BEFORE PROBLEMS HAPPEN

Backups and a recovery plan,
before you need them.

Most of the emergencies we fix would have been a quick restore with a recent, off-site backup. Set it up once, have it tested, and know exactly what happens if the worst happens.

When this happensNo backup, no planBackups + recovery plan
Site gets hackedClean it by hand or rebuild itRestore the last clean copy, then close the hole
An update breaks the siteTroubleshoot while it's downRoll back in minutes, fix it calmly
Host suspends or closes the accountFiles and database may be goneBring it up on a new host from the off-site copy
Someone deletes a mailbox or folderOften gone once the provider's retention endsRestore the mailbox, file or folder

Three options, from backups to a full recovery plan

Priced by the size of your site and how many mailboxes you have. Every option starts with a free backup check of what's protected today.

Backup Services

Website Backup

Automated daily backups of your website files and database, stored off-site and separate from your host.

  • Daily backups, 30 days of restore points
  • Stored off-site, away from your hosting account
  • Monthly test restore, so we know it works
  • Restores included when something breaks

Disaster Recovery Services

Disaster Recovery Plan

A written, tested plan for getting your website, email and domain back when something big goes wrong.

  • Every login, domain, DNS record and host documented
  • Agreed recovery targets (RPO and RTO, below)
  • A standby copy ready to switch to
  • A recovery drill twice a year, and priority restores

Two numbers every recovery plan agrees on

RPO · Recovery Point Objective

How much recent work you can afford to lose. Daily backups mean an RPO of up to 24 hours. A busy online store may need hourly.

RTO · Recovery Time Objective

How quickly you need to be back online. A standby copy and documented logins are what bring this from days down to hours.

Common questions

My host says they back up my site. Isn't that enough?

Host backups are often stored on the same servers as your site, kept for a short time, and sometimes charged to restore. If the hosting account is suspended or compromised, those backups can go with it. Off-site backups you control don't.

Doesn't Virtual.Support Care already include backups?

Care includes routine website backups. Backup Services add longer off-site retention, monthly test restores and email backups. A Disaster Recovery Plan adds the documentation, standby copy and drills.

We just had a problem fixed. Is now a good time?

Yes. Right after a fix, the site is clean and we already know how it's set up, so your first backup is a known-good copy.

What is a backup check?

A free look at what's backed up today: website, database, email and domain records, where the copies live, and when a restore was last tested. You get a short list of gaps and a quote to close them.
