Remote Backup
Remote backup needs vary widely depending on how your servers, NAS devices, and applications store and update data. Because of this, we treat backup planning as a small technical project rather than a prepackaged service. Our role is to review your environment, understand how your data changes, and design a practical rsync-based offsite workflow that fits how you operate.
What This Engagement Covers
We evaluate your current storage layout, data locations, and update patterns, then design a remote backup workflow that fits your infrastructure. The goal is a reliable, repeatable rsync-based process that is easy for you to maintain and easy to recover from.
Environment We Can Work With
- Linux or Windows servers
- Databases and application data
- Existing NAS systems (or ones we design)
- File servers and shared directories
- VM exports or directory-level backups
What We Deliver
- A tailored rsync-over-SSH workflow
- Backup frequency planning
- Retention and versioning structure
- Directory mapping and storage layout
- Clear restore procedures
How We Scope the Work
To define your backup workflow, we need to understand:
- How your data is organized
- How frequently it changes
- How much past history you need retained
- Where the data currently lives (server, NAS, mixed)
- Your expectations for restore time
Once this is clear, we design and document the workflow before implementation.

Backup and Recovery Scoping — $149
Bring what you need protected and how fast you need it back. We tell you what the backup workflow looks like and what it will cost to run.
What you get back
- What actually needs protecting, separated from what does not
- How often it has to run and how long each copy has to be kept
- Whether rsync, Proxmox Backup Server, or Microsoft 365 backup is the right tool for each dataset
- A written scope and monthly cost range before you commit to anything
Turnaround 45 minutes, scheduled. If you go ahead with the work it recommends, the fee is credited against it in full.
