Previously data protection , specialists TSU used standard means of information systems. But the increase in volume, data increasing activity, cybercriminals and periodic staff errors led to the need to create an information protection system that could meet all the needs of the university's divisions.

Like any organization, we depend on data. We need not only to ensure that information is safe and protected from user errors, hardware failures, or cybercriminals, but also to ensure the integrity of data, the resilience of backups to change, told the head of the network and system administration department of Togliatti State University Alexander Berezhko.

The backup solution had an extensive list of requirements. It was supposed to confidently interact with most current operating systems of the Windows and Linux families, support VMware vSphere and Hyper-V, work with various media - hard drives and solid state drives, SAS and RAID arrays. In addition, requirements included the ability to create full, differential and incremental backups, compression, deduplication, and automatic removal of outdated backups. Another condition was the presence of various options for restoring from backups: when loading, while maintaining security settings, with changing the user's SID during recovery. Several candidate decisions were considered by the university. The choice was made in favor of the development of Cyberprotect. This was influenced not only by the capabilities and technical characteristics of the Cyber ​ ​ Backup solution, but also by its presence in the Register of Domestic Software.

TSU specialists carried out the implementation of Cyber ​ ​ Backup on their own within a month. At the same time, additional training of personnel was not required. Cyber ​ ​ Backup is an easy-to-deploy and configure system that any system administrator can work with, emphasized Alexander Berezhko.
