Backup storage
Simple access. Clear capacity.
Restricted SFTP access
Upload and retrieve backup data over SSH using standard SFTP clients and compatible backup software without giving the storage account an ordinary interactive shell.
Canadian storage
The customer backup storage workload is designed to remain on Canadian infrastructure. It is separate from the live website or VPS when the source workload is hosted elsewhere.
Enforced capacity
The plan capacity is enforced by the storage service rather than existing only as a number in billing. Choose enough room for the current dataset, expected changes, and the restore points your backup software retains.
Monthly billing
Increase the storage plan as the protected dataset grows instead of buying a large fixed allocation before you know the real backup footprint.
Your backup software controls the schedule
The storage endpoint is a destination. Backup frequency, version history, retention, database consistency, encryption, and restore logic depend on the software and process sending data to it.
Need more than 4 TB?
Contact DotMoose with the live dataset size, expected change rate, desired retention, transfer pattern, and growth estimate so the capacity can be planned realistically.
What a second copy protects
Do not keep every recovery option beside the live data.
A copy on the same server can disappear with the same failed disk, mistaken deletion, account compromise, or destructive incident. Backup storage is most useful as one part of a recovery design that separates copies from the system being protected.
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
Plan for restore, not just upload.
Capacity
How much backup storage do you need?
Estimate capacity from the live dataset, change rate, retention, compression 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.
