Cloud Backup
PeachNet’s Backup service is similar to a traditional backup system, but the target/destination is our offsite datacenter. The backup system is based on Dell Avamar system, which offers source-based de-depulication that greatly reduces wall clock time that it takes for backups to run and significantly reduces traffic over the LAN. But the idea is the same as with traditional systems: You install a backup agent on each host that you wish to backup, and backups are streamed to our backup systems at Information Technology Services (ITS) in Athens. You can login to the backup management system and control various aspects of your backups including the ability to perform self-service restores.
The service leverages technical support through a dedicated team of ITS system administrators.
