Plan-b BackupNOW automatically backs up your data via the Internet, giving you reliable data protection.

It removes the need to physically transport data storage media or to manage backups from your side. Your backups are immediately offsite, stored on high-performance, resilient infrastructure based at our secure facility. Clear, timely reports keep you informed of the status of backups.

Before starting to transmit your data, our industry leading de-duplication technology compares your current data to information we already hold. Only the specific data blocks that have changed are updated. This reduces the amount of data to be transmitted to the bare minimum, saving time and communication costs.

Also, you can perform immediate online restores 24/7, using a user-friendly interface. Because we can restore all your servers concurrently, it cuts the restore timeframe of multiple servers to a fraction of what it would be otherwise. BackupNOW supports Plan-b's proven server recovery methods.

Using Plan-b BackupNOW gives you the peace of mind that your backups are securely managed by a professional organisation wholly dedicated to backup and recovery.

Retention periods

Plan-b BackupNOW retains your backup data for the set periods you select.

• Daily backups are kept for 8 or 30 days.
• Weekly backups are kept for 5 weeks.
• Monthly backups are kept for 3 or 12 months.

Cost

Plan-b BackupNOW requires no capital investment and no infrastructure that will age.

Our pricing model is fundamentally different from most others in that it is based on the volume of data you hold at your site, not the accumulated data from each incremental backup. As multiple backups of your data are held, other providers will base your charges on a much higher total volume of data than we do.

Apart from data volume, the main factor that determines your monthly charges is the retention period you choose.
