Home > Managed Backups Overview
Instead of counting on a local backup drive, why not let Touch Support manage remote backups for you? Our backup solutions take the hassle out of providing an essential service to you and your customers. Our managed backup solution uses top-grade hardware and software to ensure that your data is always protected and always available. Let us handle the daily task of redundancy - outsourcing to Touch Support means more free time to operate and grow your business!


Requirements
Operating Systems : RedHat, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD
Control Panels: None Required
Minimum: $10.00



 
Platform
Many backup solution providers offer simple user-level accounts on shared machines, which compromises the security of your data by not fully locking down your files - potentially opening them up for viewing or manipulation by the other backup users on the system. We solve this problem by offering each of our clients their own virtual private space that allows full access to you while keeping others out.

Physical
Our NOC and mini-datacenter are physically watched every minute of every day by our datacenter technicians. There is no greater security than several human beings physically monitoring the datacenter floor. Additionally, our datacenter has completed an SAS 70 Type II audit issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), ensuring stringent controls over all aspects of the datacenter operations.

Network
All backup transfers are blowfish encrypted (1024 bit) to ensure that your data remains private and maintains its integrity on the journey from your server to our backup array. External network connectivity for clients not hosted by us is provided by multiple 10 gigabit connections, ensuring that your data gets to the backup servers securely and efficiently.


 
All of our backups are maintained on fault tolerant backup arrays. In addition we conduct periodic failure readiness tests to ensure a drive failure will not cause harm or inconvenience to our clients.


 
Our setup process as it pertains to new clients entails a simple server questionnaire. After this is complete, our team will login to your server and, based on your specifications, configure your backups to be congruent with our backup schedule. After this is done, we will run the initial backup within 24 hours. All backups from this point forward will be incremental backups run at the scheduled time of day/week.


 
While every client is provided with a private VPS for their own backup space, we do limit access to SSH-only connections. The VPS is further limited by concurrent connections and transfer speed. As our system is based on incremental bacukps, it should be noted that we do not allow transfers of daily control-panel-generated or other backup archives or files (for example, cPanel's daily backup .tar.gz files).

It's important to ensure quality that the space we offer be used only for backups and only for the backup schema we have in place. As we will maintain your backups, there is no additional need to upload or copy files into your backup space in general, however, if special needs exist, you may contact our team 24 hours a day to make special arrangements.
