At Entexion, backups are an essential part of maintaining the stability, security, and resilience of our web hosting infrastructure. They form a critical layer of protection against data loss, system failures, and other unforeseen events that could disrupt service. By leveraging advanced technologies like Veeam and VMWare, we ensure that both our infrastructure and our customers’ data remain secure and recoverable.
Why Backups Are Crucial
In a dynamic hosting environment, issues like hardware failures, software bugs, or even human errors can occur unexpectedly. Without a reliable backup system, these incidents could result in data loss or extended downtime, impacting both business operations and customer trust. That’s where backups come in: they provide a safeguard by enabling disaster recovery, minimizing downtime, and ensuring business continuity.
How We Manage Backups
Our backup system is built to protect every layer of our hosting infrastructure, from individual virtual machines (VMs) to entire clusters of servers. We use Veeam to create automated, scheduled backups of all key data, ensuring consistency and accuracy. With VMWare, we manage virtualized environments, ensuring that each VM is fully protected with regular backups and snapshots.
Key features of our backup approach include:
- Automated Backup Scheduling: Regular, automatic backups to reduce manual intervention and minimize the risk of errors.
- Incremental Backups: We take incremental backups that capture only the changes made since the last backup, optimizing storage and ensuring efficient recovery processes.
- Offsite Backup Storage: For added security, our backups are stored offsite in secure, geographically diverse locations, protecting against localized incidents such as natural disasters.
- Testing and Verification: Backups are regularly tested and verified to ensure they’re recoverable, allowing us to act quickly in the event of an emergency.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
In the event of a disaster—whether it’s hardware failure, a cybersecurity breach, or a natural disaster—our backup system allows us to restore services quickly and efficiently. We maintain multiple copies of data across different locations, ensuring that we can restore critical systems with minimal downtime. Veeam’s capabilities enable near-instant recovery of virtual machines and data, reducing potential business disruptions.
Backups are an integral part of our disaster recovery plan, ensuring that:
- Data Integrity is Maintained: We ensure that all data is backed up securely, with regular integrity checks to avoid corruption.
- Recovery is Fast and Efficient: With frequent backups, we’re able to restore systems to their latest working state quickly, minimizing downtime.
- Infrastructure is Resilient: Our use of VMWare means that individual VMs can be restored or rolled back without affecting other services, providing flexibility in how we recover from failures.
Backups are a critical component of how we at Entexion maintain the reliability and resilience of our web hosting infrastructure. By using industry-leading tools like Veeam and VMWare, we ensure that our customers’ data remains safe and recoverable, no matter what. This comprehensive approach allows us to protect against data loss, recover quickly from disasters, and maintain seamless service continuity.
