Proxmox backup · in depth

What separates a real backup from a false safety net

Most backups fail silently — and you only find out on restore day. Here, in detail, is how we make yours genuinely reliable.

The real test of a backup

A backup is only worth the restore it enables

Copying data — everyone does that. Guaranteeing it’s intact, complete and actually restorable on the day — almost no one. That’s where we put our energy: monitoring, verifying and proving, every day, that your backups will keep their promise.

01
The foundation

A managed Proxmox Backup Server, encrypted and immutable

You plug any Proxmox VE host into our datastore; we operate the rest. Your backups arrive encrypted, deduplicated and laid on object storage built to lose nothing.

End-to-end encryption

Your backups are encrypted before they leave your host and stay encrypted at rest. No one — not even us — reads your data.

Deduplication + compression

Only genuinely new blocks are kept. You retain weeks of history for a fraction of the raw size, and pay only for the space used.

Ransomware-proof immutability

With Object Lock, each backup is locked for the chosen window: impossible to alter or delete — not ransomware, not a compromised account, not us.

99.99% availability · 11 nines durability

Object storage targets 99.99% availability and 99.999999999% durability: the odds of losing a restore point are minuscule.

The watch

We watch your backups for you — every day

The classic trap: you set up a backup, it runs… then one day it stops without a sound. You only notice the day you need it. We close that blind spot.

Missed-backup alert

We know the expected cadence of each machine. The moment a scheduled backup doesn’t arrive in time, you’re notified — not in three weeks, today.

The causes of a silent failure

A crashed agent, expired credentials, a full disk, a task disabled “temporarily”, a drifted schedule: all silent — until the incident.

Daily verification of EVERY backup

A backup that exists isn’t a backup that works: block corruption, incomplete transfer, bit rot. We re-read and validate the integrity of every restore point, every day.

A bar few solutions meet

Verifying all backups, every day, is resource-heavy — most tools settle for a sample or an occasional check. We do it across the board, per machine.

03
The ultimate proof

Real restore testing — the holy grail of backup

Verification proves the data is intact. Restore testing proves the machine actually boots and your services come back up. It’s what almost no one does, because it’s operationally demanding — we do it for you.

We actually boot your VMs

In an isolated environment, we restore and start your machines from the backups — not a simulation, a real boot.

We validate everything comes up

The VM starts, the OS loads, key services respond. You get concrete proof the restore works.

Certified tier: scheduled tests + report

We schedule these tests at regular intervals and hand you a dated report — enough to reassure management, an auditor or your cyber-insurer.

Easy to live with

A clear cost, full control, sovereignty by default

All this robustness shouldn’t mean complexity or a surprise bill. The model is deliberately simple.

Self-service capacity

Adjust your volume whenever you want, with no interruption. Billing follows pro rata, by the day.

Billed per TB, no egress

You pay for provisioned space, per TB. No egress fees, no surprises — restoring costs nothing extra.

Sovereign by default

Encrypted, deduplicated and hosted in Canada, in Toronto (Ontario) — Law 25 compliant, outside the Cloud Act.

See it for yourself

A live demo: browse a restored VM

The best argument is proof. On request, we restore a machine from a backup and hand you the keyboard: for about twenty minutes, you navigate the restored VM’s console yourself — open files, launch applications, check everything is there. That’s when it clicks, viscerally, that “restorable” is no longer just a promise.

  • A genuinely restored VM, not a screenshot.
  • You take the console for ~20 minutes.
  • You check your own files and applications.
