Druva's process is a fast, agentless, and API-direct workflow that secures your Azure Files data without requiring any customer-managed infrastructure.
Step | Component/Location | Description |
Initiate Backup Job | Enterprise Workloads Management Console | The backup job is initiated either automatically (per the configured backup policy) or interactively by an authorized administrator in the console. |
Extract Data (Agentless) | Your Azure Storage Account | Druva connects securely to your Azure Files storage account over the Azure Files public endpoint using TLS 1.2+ encryption. Data is securely extracted using Azure Files REST APIs (an agentless connection) and incurs zero egress cost to your Azure account. |
Optimize and Secure Storage | Druva Data Resiliency Cloud | Data is highly optimized and secured: Blocks are globally deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted before being written to Druva secure, air-gapped storage, where backups are protected with AES-256 encryption at rest. |
