This one explains what happens after prevention fails. Because it always does.
Ransomware does not care about your policies. Attackers do not respect your perimeter. And compliance does not restore your data. When systems are compromised, recovery becomes the only control that still matters.
This guide explains why backup and recovery are not an IT hygiene task, but a core cybersecurity capability.
Most cybersecurity content repeats the same advice:
All of that helps. None of it guarantees survival. This document starts from a different assumption: Assume breach. Design for recovery.
This paper shows how attackers target backup systems, how most backup architectures fail, and what a resilient design actually looks like.
No hypotheticals. No high-level fluff. Just architecture, trade-offs, and consequences.
Bacula is used in environments where failure is not an option:
These environments do not assume perfect prevention. They assume compromise and design around it. This guide documents that mindset. If you want marketing summaries, skip it. If you want to understand why backups fail under attack, download it.
