Most Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa business owners only think about backups after something has already gone wrong — a bad plugin update, a hacked admin account, a hosting provider going dark. By then it's already too late.
We engineer backups as a first-class part of every website we host: daily automated snapshots, multiple off-site copies, and one-click restoration that's been tested — not just assumed to work.
How Our Backup Process Works
A simple, dependable timeline you can sleep on — every single night.
1. Daily Automated Snapshots
Every 24 hours your full site (files + database) is snapshotted automatically at off-peak hours so visitors never feel a thing.
2. Off-Site Cloud Redundancy
Snapshots are encrypted and replicated to a second cloud region, so a single data centre failure can never wipe you out.
3. 30-Day Rolling Retention
Roll back to any day in the past 30 days — perfect for catching slow-burn issues like a malware infection or a bad edit.
4. One-Click Restoration
Need to revert? Restores complete in minutes, not hours — with a verification check to confirm the site is fully healthy.
Peace of Mind, Concretely
The three failure modes our backups eliminate for Durham Region clients.
Malware & Hacks
Roll back to a clean snapshot from before the infection — bypassing weeks of forensic cleanup.
Accidental Deletions
Staff deleted a page, post or plugin by accident? Restore just that piece without touching the rest of the site.
Server Failures
If hosting hardware fails, your off-site copy spins up on fresh infrastructure — usually inside an hour.
What Sets Our Backups Apart
'We back up nightly' is the bare minimum. Here's what most providers skip.
Encrypted At Rest & In Transit
Every backup is AES-256 encrypted before it leaves your server and stays encrypted in storage.
Quarterly Restore Drills
We actually test restores every quarter — because an untested backup is just a hopeful file.
Independent of Your Host
Backups live outside your hosting account, so even a fully compromised host can't delete them.
Frequently asked questions
Full daily backups by default, with on-demand snapshots before any update, redesign or plugin change. High-traffic e-commerce stores get hourly incremental backups.
30 days of daily snapshots on every plan. Quarterly archives can be kept for 12 months on request — useful for accounting and compliance.
Yes. Granular restores let us roll back individual posts, pages, media files or database tables without affecting the rest of the site.
Yes, this is the most common recovery scenario. We restore from the last known-clean snapshot, patch the vulnerability, rotate credentials, and harden the site so it doesn't happen again — typically within hours.
