Longer history for busy or growing sites - 365-Day (12-Month) Backup

Each level gives you more flexibility and a wider recovery window, depending on your needs.
Database Backup (High-Activity Websites)
For websites that change frequently, such as online stores, portals, or applications, Hipposerve offers an optional 72-hour rolling database backup.
This captures frequent changes to your database, ensuring more precise recovery for high-transaction environments where every update matters.
Disaster Recovery
In addition to standard backups, Hipposerve® Rewind also offers Disaster Recovery for VPS, Business One, and dedicated servers.
While backups restore files or data, disaster recovery restores your entire server environment using full snapshots retained for 48 hours. This allows you to recover quickly in the event of a major failure.
Prerequisites

Important points to note
- Automated and unmanaged:
Backups run automatically but are not actively monitored per account - Customer responsibility:
You should regularly check backups and perform test restores where appropriate - Independent backups:
Critical data should always be backed up independently as part of a wider strategy - Performance considerations:
We recommend not running additional automated backup plugins, as they may impact performance and storage usage
Backup Disclaimer
Please note: While Hipposerve® Rewind is designed to operate reliably, backups are automated and unmanaged.
Hipposerve does not guarantee the availability, completeness, or recoverability of backups in all circumstances.
Backups should not be relied upon as the sole method of data protection. We strongly recommend maintaining independent copies of any critical data.
