Backup Service Details

Onsite Datacenter / On-Premise Backup

For organizations that require immediate access to backup data or need to maintain backups on-site for compliance reasons, we offer onsite or on-premise backup solutions. This service provides:

  • Fast recovery times with local data access
  • Immediate backup availability without network dependency
  • Compliance with on-premise data retention requirements
  • Flexible backup scheduling and retention policies

This option is ideal for businesses that need quick data restoration capabilities or have specific regulatory requirements for local data storage.

Dual ZFS Array at Separate Location

This optional remote backup service replicates your backups to Dataforge's dual node ZFS system located in a separate building. This provides multiple layers of protection:

  • Geographic Redundancy - Your data exists in physically separate locations, protecting against site-wide disasters such as fires, floods, or power outages
  • Hardware Redundancy - The dual node ZFS array ensures that even if one node fails, your backups remain accessible on the second node
  • Automatic Replication - Backups are automatically synchronized to Dataforge's remote location, ensuring your offsite copy is always up-to-date
  • Data Integrity - ZFS provides built-in data integrity features including checksumming and automatic error detection

This optional service provides essential protection against catastrophic data loss by storing your backups in Dataforge's geographically separate infrastructure.

Quarterly Backup to Encrypted Tape

For long-term data archival and compliance requirements, we offer quarterly backups to encrypted tape. This service provides:

  • Air-Gapped Protection - Tapes are stored offline, providing protection against cyber threats and ransomware attacks
  • Long-Term Retention - Ideal for meeting regulatory requirements for data retention over extended periods
  • Encryption - All tape backups are encrypted to ensure data security even if physical media is compromised
  • Cost-Effective Archival - Tape storage provides an economical solution for long-term data retention
  • Disaster Recovery - Offline tape storage provides an additional layer of protection in disaster recovery scenarios

Quarterly tape backups are perfect for organizations that need to maintain historical data archives or meet specific compliance requirements for long-term data retention.

Optional Extended Geo-Redundancy

For organizations with enhanced disaster recovery requirements, we offer optional extended geo-redundancy services. This can include:

  • Additional geographic locations for backup replication
  • Enhanced replication frequency and monitoring
  • Custom backup strategies tailored to your specific requirements
  • Multi-region disaster recovery capabilities

Extended geo-redundancy is ideal for enterprises with strict business continuity requirements, multi-region operations, or specific compliance needs that require data to be stored in multiple geographic locations.
