Why Backup as a Service

Recovery that runs without intervention

Automated Scheduled Backups

Fully automated scheduled jobs for Cloud Compute, Bare Metal, and Colocation.

File & Image-Level Restores

Recover a single file in seconds, or roll back an entire server image with one click.

Offsite Replication

Optionally replicate backups into a second metro on the other side of the country for an additional layer of protection.

Configurable Retention

Keep 7, 14, 30, or 90 days of history, or contact us to scope custom compliance retention.

Two Ways to Back Up

File-level, image-level, or both

Different workloads call for different granularity. Most customers run both, layered on the same schedule.

File-Level Backup

Granular, file-by-file backup jobs that let you browse a backup set and restore individual files or folders without affecting the rest of the system. It is the right approach when you need a specific document or dataset returned rather than a full server rebuild.

Restore individual files or folders in seconds
Lower overhead for frequent, incremental runs
Best for application data, user files, and databases
Image-Level / Full-System Backup

Complete, bare-metal snapshots of an entire server, including the OS, applications, configuration, and data, captured as a single point-in-time image you can restore wholesale onto new or existing hardware.

One-click bare-metal restore to new hardware
Whole-server snapshots, not just data
Best for disaster prep and full-environment rebuilds
Retention

Choose how far back you can go

Longer retention provides more restore points to choose from. Select the window that matches your workload and compliance requirements.

7-Day

Rolling short-term history for fast rollback after routine changes or deploys.

14-Day

A wider recovery window for teams that require two weeks of restore points.

30-Day

The standard for most production workloads and general best practice.

90-Day

Extended retention for compliance-driven and audit-sensitive environments.

Options

Use Cases

Why teams automate their backups

Compliance-Driven Retention

Meet regulatory requirements in healthcare, finance, and other regulated industries with extended, documented retention windows.

Ransomware Recovery

Roll back to a clean, pre-infection restore point instead of paying a ransom or rebuilding from scratch.

Accidental Deletion Protection

Recover a file, table, or entire volume after human error, preventing an incident from becoming an outage.

Pre-Maintenance Snapshots

Capture a safety snapshot immediately before a high-risk change or maintenance window, with a straightforward rollback path if the change does not go to plan.

Need to keep the business running during an outage, not just restore lost files? That is a distinct requirement. See Disaster Recovery as a Service for failover and RTO/RPO-driven planning.
