Home > Managed Backups Overview
Instead of counting on a local backup drive, why not let Touch Support manage remote backups for you?

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!

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 data centerare physically watched every minute of every day by our datacenter technicians and security personnel. 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 performed over our internal network (when possible) for added security. This ensures 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 with 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 virtual directory for their own backup space, we do limit access to FTP, SCP and SSH connections. 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.
