Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform is a leading choice for businesses moving to the cloud
Retrospect, a StorCentric company, today announced the general availability of Microsoft Azure Blob Storage support for Retrospect
Backup and Retrospect Virtual. The software updates allow businesses to leverage Azure as a backup destination as well
as a cloud storage location to protect on-premise data. Included in the release is support for ransomware protection
using Retrospect’s Immutable Backup, preventing malware from compromising critical business backups. With deep Azure
integration, Retrospect Backup continues to provide the industry’s most flexible backup solution with simple, safe, and
secure backups.
Microsoft Azure has grown dramatically recently, and with its addition to the wide range of cloud storage providers that
Retrospect supports, customers can select the best cloud based on their unique business. Retrospect Backup is able to
use Azure as a storage destination as well as a data source, enabling companies to protect assets stored on Blob Storage
using Retrospect’s workflow options.
“By integrating Microsoft Azure Blob Storage into Retrospect, IT administrators now have the ability to utilize their
organization’s existing Microsoft Azure account for offsite backups that can be locked down for a specific retention
period to protect against ransomware or other digital attacks,” said JG Heithcock, General Manager, Retrospect, a
StorCentric Company. “Retrospect’s unique policy-based backup and broad set of features, with granular filtering and
out-of-band backup transfers, allow companies to have a point-in-time restore for their data, protected by Microsoft
Azure in addition to Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage, among others.”Availability
Retrospect 18.1 for Windows and Mac is now generally available (GA) and free to customers who have Retrospect 18.
Retrospect is available in six languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.
