Backup & Data Protection

Managed Online Backup (BackupNOW)

Plan-b's managed online backup service (BackupNOW) automatically de-duplicates and backs up your data online, giving you a secure, cost-effective and fully-managed online backup service.

Automated Offsite Backup:

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

Deduplicated Data = Reduced Data Transmission Costs:

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 which reduces the amount of data to be transmitted to the bare minimum, saving time and communication costs.

Restore Data Quickly:

We can restore all of your servers concurrently, which cuts the restore timeframe of multiple servers to a fraction of what it would otherwise be.

No Capital Investment & Cost-Efficient Storage:

Our online backup service requires no capital investment in backup systems or infrastructure and 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 data backup.

Dedicated Provider:

Using Plan-b's managed online backup service gives you the peace of mind that your offsite backup is securely managed by a professional, New Zealand-based organisation who are fully dedicated to backup and recovery services.
