Your backup platform proves the copy exists. Elastio proves whether that copy is safe to restore.
Backup jobs complete. Snapshots replicate. Retention holds. None of that confirms the data inside is clean and restorable. Elastio inspects every backup, snapshot, and replica as it lands — comparing against production where it matters — so the recovery point your team selects is one you can defend.
Recovery Reality
In ransomware engagements across financial services, healthcare, and the public sector, backup teams routinely find that the recovery point they planned to use was already contaminated days or weeks before the incident was declared. Without per-asset inspection, the only way to discover it is to attempt the restore — which is when the real downtime begins.
We once spent a week trying to restore backups after a ransomware attack. Each backup was infected, leading to further downtime and lost data. We didn't know which backups were safe. It was pure guesswork.

What Changes When Elastio Runs Behind Your Backup Stack
Four measurable changes. Each addresses a gap your backup platform leaves behind.
Pick a Restore Point With Documented Evidence
Every backup, snapshot, and replica gets a timestamped clean-or-compromised verdict as it lands. When contamination is found, Elastio walks the chain backward and forward to identify the last proven clean point per asset — measured against production, not inferred from job logs. Quarterly DR drills become 365 days of evidence; "we ran a test last quarter" becomes R-RPO per asset.
Explore Elastio HuntRestore Only the Clean Files From a Partial Hit
When part of a backup is contaminated, Curated Restore extracts only the clean files. The team does not lose an otherwise-useful recovery point because some files were touched. Recovery moves forward instead of falling back further in time.
About Curated RestoreNo Change to Jobs, Proxies, or Windows
Agentless and read-only. No new agent on the backup proxy. No changes to retention, schedules, repositories, or job policies — and no impact on backup windows. Elastio reads from what your backup tooling already produces. The team’s runbook stays intact.
How Connectors WorkOne Engine Across Every Backup Tool
Most enterprises run more than one backup platform — Veeam for VMs, Commvault for files, AWS Backup for cloud-native, Cohesity or Rubrik for other workloads. Elastio inspects across all of them through one engine and produces one set of findings. The backup team gets unified visibility instead of pivoting between tool-specific consoles.
All Supported PlatformsBackup Platform Coverage
Every Backup Surface, One Policy Engine
Elastio inspects what your backup tooling produces — across cloud-native vaults, enterprise backup repositories, snapshot chains, and live filers. No new agents on the backup proxy.
Cloud-Native Backup
Inspects vault contents and managed snapshots automatically as backup jobs complete.
Enterprise Backup
Reads from existing backup repositories. No agent on the backup proxy. No change to job policies.
Snapshots and Replicas
Inspects snapshot and replica chains so contamination is caught before it propagates further.
Filers and NAS
Inspects filer snapshots and primary volumes on the same schedule as backups, so the clean boundary is known on both sides of the recovery decision.
Recovery Workflow
The Backup Admin Workflow, With Evidence
Three steps the team already runs — inspect, trace, restore — backed by deterministic verdicts instead of restore drills and gut feel.
1.Is the latest backup clean?
Every backup, snapshot, and replica is inspected as it lands. Deep File Inspection opens each file, runs ensemble ransomware models, executes YARA rules, and returns a verdict — clean or contaminated — before the next restore is requested.
2.How far back is clean?
When contamination is found, Elastio walks the retention chain backward and forward across replicas and backup targets. The clean boundary for each protected asset is established with precision — the R-RPO per asset — not inferred from job logs.
3.Which point is verified safe?
The backup admin selects a recovery point Elastio has marked clean. Curated Restore can also pull only the clean files from a partially compromised backup. Restore executes through the existing backup tool. No re-infection from a verified point.

Fits the Stack Your Team Already Runs
Backup platforms, hypervisors, filers, and ticketing — Elastio reads from what you already have. Findings stream into the tools the backup team uses every day. For cloud-native deployment, IaC rollout, and multi-cloud account coverage, see For Platform Engineers.

Board Reporting
Taking this to your board?
Your board does not want to hear recovery is planned — they want proof it works. The For CISOs view turns clean-boundary evidence and R-RPO per asset into board-ready posture, regulator filings, and renewal underwriting.
