Every year on March 31 marks World Backup Day — a reminder every enterprise must take seriously: data is a core business asset, often more valuable than physical property. Once lost, the damage can be immeasurable.
Imagine this: a system administrator accidentally deletes critical banking data, a hard drive suddenly fails, or ransomware silently infiltrates the network. Within hours, business operations may halt, customer trust can erode, and financial losses can escalate dramatically.
In the digital era, backup is no longer just a technical function — it is the lifeline of enterprise continuity.
Overseas Solutions Struggle to Meet China’s Digital Transformation Requirements
For a long time, the domestic data backup market was dominated by international vendors. However, with the implementation of policies related to data security, domestic innovation, and data sovereignty, overseas backup solutions are facing strict compliance requirements. Combined with inherent technical limitations, they are increasingly unable to meet the evolving needs of Chinese enterprises and have become constraints in critical industry data protection:
- Compliance challenges and data sovereignty risks
Due to geopolitical factors and regulatory requirements, overseas solutions often lack core technology controllability and may involve cross-border data risks, making it difficult to meet the demand for autonomous and secure data control. - Rigid architecture and weak localization support
Overseas solutions struggle to adapt to cloud-native deployments, multi–data center environments, and hybrid cloud scenarios. Compatibility with domestic chips, operating systems, and databases is often insufficient. - Limited scalability and performance
With explosive data growth during digital transformation, overseas solutions face performance bottlenecks, resulting in low backup efficiency and slow recovery speeds, which cannot meet the high requirements for business continuity.
Info2soft i2Backup: From Catch-up to Breakthrough Innovation
The evolution of Info2soft i2Backup reflects the journey of China’s backup technology — from early exploration to industry leadership. Each version upgrade has focused on real-world enterprise backup requirements:
- V6.1 – Initial release supporting basic file and traditional database backup and recovery
- V7.1 – Added synthetic backup, instant recovery, and copy data management
- V8.1 – Introduced secure communication, support for object storage, deduplication storage, tape storage, and domestic database compatibility
The true technological leap began with the V9 initiative.
Facing technical barriers from global vendors and pain points of traditional backup solutions, the Info2soft R&D team rebuilt the underlying architecture from scratch. The new i2Backup V9 delivers four major breakthroughs:
- Fully distributed architecture with intelligent traffic scheduling
Eliminates centralized bottlenecks and supports large-scale data backup with high performance and consistency. - Advanced security with anti-ransomware protection
Built-in proprietary data verification technology ensures zero data loss while defending against malicious tampering. - Full-scenario compatibility and multi-cloud backup
Seamless support for private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud deployments with unified data management. - Ultra-fast recovery for business continuity
Intelligent tiered storage and pre-cache technology significantly accelerate recovery. In one project, restoring 100 TB of data was reduced from 72 hours to just over ten hours.
Deployed in a Major State-Owned Bank Core System
In September 2024, i2Backup V9 was deployed in a major state-owned bank, successfully replacing international backup solutions.
- Over 50 PB data scale with 10 TB daily growth handled smoothly
- Full compatibility with domestic platforms including Kunpeng, Hygon, GaussDB, Kylin, and UOS
- Intelligent traffic scheduling improved backup efficiency and reduced recovery time
The project not only replaced legacy solutions but also addressed compliance auditing and tape backup challenges, reducing costs and improving recovery performance.
Beyond Replacement: Defining a New Backup Standard
Info2soft continues to innovate based on the i2Backup V9 architecture:
- AI-driven intelligent backup
Automatically identifies critical data, reduces redundant backups, and enables automated recovery drills. - Seamless replacement of legacy systems
Supports one-click migration of NBU strategies and smooth transition without rebuilding infrastructure. - Cloud disaster recovery for all organizations
Pay-as-you-go cloud DR services allow enterprises of all sizes to build professional data resilience.
From technological follower to industry leader, Info2soft continues to drive innovation, safeguarding enterprise data assets while contributing to global data security.
World Backup Day is more than just one day.
Info2soft i2Backup V9 strengthens enterprise data protection with Chinese innovation, safeguarding every critical data asset.
