Your Business Runs on Data. Protect It

ESDS Backup as a Service is India’s indigenous Cloud backup solution. MeitY empanelled, DPDP compliant by architecture. Endpoint to server. Office 365 to database. Every copy immutable. Every recovery point verified. Your data stays on domestic soil, under domestic law, managed by the same team that protects leading enterprise infrastructure.

Different Workloads Require
Different Recovery Objectives

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) focuses on restoring systems and applications after disruption. Backup as a Service (BaaS) focuses on protecting data through backup, retention and recovery. The choice depends on what needs to be recovered, how quickly it needs to be restored and how long the data must remain available.

Hot Storage

Cloud storage for files and databases requiring low-latency access

Storage SSD and high-speed disk arrays on ESDS managed infrastructure
RTO Minutes to hours
Use case Critical databases, active files, systems requiring immediate restoration after deletion or corruption
For Core banking systems, ERP databases, mission-critical application data

Warm Storage

Data stored in standard cloud object storage, accessible within hours.

Storage Standard cloud object storage on ESDS managed platform
RTO Hours
Use case Monthly backups, audit data, non-critical system restoration, compliance snapshots
For Enterprise workloads, regulatory submission data, departmental backups

Cold Storage

Data stored in deep archive tiers for compliance and long-term access.

Storage Deep archive tiers. Data requires retrieval before access.
RTO 12 to 48 hours
Use case Long-term compliance data, rarely accessed records, regulatory mandated retention periods
For Banks under RBI retention mandates, government bodies, healthcare under DPDP

When Ransomware Hits,
Your Backup Becomes the Battleground

Ransomware can compromise production data and disrupt applications. Effective recovery starts with protected backup copies, appropriate retention and recovery processes that account for the possibility of compromised restore points.

01

Immutable Backup Copies

Recovery points protected against unauthorised encryption, modification or deletion.

Banking
02

Air-Gapped Storage

Backup copies isolated from production networks, DR networks and the internet through physical and logical separation.

Banking
03

Malware-Scanned Recovery Points

Recovery points scanned for malware before restoration, helping teams select recovery data for restoration.

Banking
04

Automated Backup Scans

Automated scans check backup integrity and flag corruption before a recovery is needed.

Banking
05

Clean Environment Restoration

Restore to a verified clean environment instead of bringing compromised data back into the affected system.

Banking

One Cloud Data Protection Platform
Built for the Data Your Business Cannot Lose

BFSI

RBI mandates data retention. DPDP mandates residency. Your backup copies cannot leave domestic soil, cannot be accessed by foreign jurisdictions and must be restorable within defined timeframes for regulatory audit. ESDS BaaS meets all three simultaneously.

Enterprise & SAP

SAP HANA databases, ERP transaction logs, month-end snapshots and year-end archives. All backed up on managed infrastructure with full restoration testing.

Government & PSUs

One SLA. No gaps. No excuses. CAG audit requires documented, restorable data. DPDP requires citizen data on domestic soil with verifiable erasure capability. ESDS BaaS provides both. MeitY empanelled. GeM listed. Procurement ready.

Healthcare & Pharma

Patient records, clinical data and regulatory submissions under GxP and DPDP cannot be lost, cannot leave India and must be restorable on demand. DPDP-compliant residency. Immutable copies for regulatory defensibility.

IT & SaaS

Office 365 data, application databases, development environments and customer data. Remote endpoint backup for distributed teams. Replication migration between environments without data loss. Managed storage for companies building on managed cloud.

Your Last Backup Is Only as Good as
Your Ability to Restore From It.

We evaluate your current backup posture against DPDP residency requirements, ransomware resilience, retention policy compliance and restoration capability: the four pillars of secure cloud backup. No obligation. Honest findings. Same team from assessment to managed operations.

  • 100% managed infrastructure. Domestic jurisdiction.

  • Immutable. Air-gapped. Built for ransomware resilience.

  • DPDP compliant by architecture

  • MeitY empanelled, procurement ready

  • Same team for backup and DR. One SLA. No gaps.

Tough Questions. Direct Answers.

01

If we already have DR, why do we need BaaS separately ?

DR keeps your systems running. It does not protect your data. A hot standby replicates your production environment in real time including corrupted files, ransomware-encrypted data and accidental deletions. If production is compromised, your DR site mirrors the compromise.

BaaS maintains independent, immutable copies of your data that DR cannot touch. You need both. One without the other is a gap your next incident will find.

02

Our IT team runs nightly backups to our own servers Why is that not enough ?

Three reasons. First, your backup server is on the same network as your production environment. Ransomware reaches it. Second, you have never tested a full restoration under pressure at 2 am when the business is down. Third, your backup server is in the same building as your production server.

One fire, one flood, one power failure and both are gone simultaneously. ESDS BaaS puts your backup copies on managed infrastructure across geographically separated data centers, air-gapped from your network, with restoration tested regularly and documented for auditors.

03

We store backups on a foreign cloud What is the actual legal risk under DPDP?

Significant. Under DPDP, personal data of Indian citizens must remain within domestic jurisdiction with verifiable residency. A foreign-parented cloud provider storing your backup copies is subject to that country’s law including compelled access by foreign authorities.

When the Data Protection Board asks where your citizen data is, “on a foreign cloud in an Indian region” is not a clean answer. The penalty for failure to implement adequate security safeguards is up to ₹250 crore. Your backup architecture is a compliance decision, not just an IT decision.

04

What happens to our backups if ESDS itself faces an outage ?

Your backup data is distributed across multiple geographically separated ESDS Tier III data centers: Nashik, Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, Mohali and Noida. A single site outage does not affect your backup copies. Each data center has N+N redundant power, cooling and connectivity.

05

How do we know our backups are actually restorable ? We have never tested them

You do not. That is the problem. Most organizations discover their backups are broken when they need them. ESDS BaaS includes scheduled restoration testing, not simulations, actual data restoration to a test environment, validated against the original, documented in a report your auditors can sign off on.

If a backup copy fails a restoration test, we identify and resolve the issue before it becomes a crisis. Testing is not optional. It is included.

06

Our regulator is asking for proof that citizen data can be erased completely across all copies Can you demonstrate this?

Yes. ESDS BaaS supports automated, verifiable data erasure across every copy: primary backup, warm storage, cold archive and replication. Erasure is logged, timestamped and documented. The erasure report is producible on demand for the Data Protection Board, CAG or any regulatory body.

We do not accept “we believe it was deleted” as a sufficient answer for our own clients. Neither should your regulator. Ask for our data erasure documentation in the free backup assessment.

07

What is your SLA if backup data is lost or unrestorable when we need it?

Defined financial remedies in the contract. Not service credits. Not an apology. Real accountability with real numbers. Our architecture is designed with safeguards to help prevent data loss.

Distributed copies, immutable storage, regular restoration testing. But the contract does not assume good faith. Ask for the SLA terms and remedies before you sign.
