Object Lock-protected storage via Canadian e3 Object Storage
Recovery points cannot be encrypted, altered, or deleted by an attacker — even with stolen admin credentials.
RANSOMWARE RECOVERY
Backups Attackers Cannot Encrypt.
When Cloud Backup writes to Canadian e3 Object Storage with Object Lock enabled, recovery points cannot be encrypted or deleted by an attacker — even with stolen admin credentials. Restore the whole stack from always-hot Canadian storage in hours, and prove it on a 14-day free trial.

The challenge
Ransomware Now Targets Your Backups First
Modern ransomware crews do not flip the encryption switch on day one. They live inside the network for weeks, study the environment, locate the backup server, and quietly encrypt or delete the recovery points before triggering the primary attack. By the time the user-visible damage starts, the rollback plan is already gone — and recovery time is measured in weeks while payroll, ERP, and order-entry stay offline. The backup repository is the attack target now, not a fallback.
- !Attackers locate and encrypt backup repositories before triggering the primary ransomware payload.
- !Median dwell time runs 30 to 90 days — long enough to poison the recent recovery points the team would normally restore from.
- !RTOs measured in weeks while payroll, ERP, and order-entry workloads stay offline.
- !Cyber-insurance carriers now deny claims at renewal without documented proof of immutability.
Why generic backup falls short
Why Most Backup Setups Fail During a Ransomware Event
Most SMB backup designs were built for hardware failure, not for a human attacker holding domain admin. A local NAS shares the same Active Directory and the same LAN segment as production, so it encrypts in the same wave. Hyperscaler S3 without Object Lock can be deleted by a stolen IAM key — "in the cloud" is not the same as immutable. Glacier-class archive tiers take days to thaw when minutes matter. And a shallow retention window leaves nowhere to walk back to once the attacker's dwell time has poisoned the recent snapshots.
- —Local NAS backups share Active Directory and LAN segment with production — they encrypt in the same wave.
- —S3 without Object Lock can be deleted by a stolen IAM key; "in the cloud" is not the same as immutable.
- —Glacier-class archive recovery takes days you do not have during an active incident.
- —Shallow retention windows leave no point-in-time depth to step past the attacker's dwell window to a known-clean snapshot.
How eazyBackup solves it
How eazyBackup Makes Recovery Boring
e3 Object Storage is our Canadian, S3-compatible backup target with Object Lock available on every bucket — no egress fees, no API fees, always-hot. Point eazyBackup Cloud Backup at it for end-to-end coverage of endpoints, servers, VMs, NAS, SQL, and Microsoft 365 from one console. Or bring your own backup tool — Veeam, MSP360, Comet, Synology, HYCU, and any S3-compatible client write to e3 the same way. Either path puts an immutable, Canadian-resident copy outside the attacker's blast radius. MSPs running backups across a client fleet can apply the same Object Lock pattern across every tenant.
Air-gapped Canadian cloud destination, separate from your AD and LAN
Backups live where the attacker's lateral movement cannot reach them.
Always-hot storage with 24/7 restore access
Recovery in hours, not days — no archive thaw delay during an active incident.
Configurable retention with hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly points
Step back past the attacker's dwell window to a known-clean snapshot — not just last night's poisoned copy.
AES-256 with customer-controlled keys
Stolen storage credentials still cannot read your data.
Coverage for endpoints, servers, VMs, NAS, M365, and SQL
Restore the whole stack — not just the laptops — from one console.
Bring your own backup tool — Veeam, MSP360, Comet, Synology, HYCU, and any S3-compatible client
Drop a Canadian Object Lock target into the workflow you already run, without re-platforming.

A real-world scenario
Manufacturing SMB Recovers from a Friday-Night Ransomware Hit — No Ransom Paid
A 180-employee Canadian manufacturer is hit on a Friday at 9 p.m. by a modern ransomware crew (Akira-class) that has been dwelling inside the network for six weeks. The SQL ERP database, the engineering file shares, the on-site Veeam repository, and the local NAS all encrypt in the same wave. By 11 p.m. the IT team confirms the on-prem recovery plan is gone — but eazyBackup has been writing immutable copies to Canadian e3 Object Storage with Object Lock enabled, and those copies are intact and unreachable from any LAN credential. Because retention runs deep, the team selects a snapshot from before the suspected dwell window — well over six weeks back — and restores the SQL ERP database, the engineering file shares, and the order-entry VM from one console over Saturday.
Outcome
No ransom paid. Production resumes Monday morning at the start of the week, with no business-hours downtime lost. The documented immutability log — timestamped restores, retention attestations, Object Lock proof — is delivered to the cyber-insurance carrier within the same week as evidence the recovery points were never reachable by the attacker. The same e3 Object Lock pattern is what protects EHR and imaging workloads on the clinical side and long-retention archives elsewhere in the platform — same primitive, same Canadian backbone.
