Why Traditional Backup Security Isn't Enough
Most backup platforms secure storage infrastructure, but once backup data is restored, copied, or exported, sensitive information may no longer be protected.
Locktera secures the files themselves before they are written to backup storage, ensuring protection continues wherever backup data is restored or moved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Locktera secure backup data?
Locktera Secure Data Gateway encrypts files with AES-256 on the client side before they are written to backup storage. Files are stored as immutable Locktera containers, ensuring they remain protected regardless of where they are stored or restored.
Does Locktera replace my existing backup software?
No. Locktera works alongside your existing backup platform. Continue using solutions like Veeam, Rubrik, Cohesity, Dell, Commvault, or other backup software while Locktera adds persistent encryption and immutable protection before data is stored.
Can I continue using my existing storage?
Yes. Locktera stores protected backup files in your existing storage environment, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Wasabi, S3-compatible storage, and on-premises object storage.
Are backup files encrypted before they leave my environment?
Yes. Encryption occurs on the client side before data is transmitted to storage, helping protect backup data from interception and unauthorized access.
Can Locktera protect data after it is restored from backup?
Yes. Unlike traditional backup encryption that primarily protects stored backup media, Locktera protects the backup files themselves. Security remains with the file whether it is restored, copied, moved, archived, or stored in another location.
What makes Locktera different from backup encryption?
Traditional backup encryption primarily protects storage infrastructure or encrypted volumes. Locktera protects each individual backup file before it is stored, allowing security to remain with the file throughout its lifecycle.
Can backup files be restored normally?
Yes. Protected backup files can be restored through your normal recovery workflow. Locktera secures the files without requiring changes to your backup or storage architecture.
Does Locktera support immutable backups?
Yes. Files are stored as immutable Locktera containers, helping prevent unauthorized modification or tampering after backup.
Does Locktera work for long-term archives?
Yes. Locktera is designed for both active backups and long-term archival storage, helping organizations preserve data integrity over years of retention.
Does Locktera work with cloud and on-premises storage?
Yes. Locktera supports hybrid environments, allowing organizations to protect data stored on-premises, in public cloud storage, or across multiple cloud providers.
Is Locktera suitable for ransomware protection?
Locktera helps strengthen ransomware resilience by encrypting backup data before storage and storing files in immutable containers, making unauthorized modification significantly more difficult. It should be used as part of a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy.
Which industries use Locktera Secure Backup & Archive?
Organizations in healthcare, financial services, government, legal, manufacturing, media, and other regulated industries use Locktera to protect backup and archive data containing sensitive information.
