Backup storage
Simple access. Clear capacity.
Restricted SFTP access
Upload and retrieve files with SFTP-compatible backup software. Storage accounts have file-transfer access, not an interactive shell.
Canadian storage
Your backup files are stored in Canada. For a source hosted elsewhere, this can be an off-site destination. Ask us about physical separation when backing up another DotMoose service.
Choose your storage size
Each plan has a fixed storage limit. Allow room for your files, retained versions and growth.
Monthly billing
Pay monthly and move to a larger plan as your backups grow.
Your backup software controls the schedule
Your backup software controls what gets copied, how often, how long versions are kept, encryption and restores. The storage plan does not create backups automatically.
Need more than 4 TB?
Tell us how much data you have and how long you need to keep it. We will help size a larger plan.
What a second copy protects
Keep a backup outside the system you are protecting.
A copy on the same server does not protect against losing that server. Keep independent copies and test that you can restore them.
Source
The live server, workstation, website, database, or application whose data changes during normal work.
Backup job
The software or process that decides what to copy, when to run, how to handle consistency, and which restore points to retain.
Destination
The separate storage location that receives the copy and must be tested by actually reading data back during restore drills.
Backup guides
Set up your backups and test a restore.
Capacity
How many GB of backup storage do you need?
Size a computer, server or website backup from protected data, retained versions, change rate and growth.
StrategyFull vs incremental backups
Compare backup windows, storage use, restore chains and retention tradeoffs.
TransferWhat is SFTP?
How SSH-based file transfer, dedicated keys, restricted accounts and restore testing fit together.
Does backup storage automatically back up my server?
No. DotMoose backup storage is the destination. Your backup software or process must create and send the copies on the schedule and retention policy you choose.
Is SFTP the same as FTP?
No. SFTP is the SSH File Transfer Protocol and runs over SSH. It is a different protocol from traditional FTP and FTPS.
Is mirrored storage the same as an independent backup?
No. Disk mirroring helps a storage system tolerate a disk failure, but it is not an independent copy of the service itself. Recovery planning should account for failures beyond one disk.
How do I know a backup works?
Restore representative files and application data. A successful upload proves that data was transferred; a restore test proves that the copy can actually be used.
