Remote Backup (Rsync Offsite)
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.
