The backup service must deliver 24/7/365 restoration assistance and support immutable backups, anomaly detection, secure restore options to prevent reinfection, granular restore point generation, and instant Virtual Machine (VM) recovery. Additionally, the software must enable flexible licensing, allowing the reallocation of licenses across environments. The initial contract period is one year, and all vendor questions must be submitted by March 27, 2026.
