The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
Built Into Every Instance
Automated snapshots, offsite replication, and point-in-time recovery for databases, cache, and VPS. Included at no extra cost.
The 3-2-1 Rule, Automated
Industry best practices for data protection, implemented automatically on every instance you deploy
Three Copies of Your Data
Your live production data, plus local snapshots, plus offsite replicas. Triple redundancy means no single failure can cause data loss.
- Live production instance
- Local NVMe snapshot
- Offsite S3 replica
Two Different Storage Types
Local NVMe snapshots for instant recovery. S3-compatible object storage for durable offsite backup. Different failure modes, maximum protection.
- NVMe SSD (Longhorn CSI)
- S3 Object Storage
- Independent failure domains
One Copy Offsite
Geographically separated backup in a different EU datacenter. Protected against regional disasters, ransomware, and infrastructure failures.
- Separate EU datacenter
- Ransomware protection
- Disaster recovery ready
How Your Data Is Protected
From live data to offsite recovery in three automated steps
Live Data
Your production instance running on high-performance NVMe storage
Local Snapshot
Longhorn CSI snapshot on local NVMe cluster for instant restore
Velero Export
Kubernetes-native backup exports to S3-compatible storage
Offsite S3
Encrypted backup in separate EU datacenter with 30-day retention

Enterprise Backup Features
Everything you need for bulletproof data protection
Automated Daily Snapshots
Set-and-forget backup scheduling. Every instance is automatically snapshotted daily with no configuration required.
Point-in-Time Recovery
For databases, restore to any second within retention. Recover from accidental deletes or corrupted transactions.
S3 Offsite Replication
Every snapshot is automatically replicated to geographically separate S3 storage using Velero for Kubernetes-native backup.
Instant Local Restore
Local NVMe snapshots restore in seconds. No waiting for downloads from cold storage when you need data fast.
Encrypted at Rest & Transit
AES-256 encryption for stored backups. TLS 1.3 for all data movement. Your backups are as secure as your live data.
Ransomware Protection
Offsite backups are immutable and isolated. Even if your primary infrastructure is compromised, recovery is possible.
Backup Use Cases
From compliance requirements to disaster recovery
Business Continuity
Ensure your business can recover from any disaster. Meet RPO and RTO requirements with automated backups and fast restore capabilities.
- Defined recovery objectives
- Automated failover procedures
- Documented recovery plans
Compliance & Audit
Meet GDPR, SOC 2, and other regulatory requirements with encrypted backups, audit trails, and EU data residency.
- GDPR-compliant storage
- Immutable audit logs
- Data residency controls
Ransomware Recovery
Immutable offsite backups ensure you can recover from ransomware attacks without paying ransom or losing data.
- Air-gapped storage
- Immutable snapshots
- Independent recovery path
Development & Testing
Restore production data to staging environments for testing. Create point-in-time copies for development workflows.
- Clone to staging
- Point-in-time copies
- Isolated test environments
Simple Restore Process
Four steps to restore your data, from selection to verification
Select Recovery Point
Choose from available snapshots or specify exact timestamp for point-in-time recovery.
Choose Destination
Restore to existing instance (replace) or create new instance from backup.
Initiate Restore
One-click restore from dashboard or API. Local restores complete in under 2 minutes.
Verify & Resume
Automated integrity checks confirm successful restore. Resume operations immediately.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Your backups are protected with the same rigor as your live data
AES-256 Encryption
Industry-standard encryption for all backup data at rest
TLS 1.3 In Transit
All data movement encrypted with latest TLS protocol
Integrity Verification
Automated checksum validation on every backup
EU Data Residency
All backups stored within European Union borders
