It’s World Backup Day! How do we protect your data?

Today is World Backup Day! If you’re not backing up your own computer and devices, today’s the perfect day to start doing it; that page has advice.

Do you ever wonder how companies like ours handle backups? It’s a good question. Our customers trust us with lots of data — email, websites, and more. It’s important that we keep that data (and our own data) safe. We do that with a 4-3-2-1 backup policy:

  • There are always at least 4 copies of the data;
  • The data is stored on at least 3 different physical servers;
  • The servers are in at least 2 separate physical locations;
  • At least 1 copy of the data is always physically disconnected from power and the Internet (“air gapped”).

Customers should not notice any changes, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.
