HostV Introduces Server Snapshot Enterprise Data Backup Solution

A division of Cirtex Corp., HostV, in managed Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated servers, introduced its Server Snapshot enterprise data backup solution, powered by R1Soft’s Continuous Data Protection technology. HostV will provide the solution to all new and existing customers at no additional charge.

Server Snapshot automatically backs up each hosting account (including databases and files in the account’s root directory) once daily. The backups are then compressed, encrypted and stored securely in physically separate backup storage servers. Clients can simply contact HostV’s support department to request data from a backup to be restored in case of data loss or emergencies.

"Although we have always provided our customers with integrated data backup, today’s introduction of Server Snapshot, powered by R1Soft, represents a major step forward in providing a more advanced, capable, and versatile solution. We have made a significant financial investment in acquiring and implementing this technology, and believe it will add significant value to our line of hosting services," said John Xie, president of Cirtex Corp., HostV parent company.

Before Thanksgiving, HostV doubled both disk space and backup space for without raising prices. Server Snapshot will provide data backup for the entire disk space allotment for each customer. Each Virtual Private Server (VPS) from HostV also includes RAID-10-based data backup, which physically mirrors data stored within the same server. Server Snapshot provides an additional layer of protection.

VPS Hosting from HostV starts at $39.99/monthly for 50GB of disk space and 1000GB of data transfer. All accounts include full support for video hosting, data backups, and HostV’s premium customer support.

Starting at just $149.99 per month for 300GB of RAID-10 protected disk space and 5000GB of monthly data transfer, HostV’s Hybrid Servers include 24/7 premium technical support and access to data backup space that offers a full mirror of each plan’s disk space allotment.

Clients also receive SSH root access to their servers.
