisation, with no shared network, no shared IAM, and no shared credentials with production.
02
Isolate
The vault is structurally invisible from production. S3 Object Lock Compliance Mode prevents deletion by any user, including AWS root administrators. A fully compromised production account has no mechanism to reach your recovery data.
03
Rebuild
Automated runbooks rebuild your entire AWS platform from vault snapshots in under 60 minutes: data, network configuration, and application stack. Quarterly non-disruptive drills validate every element. Your RTO is tested, not estimated.

Why It Outperforms Traditional Backup
01. Cost
One Data Copy, Not Three
AWS Backup cross-region vaults multiply storage costs, as each protected object is copied separately per destination. Air Gap Recover uses S3 Cross-Region Replication: one primary copy, continuously mirrored. At petabyte scale, the cost difference is substantial.
02. Speed
Instant Access, No Rehydration
Recovery data lives in S3 Standard, not Glacier or Archive storage tiers. There is no retrieval delay, no rehydration queue, no 12-hour wait when you're under attack. Restore begins immediately, the moment you need it.
03. Compatibility
Native AWS Format, No Agents
No proprietary backup agents. No custom data formats. Your data remains as standard S3 objects, EBS snapshots, and RDS backups, restoring directly to AWS services exactly as they were, without conversion, translation, or vendor lock-in.
04. Scale
Built for Petabyte-Scale S3 Data
Designed for organisations protecting tens of terabytes to multiple petabytes of S3 data. S3 CRR with Replication Time Control handles any volume automatically, with no performance degradation, no manual intervention, and no upper limit.
05. Security
Zero Standing Access by Design
No persistent connections to your environment. Every operation uses 15-minute STS credentials with break-glass MFA authorisation under your own IAM permissions. Databarracks cannot access your data: architecturally enforced, not promised.
06. Completeness
Recover the Platform, Not Just the Data
Air Gap Recover protects S3, EBS, RDS, EFS, and Git repositories. After an attack, you rebuild your entire AWS infrastructure, not just restore files, from a known-good, quarterly-tested state.

About Databarracks

Databarracks has provided managed cloud data protection since 2003, long before cloud was mainstream. As an AWS Partner, we designed Air Gap Recover specifically for the AWS-native enterprise: without agents, without proprietary formats, and without the cost structures of traditional backup infrastructure.

Cost & Performance Advantages
vs. AWS Backup
One copy, not multiple vault copies
S3 Cross-Region Replication maintains a single replicated copy, with no vault multiplication of storage costs. Organisations protecting petabytes of S3 data see significant savings compared to AWS Backup's cross-region vault model.
vs. Glacier / Archive Tiers
Instant access, no rehydration ever
Recovery data stays in S3 Standard. No retrieval delays, no rehydration fees, no 12-hour queues when you're under attack. Access is immediate, because in a real incident, minutes matter.
vs. Legacy Backup Solutions
No agents, no proprietary formats
Pure AWS-native technology. Data remains as S3 objects, EBS snapshots, and RDS backups. No software to install, no custom formats to manage, no vendor dependency beyond your own AWS account.
