Backup & Recovery

Encrypted backup, immutable snapshots, and bare-metal recovery for every server and laptop.

Encrypted offsite backup, immutable snapshots, and tested bare-metal recovery — for every server, laptop, and database your business runs on.

Backup & Recovery illustration showing the core capabilities CloudIP provides for cloud backup.

Most SMB outages are not dramatic — they are mistakes. A deleted folder. An overwritten spreadsheet. A laptop dropped into a coffee. Cloud backup exists so those small events do not turn into business interruptions.

CloudIP runs an agent on every machine you care about, takes content-aware incremental backups in the background, and replicates them across seven US regions automatically. When you need to recover, it is one console, one credentialed step, and one progress bar — not a help-desk ticket.

How it works

Backup & Recovery in three steps

From day one to day one-thousand, this is how the backup & recovery module moves work through your business.

What you get

The backup & recovery pillars

Specifics, not slogans — what each part of Backup & Recovery actually does for the business.

Encrypted from agent to vault

Your data is private from the moment it leaves the device.

  • AES-256 encryption at rest in your dedicated S3-compatible vault
  • TLS 1.3 in transit with authenticated agent sessions
  • Per-tenant keys with documented rotation patterns
  • Role-based access scoped to companies and locations

Snapshots that survive ransomware

Restore points an attacker cannot delete early.

  • Immutable snapshot chains protected by retention locks
  • Point-in-time recovery from any retained snapshot
  • Tiered retention with hot, warm, and cold storage
  • Verification jobs that prove backups can actually restore

Bare-metal and full-system recovery

Rebuild a server overnight on identical or replacement hardware.

  • UrBackup-driven imaging integrated with the platform
  • Restore to original hardware, replacement boxes, or a sandbox
  • LVM and ZFS snapshot integration on Linux
  • Boot media generation for offline disaster scenarios

Replication across seven US regions

A regional outage does not eliminate your only offsite copy.

  • Geo-distributed object storage with automatic replication
  • Configurable data residency within the United States
  • Region-aware routing and latency-optimized transfer
  • Designed for parallel failure domains, not single-site silos

Use cases

Who this is for

Three real situations CloudIP customers bring us, and how the platform answers them.

Office manager at a 30-person professional services firm

A staff member overwrites the wrong client folder before lunch.

Outcome: Restore the previous version in under three minutes from the file index.

IT manager at a manufacturing plant

A failed RAID controller takes down the production file server.

Outcome: Bare-metal restore the file server overnight to replacement hardware.

CTO of an e-commerce merchant

A ransomware crew encrypts the order database and tax records.

Outcome: Roll back to a clean immutable snapshot from before the encryption began.

FAQ

Common questions

Specific answers about Backup & Recovery — not marketing fluff.

Windows Server (2016 onward), Windows 11, Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and macOS. The agent runs as a service on Windows and as a systemd unit on Linux. Headless and unattended installs are supported.

Resilience

Backup that survives the worst day

Backup is the module customers test the hardest, so it gets the strictest resilience profile we ship. Snapshots are immutable at the storage layer, replicated across U.S. regions, and verifiable by the customer at any time.

Object-locked snapshots

Retention is enforced by the storage layer, not by application code, so a compromised admin cannot delete history before it expires.

Cross-region replication

Every snapshot is mirrored to a second U.S. region within minutes of being written.

Restore drills built in

A nightly job restores a randomly chosen tenant’s last hour to a sandbox database and validates a set of invariants.

Eleven nines of durability

Archives sit on R2 with 99.999999999% annual durability, plus a content hash recorded at write time and verified daily.
