Copies you can actually restore from
Scheduled snapshots and backup across instances, volumes and databases, on a retention you set and a restore we test.
What it is
Backup, in plain terms
Scheduled snapshots and backup across instances, volumes and databases, on a retention you set and a restore we test.
Scheduled
Daily, weekly or on your own cron, per resource.
Whole volumes
Restore to a new volume and attach it, rather than picking through files.
Database aware
Consistent copies rather than a snapshot mid-write.
Retention and lock
Keep copies for as long as your policy says, with deletion controlled.
How it works

- 02Copies are takenOf whole machines, disks or databases
- 03Old ones expireOn the retention you set, not indefinitely
- 04You restore to a new copySo the original is never at risk during a recovery
