Backups are important and should be planned carefully. Sometimes I see situations where backups are created – which is a good thing – but are stored on the same server. This is something you do not want to do because if your server crashes your backups are gone as well. Instead you should store the backup on an external server. It’s even better to store the backups at an external location and in an external network.
Starting from today Yourwebhoster.eu offers backups at a new location in Amsterdam. This location is separated from Dronten and runs in a different network. This allows clients of Yourwebhoster.eu to make their backups at an external location. It also is possible to create the backups in Dronten as well: better safe than sorry. And the best part is that we have managed to keep the prices as low as the prices in Dronten.
We use Idera Server Backup (former R1soft) to safely and fast create backups, store them and secure them. With this smart software it is possible to create incremental backups meaning that only changed data is transferred to the backup server. Creating a backup is fun again because it only takes a minute (depending on the data) and can be fully automated. And to make you sleep better: it is possible to use our locations Dronten and Amsterdam together.
You can download individual or all files, individual databases or all databases and you can do a full restore to a bare metal server (a server without an Operating System). You are not limited to restore the backups to our servers so you can use external servers as well. This is useful when you want to create a copy or in case of disaster you can restore to any working server.
