Backups

Who has never deleted or overwritten a file? Lost data because of a computer crash? Hours of work in a project and everything went away... Files stored on our servers are backed up on a daily basis and we offer you an easy way to access them. You can even register your laptop to be backed up by us. Read on to prevent a lot of headache in the next disaster.

Even though our servers are equipped with Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID), data may be damaged in case of a hardware blackout, break-in or human error. To prevent actual data loss in these emergency situations, all data on our servers is backed up to a second set of servers.

Depending on OS and hardware requirements, we use our in-house development BaNG (based on rsync, for server backups), BackupBox (based on restic, for laptops), or BackupPC (for lab/measurement PCs) to perform the backups.
