Guardian Backup by XeonBD

We are very glad to introduce our latest backup service which have been LIVE for you already. In the following para you will be shortly briefed about our Guardian backup solution.

Guardian backup is a fully managed robust backup solution that provides continuous data protection and off-site disaster recovery for your own hosting. Guardian backup uses replication and synchronization, with point-in-time snap shots, to provide up to the minute data protection of your complete server configuration. Guardian directly reads your hard disk volumes at the sector level, bypassing the file system for the ultimate in performance and recovery. Our disk sector synchronization is performed while the server is online and causes no interruption to I/O requests, even on a busy hour. By reading the disk at the lowest possible level, Guardian captures incremental recovery images containing your files and all the required information for complete disaster recovery.

Guardian Backup Features

  • Continuous Backups During normal host operation, the Guardian agent keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. Guardian's method is less resource intensive than tradition file-by-file or block-by-block backup methods.
  • Incremental Snapshots Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.
  • 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. Bare-Metal-Recovery greatly increases the speed of complete system recovery from a catastrophic failure.
  • High Performance, Low System Impact 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 hour.

For your more clarification like to include that at a point each day a full backup is taken, that backup is updated each hour after that until the same time the next day, at which point it is archived as the final daily backup for that day, there are seven days retained. The daily service also includes 4 weekly backups and 3 monthly backups being archived. So if you want to restore your site in a previous point to recover any disaster you can submit a ticket to us. Currently Guardian backup only supporting all the Linux shared hosting account.

If you still have any confusion regarding this service please open a ticket from your client area under sales department and our representative will get back to you to meet your thirst.
