Automated verification keeps backups trustworthy, while granular recovery options let you retrieve exact data from a specific point in time.
• 3-year maintenance for updates and support: The 3-year maintenance package includes software updates, security patches, and access to expert technical support. Stay current with the latest features, ensure compatibility with evolving systems, and rely on professional assistance whenever needed.
