  4. Furthermore, air-gap volumes offer a lot more benefits than just acting as a plan B. Air-gap volumes stop the spread of any kind of malware to the backups by removing them from the network. Other than this, air-gap volumes make it impossible for hackers to get to the air-gapped backup. Also, air-gapped backup improves the probability of recovery of data. All this makes air-gapped backup very useful and must-have feature in any backup appliance. In Conclusion Air-gapped backup is a great feature of a backup appliance.
