Amazon S3 is a reliable industry standard cloud storage which provides triple replications across different continents and AES-256 encryption at rest.

The service, code named ‘time machine’, is an initiative after a recent new about a well-known web hosting provider deleted all customer websites after a typo in their maintenance script. The incident proved local backups are not enough to protect customer’s valuable data. Even offsite backup of the same company also may not be secure as maintenance script can easily propagate to backup servers too. S3 on the other hand, with versioning enabled, even when the data is deleted, can be easily recovered to any previous versions. Company’s customers can use ‘time machine’ to ‘go back in time’ and restore their website to any previous version with one year retention. User’s website data is backup weekly to S3 with lifetime of one year.

The use of AWS S3 for website backups also allow the service to restore customer websites to any firm’s server on any continent, in case the original server or the datacenter of the original server is down.

Normally web hosting providers offer no backup or only one nightly backup due to the high cost of backups. The company take customer’s data integrity as first priority.

We are excited to be one of the first to provide Amazon S3 cloud backup to our customers and do it for free, and to have a retention of one year, because we know how important those website data are to businesses. We chose Amazon S3 because so Amazon is the industry leader in cloud storage and they have a very matured and reliable cloud infrastructure.” said spokesperson, LayerOnline.
