Making my data last

Choosing a "small" host can be a source of concern:
➡️ What happens if the company closes tomorrow?
➡️ Or what if LRob's founder suffers a serious accident?

In reality, this question with any hosting providerlarge or small.
Because no player is infallible, and anything can happen to any of them. Even the biggest players have experienced fires or massive data loss.

Whatever your hosting solution, you always remain responsible for your backups. Whether at LRob or elsewhere, you are responsible for your data and your backups. We can't stress this enough. You need a disaster recovery plan. You need to plan for the worst, with any hosting provider.

LRob's commitments

At LRobWe do our utmost to ensure that you are not left to fend for yourself:

  • 1 year of outsourced backups is preserved. Even if the datacenter burns down, we'll get back on our feet.
  • Regular follow-up integrity of these backups is ensured.

⚠️ But keep in mind: even outsourced backups can't be guaranteed to be 100 %. And if LRob were to disappear (we're doing everything to avoid it, but it's a common concern), these backups would no longer be accessible to you.

That's why we strongly recommend setting up your own independent back-up copies.

How do you make your backups?

Your control panel Pleskused for all LRob accommodations, offers several solutions:

  • Backup to an external FTP server (NAS, dedicated server, cloud space, etc.).
  • Automatic job scheduling (cron) commands, which can include custom backup commands

Best practices

  • Don't put all your eggs in one basket
  • Use a NAS (at home or at work) to store your backups
  • Subscribe to a small VPS storage solution for your backups
  • Schedule regular backups (daily/weekly, depending on your activity)
  • Spot-check whether your backups can be restored (test = security)

In a nutshell

  • No web host offers an absolute guarantee.
  • LRob supports you with 1 year of outsourced backups.
  • The best safety remains your own regular and outsourced backups.
