Backups
Protect your data with Amanda!
Files on servers can easily get corrupted, deleted or lost – having safe and reliable data backups is
essential. The recoverably of your data can ensure the survival of your business if disaster strikes.
We run the Amanda backup suite of software, with agents for Windows, Linux, and Solaris servers.
Backups are saved to our Storage Area Network, ensuring a quick and error-free backup, and speedy
restores in the event recovery is needed.

Virtual Tape Rotation
Our standard backup set is a “10 tape” rotation, giving 5 incremental backups (Mon-Thu), 3 weekly full
backups (Fri: week 1, week 2, week 3), and 3 monthly full backups (Fri: month 1, month 2, month 3).
Each virtual tape is 10GB, giving 100GB total backup space. Upgrades are available to 20GB, 50GB, and
100GB virtual tapes.
