Volume backups that outlast any failure.
Automated backup of block storage volumes with long-term retention, deduplication and cross-region replication for databases, apps and file systems.
- Long-term retention
- Cross-region copies
- 50-70% smaller with dedupe
- Immutable (WORM)
Immutable backupsIndependent copies for when it really matters.
Volume backup creates complete, independent copies of your block volumes, separate from snapshots or replication. Backups can be kept for years, moved to other regions and restored to entirely different systems.
We handle incremental backups, deduplication, encryption and verification testing so your backups actually restore when you need them.
Protection snapshots cannot give.
Long-term retention
Months or years, for 7-year financial records, HIPAA, GDPR and SOX.
Cross-region protection
Copies in other locations survive regional disasters.
Independent recovery
Safe even if the server, storage or account is compromised.
Deduplication and compression
Cut storage costs by 50 to 70%.
Efficient, verified, ransomware-proof.
Incremental forever
One full backup, then only changes.
Block-level deduplication
Duplicate blocks stored once across all backups.
Bandwidth optimisation
Compressed, scheduled off-peak and throttled.
Lifecycle policies
Older backups tiered to low-cost storage automatically.
Multi-version recovery
Full volume, files or even database tables from any point.
Immutable backups
WORM storage that cannot be changed, even with admin rights.
Use both, for different jobs.
Snapshots: quick recovery
Instant copies stored with the volume. Fast, but 30 to 90 days and tied to the same infrastructure.
Backups: long-term protection
Independent copies stored elsewhere. Unlimited retention and survive catastrophic failure.
Best practice
Snapshots for day-to-day rollback, backups for continuity and compliance.
Questions we hear often
How often should I back up?
It depends on your RPO. Critical databases hourly or continuous, application volumes daily, file servers daily or weekly, with GFS retention (7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly, 7 yearly).
How does deduplication save money?
Identical blocks across backups are stored once, typically cutting storage by 50 to 70% for similar systems.
Can I restore to another cloud?
Yes. Backups are infrastructure-independent, so you can back up from one platform and restore to another.
