• File versioning – Cloud backup can keep a history of your file changes depending on your retention preferences. Changed files are stored as a new version; this allows you to go back weeks to restore the desired version.
• Monitoring & Management – Automatic reports in the software and through email make sure that we are always up to date about the status of your backups.

SERVICE UPDATE:

From 1st January 2022 the “Workstation Backup” and “Server Backup” plans are being renamed to “Cloud Backup Standard” and “Cloud Backup Mission Critical” respectively.

We are making this change to better reflect that some customers want an enhanced level of service or a more basic level of service, regardless of whether the device being backed up is a server or a desktop computer. There are no changes in the price and no changes in the levels of service applied to each plan, which is now better shown in the table below. We will be updating all documentation in due course. Regardless of the name change we recommend that servers and other mission critical systems are covered by the “Cloud Backup Mission Critical” service.

Costs

The service is priced according to the level of service you require (Standard vs Mission Critical) and the amount of data you need to store on the backup server (we call this your quota). If your backup needs a larger (or smaller) backup quota will will let you know by email and automatically make the quota adjustment so your subsequent backups do not fail. This will naturally result in a higher or lower monthly cost. We’re happy to show you how your backup service is configured if you want to learn what is using up the space.
