Features

Built for reliability, not box-ticking.

Incremental Forever

A single full backup followed by lightweight incrementals. No backup windows destroying your network overnight.

Instant VM Recovery

Run a VM directly from the backup repository while the full restore completes in the background. Minutes, not hours.

Application-Consistent Snapshots

VSS and quiescing for SQL, Exchange, and Oracle. Data is captured in a consistent state every time.

Immutable Storage

Backup data is protected by object-lock immutability — ransomware cannot overwrite or delete your recovery points.

Deduplication & Compression

Inline deduplication and compression reduces storage consumption without compromising recovery speed.

Automated Restore Testing

SureBackup automatically boots recovered VMs in an isolated lab and verifies they pass health checks. Every job, every time.

Service Tiers

Choose your level of cover.

Pick the level of IronFell management you need. Tiers differ on who watches and recovers your backups — and how fast recovery is guaranteed.

Every plan includes immutable ransomware-proof backups, AES-256 encryption, choice of region (UK, EU or US; EU Sovereign / on-prem on request), an isolated recovery vault, full self-service portal, instant failure alerts, and setup kept running by IronFell. SaaS plans include unlimited storage*; infrastructure storage is sized to your environment.
