(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Partnering with data protection, open file backups, bare-metal disaster recovery provider R1Soft (www.r1soft.com), UK-based web hosting provider Pipe Ten (www.pipeten.com) is now offering free backups on all their shared hosting plans using R1Soft’s Near Continuous Data Protection solution.
According to Pipe Ten’s Monday announcement, its use of R1Soft’s CDP solution provides customers full server imaging using a combination of full OS disk imaging and incremental data imaging and will even backup open and locked files, allowing quick data restoration on a per-file or per-database level through to a full bare-metal disk/server restore.
“Data security is obviously a key issue for all businesses these days,” Pipe Ten technical director Carl Heaton said in a statement. “The implementation of R1Soft’s Near Continuous Data Protection solution is a great move for us as it allows us to have the flexibility of being able to quickly restore individual files for customers as well as having a current and complete image backup of the servers for disaster recovery purposes. We’ve seen a sizable reduction in backup load and completion time which has enabled us to increase frequency without impacting customers performance.”
Founded in 2002, Pipe Ten offers feature Windows and Linux shared and dedicated hosting services to customers worldwide.
In other customer backup news, earlier in March, web hosting and managed IT service provider MaximumASP (www.maximumasp.com) launched a new disaster recovery service for dedicated server and enterprise customers using Symantec’s recovery solution, offering automated, secure backup and web-based data recovery to protect critical data against hardware failure, data corruption or natural disaster.
