Online backups

If you are considering moving to a different provider or are selecting one for the first time, we recommend you ask the following questions.

  • Can you tell me where my data will be stored & where a copy is replicated to?
  • Can you remote to my server to fix an issue for us?
  • Can I back up any type and size of file?
  • Can I retain my backups for as long as I want?
  • Am I tied into a contract longer than 30 days?
  • Can I pay for just the data I store?
  • Are there any extra hidden charges to pay?
  • Are all Microsoft agents included free of charge?

Pay-As-You-Go (backing up less than 130GB)

Quick explanation

How we protect your data

We use non-reversible 448-bit encryption on your backups and encrypt all data before it leaves your premises. Backup data cannot be decrypted during transmission to our network, nor can we access it without the backup password.

Once the data arrives on our network, it is stored on our fully redundant and highly available SAN storage platform. Your data is protected by RAID 6 on our SAN and replicated to another facility for added protection.

All data is stored at one of the UK’s leading BlueSquare data centres, see here.

All live backup data is replicated securely to our 2nd facility to maintain durability.

Handling initial large backups or disaster recovery

WorldBackups enables a partner to securely copy encrypted data on a customer’s server to portable media. The media can be sent via courier and synced directly with our network at one of our facilities. This service is essential where large amounts of backed up data or data to be restored cannot be transmitted quickly enough over the internet.
