Off-Site Backup
Having an effective method for automatically backing up your data is good. Storing that data in a secure, off-site location that is readily accessible for recovery is even better. Hostway offers off-site backup services to safely store files and full images physically separated from your production server equipment. Because of our North American footprint that includes multiple data centers in multiple cities, we can configure the backup process to ensure separation between servers and backups.
Online backup is much more efficient and more effective than the traditional approach of creating tapes for a third party to pick up and store. Use our off-site service to back up the servers in your offices or data center. If you are a collocation or server customer of Hostway, we can collect and house your backups in a separate data center facility, providing you full peace of mind that your critical data is secure and accessible.
Off-Site Backup Protection
To maximize access to backup files, you can create the backups on-site and mirror them to an off-site electronic backup site. In the event of a failure, backup files are available immediately from the local server with no network latency. In the event of a fire or natural disaster that makes on-site data unavailable, the mirrored backup file can be restored to alternative physical or virtual facilities to get you up and running in a minimal amount of time.
Remote Site Mirrored Backup
Note that the above Remote Site Mirrored Backup requires a separate license for the onsite backup server. Contact our sales department for assistance in configuring a custom data protection and recovery solution to fit your specific situation.
CDP Center
Some applications dictate a more flexible, customized approach to data protection and restoration. For customers requiring backup on several servers, larger amounts of storage, data isolated from other users or more control over the administration of backup processes, Hostway offers the Continuous Data Protection Center. It’s a dedicated server and storage solution that provides complete control over backup schedules and retention policies, access control and Web-based file or machine restore.

| 500 GB | $25 | $220 |

Hostway has partnered with R1Soft to offer the only Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solution for Linux server backups. R1Soft’s CDP is a solution that enables disk-based data protection, Linux and Windows disaster recovery and Bare-Metal Restore for servers and workstations running Linux and Windows operating systems.
Benefits of the R1Soft CDP Solution include:
Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery
Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is no need to first partition your drive and install the operating system.
High-Performance
Sector-based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.
Small Backup Windows
Only changed disk sectors are copied between backups. Incremental backups can now be completed in minutes.
Open File Backups
R1Soft's backup solution includes built-in support for backing up open files. No third party software is required.
Snapshots
Our technology provides consistent point-in-time, system-wide backup images.
Near-Continuous Backups
During normal host operation, the R1Soft CDP Agent keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know which sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. This eliminates the need for file-by-file or block-by-block comparisons every backup.
Designed with Resellers in Mind
Delegate control to different administrators on a server-by-server basis.
Remote Administration
Software can be completely controlled offsite using a Web-based interface.
Compression
Incremental sector-based backups ignore unused portions of the disk and copy only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup. When used with traditional compression, this reduces backup storage by as much as 90% compared to a traditional system-wide, file-by-file backup.
End-to-end Strong Encryption
Data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission using RSA keys. Decryption during a restore is only possible when the encryption key holder enters their pass phrase.
Data Integrity
During backup and restore, data is verified using MD5 checksums.
The CDP Center can be utilized to backup your existing Hostway dedicated or collocated servers or to provide off-site backup to servers in your office, data center or third party location.
Remote Site Protection and Recovery
The server location can be optionally configured to provide an additional level of protection by separating the backup servers and disk storage from your core production servers.

Backup Arrays
A dependable storage solution is the key to your continued success. As your critical data inevitably grows, dedicated storage frees up space on your primary server — especially if you share data across locations or have images, streaming video or backup files — and protects you from accidental data loss.
Hostway offers a range of customizable storage solutions designed to fit your exact needs—from entry-level to advanced. We house your data in our disaster recovery-ready, ultra secure data centers across the globe. You get a dependable, highly available and completely scalable storage environment for your critical data.
Tape Backup Units
In addition to online backup solutions, Hostway offers a full range of Tape Drives, Autoloaders, and Library units in media ranges of DAT, DLT/SDLT or LTO.
Tape backup units allow you to maximize your rack-based storage backup within a rack-mountable chassis. The units’ expandable architecture and magazine design make management and replacement quick and easy. These features also help provide cost-effective scale capacity to meet future backup and recovery demands.
All units deliver reliable backup through remote management using any Web-based browser while featuring seamless integration into diverse operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Netware and Linux.
