Toyokumo Introduces New Enterprise Course for kBackup

In a bid to bolster its data protection offerings, Toyokumo Inc., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced the launch of a new Enterprise course for its backup service, kBackup, on June 1, 2026. This innovative service is tailored for businesses that manage sensitive data under stringent internal security policies, allowing them to back up information from the no-code and low-code tool, kintone, directly to their own Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments.

A Response to Security Needs

Historically, businesses restricted from backing up data to external environments found significant barriers in adopting backup services due to the constraints of existing solutions. Toyokumo’s prior offerings required data to be stored within a Toyokumo-managed AWS environment, presenting challenges for companies with policies prohibiting external data transfers. The new Enterprise course addresses these concerns by enabling companies to comply with internal regulations while still securing their vital data.

By leveraging their own AWS environment for backups, businesses can now ensure compliance with their security standards without compromising on data integrity. The core philosophy of this course hinges on protecting essential data while adhering to internal rules, offering a seamless backup process that aligns with corporate policies.

Key Features of the Enterprise Course

1. Automated Data Backups: Setting up the service is straightforward; customers only need to specify their own AWS during the initial configuration. Once established, kintone data is automatically backed up to the designated AWS environment without the need for manual exports, significantly reducing operational burdens.

2. Flexible Backup Configurations: Businesses can specify different backup destinations for each kintone app. This aspect provides customization and allows for enhanced security measures, such as keeping only highly sensitive apps under in-house management.

3. Integration with BI Tools: The backups stored within the customer’s AWS can be integrated with Business Intelligence (BI) tools like Amazon QuickSight. This not only offers a backup solution but also transforms the data into a valuable analytical resource for business performance evaluation.

4. User-friendly Restoration: Users will find that switching the backup destination to their environment does not alter the intuitive restoration process, as it remains accessible through the existing kBackup management interface. This retains user operability while ensuring robust governance and ease of use.

Pricing and Availability

The Enterprise course will be available starting June 1, 2026, at an introductory monthly cost of 50,000 yen (excluding tax). Additionally, there are plans for the future addition of audit log features to enhance internal controls, reflecting Toyokumo’s commitment to continuous improvement and security enhancement.
