Isolated snapshot storage for fast ransomware recovery

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media;
• one or more processors operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• a data vault system comprising program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, direct the computing device to at least:
• receive, by a configuration manager via a first port located on a switch in the data vault system, a snapshot recovery request corresponding to a data storage service,
• determine, based on the snapshot recovery request, to provide a snapshot to the data storage service to facilitate a snapshot recovery process,
• in response to determining to provide the snapshot, enabling a second port on the switch;
• retrieve the snapshot from a storage volume of the data vault system,
• transmit, via the second port, the snapshot to provide the snapshot to the data storage service, and
• disable the second port on the switch after transmitting the snapshot.
