The company has enabled backup by default when creating new virtual machines

Yandex has restored access to 97.16% of customer data on the Yandex Cloud cloud platform following attacks on data centers. Another 2.84% of information could not be recovered due to severe equipment damage and the absence of backups.

At the same time, clients who proactively used backup tools retained all their data. No losses were recorded in this group.

Following the incident, the company changed its data protection settings. Now, backup is automatically enabled when creating new virtual machines. Previously, users had to enable this option manually. The terms of service have not changed: if necessary, clients can opt out of creating backups.

In addition, Yandex continues to redistribute Yandex Cloud computing capacity across independent sites in various regions of Russia. The company plans to continue expanding the network of such locations.
