Introduction
As you know, backups are critical to any data recovery procedure. In the event of a user error, a malicious attack, or a catastrophic infrastructure failure, reliable backups make the difference between an inconvenience or potentially a total disaster with a huge impact on your business. That’s why we have built our backup service for reliability, performance, and security. Each backup has several copies, which are safely stored on encrypted hardware distributed over not only multiple data centers, but also separate countries and suppliers. We engineered our backup service so that you can trust your data is safely stored and available 24/7.
Pricing
The cost of a backup is calculated based on the number of GB's stored during a month.
The cost per GB/Month is €0,0525.
This is an “all-in” cost with no hidden additional fees, such as for traffic. There is no cost for retrieving a backup!

Selectively restoring parts of a backup requires logging in to your stack item via ssh or connecting remotely via sftp.
