Backup Backups Backups

We are serious about our backups. Every Magento account includes:

  • Nightly backup of all files to a local backup drive, 5 days of backups retained at all times
  • Each MySQL database is dumped nightly for a 100% safe point-in-time backup file, retained for 5 days
  • Nightly bare metal backup is taken from a Continuous Data Protection System (CDP) that allows us to fully restore the server in the event of data corruption or loss of the RAID array.
  • Offsite geographically diverse daily backup taken for disaster recovery purposes.

 

We strive to provide a customized environment that is personalized to each Magento store to help you get the most out of your ecommerce solution. Very few hosts take this approach with Magento, instead opting to provide a generic framework that is not designed for maximum performance and reliability.
