Sophos Central Backup And Recovery Integration Pack - Renewal - 58 Month And Servers - 58 M

Secure your server backup and recovery capabilities with this renewal pack for Sophos Central's Backup And Recovery Integration. This 58-month renewal is designed for organizations that rely on robust, policy-driven backups and rapid restores to minimize downtime. Tailored for 100-199 users, it provides scalable protection across server environments while ensuring ongoing access to Sophos Central's integrated backup features and security controls. By renewing this integration pack, you maintain continuous protection, simplified license management, and uninterrupted access to critical recovery workflows within your centralized security platform.

• Centralized protection for servers — This integration ties your server backup and recovery workflows directly into Sophos Central, providing a single pane of glass for monitoring backup health, policy enforcement, and rapid recovery. It supports heterogeneous server environments, including physical, virtual, and cloud-based servers, with application-consistent backups for critical services such as databases, mail servers, and file shares. By consolidating backup management, IT teams gain clear visibility into backup status, failure alerts, and restoration points, reducing mean time to recover and enabling faster root-cause analysis during incidents. The centralized dashboard also simplifies role-based access control and auditability, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations.
• 58-month renewal term — By locking in a 58-month renewal, you gain predictable budgeting, price stability, and uninterrupted protection without annual renewal cycles. This term aligns with typical hardware and software lifecycle planning, helping procurement teams consolidate purchases, simplify renewals, and avoid gaps that could expose data. It also provides continuity for audits and compliance reporting, because licensing state remains stable across critical security windows. The renewal can be managed through your existing vendor portal, with auto-renew options in some configurations for ease of administration.
• Policy-driven backups — Automated backup schedules align with business requirements and compliance needs. Create and apply retention policies, N-day or time-based retention, and verification procedures to ensure recoverable backups. The integration pack supports automated testing of backups, offsite replication to secondary storage, and auditing of backup events to support governance. You can tailor backup windows to minimize performance impact during peak hours, and ensure application-consistent snapshots for databases and other mission-critical services. The solution provides granular restore options, from full server recovery to file-level restores, reducing downtime and improving incident response.
• Ransomware-aware recovery — In the event of ransomware, restore operations can revert to known-good backups quickly. Versioning and immutable backups reduce the risk of data corruption, and rapid recovery workflows minimize downtime. The feature supports quick validation of backups, rollback to prior clean states, and automated testing routines to verify data integrity after restoration. It also offers integration with threat intelligence and remediation workflows to help identify compromised points and limit lateral movement within the environment. This capability helps organizations meet recovery time objectives and maintain business continuity despite threats.
• License scope for 100-199 users — This renewal is designed for mid-sized organizations with 100-199 users, enabling scalable protection for servers while keeping licensing straightforward. The renewal terms simplify license management, reduce over-provisioning, and provide clear coverage for your server estate. It includes centralized license provisioning, transfer options between devices, and a straightforward renewal workflow through your preferred reseller or direct portal. If your user base changes, upgrade options are available, and you can align additional servers or services under the same umbrella to preserve policy consistency and reporting accuracy.
