Automated Backups for Your Servers & Databases

Your infrastructure is live. But is it recoverable? We configure simple, automated backups for your servers and databases so you can recover critical data when something goes wrong.

Most teams set up their server, get it working — and never think about backups again. Until something breaks.

A system update goes wrong

You run a standard update — a kernel patch, an OS upgrade — and the server won't reboot. Everything on it is inaccessible. Without an external snapshot, you're rebuilding from scratch.

A developer drops a table

One wrong command in a database migration and years of order history are gone. Without a recent external dump, there is no way back — only a blank table where the data used to be.

A migration corrupts the data

A failed deployment half-migrates your records — some rows updated, others left inconsistent. The backup on the same server reflects the corrupted state. You need an isolated, timestamped copy.

The fix is simple, but it has to be external. If your only copy is on the server that just broke, you are stuck. Automated backups to a separate location mean yesterday's working state is always within reach.

Four layers of protection, all automated

We configure it once and it runs every night. If something goes wrong, you have a clean copy to recover from.

Server Snapshots

We configure your cloud provider to take a full snapshot of your server every night. If an update breaks the machine, we revert the whole thing to how it looked the day before — straightforward to restore.

Protects against: broken updates, boot failures, OS corruption

Database Protection

Whether you use MySQL, Postgres, or a managed database, we set up automated dumps. Your data is exported and sent to a secure, separate storage bucket — isolated from the main server so a failure there can't take both.

Protects against: dropped tables, failed migrations, data corruption

File Storage

If your application stores user uploads, documents, or media, we ensure these are replicated or versioned. A file deleted by mistake isn't gone — it exists in the backup history and can be retrieved.

Protects against: accidental deletion, storage failure, ransomware

Retention Rules

We help you set sensible policies — daily backups for 7 days, weekly backups for a month. Long enough to catch problems you didn't notice immediately, short enough to keep storage costs under control.

Protects against: slow-burn data issues, unchecked storage costs

Configured once, running every night

We set it all up, test a recovery end-to-end, and document exactly what's backed up and how to restore it. You're not left guessing if it actually works.

  • Automated nightly snapshots of your server(s)
  • Database dumps exported to a secure, separate location
  • File and upload storage replication or versioning
  • Retention policy configured to balance coverage and cost
  • End-to-end recovery test — so you know it works before you need it
  • Written documentation: what's backed up, where, and how to restore

Most setups take 1–2 working days. We'll need access to your server or cloud account — we'll walk you through exactly what's required and nothing is changed without your approval first.

Is this for you?

This service is a good fit if any of the following sounds familiar:

  • You run your own server or VPS on any cloud provider
  • You have a database that your business depends on
  • You've never tested whether your backups actually restore
  • Your current backup is stored on the same server as the data
  • You're not certain what's being backed up — or how often
