Backups as a Service – More Than Just Copies
Backups are more than a cron job.
We make sure your data is backed up regularly, verifiably, and with recovery in mind – including restoration tests, retention policies, and offsite options.
More on the basics:
What exactly is a backup?
Backups – Automated & Managed
Backup of databases and Kubernetes data – with restoration tests and documented retention policies.
- Tailored backup strategy based on data type and system
- Regular recovery verification tests
- Optional offsite backups to avoid lock-in or full loss scenarios
Backups Are an Agreement – Not Just a Feature
Together, we define:
- Which data is backed up and how often
- How long the data should be retained
- How quickly different types of data can be restored
Backup is never generic – we make it understandable and reliable.
Our Components at a Glance
Depending on your setup and needs, we use different backup technologies – fully managed and integrated into your infrastructure.
Velero
- Backup & restore for Kubernetes PersistentVolumes
- Scheduled snapshots stored in S3-compatible backends
- Support for offsite backups – e.g. in different regions or to your preferred provider
Database Backups
- Automated dumps or replication-based backups
- Validity checks through recovery tests
- Granular configuration for each database type (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, etc.)
Offsite Backups? Absolutely.
Whether you're using RiKuWe cloud hosting or running on-premises:
We offer additional offsite backup options such as:
- external S3-compatible providers
- other cloud regions
- infrastructure outside your main production site
This minimizes lock-in risks and protects against total loss scenarios.
Backup Also Means: Recoverability
Backups only help if they work when you need them.
That's why we regularly test recovery – automated and transparently documented.
