We host a lot of websites for our clients in various data centres around the world. These of course have state-of-the-art backup systems in place ensuring vital information can be restored in the case of earthquake, fire, civilian uprising or (behold) an act of God.
However we wanted more granularity and control over when and how our client’s data could be restored. A truck crashing into our server racks might be covered, but how easy would it be to rollback the data to this-time-yesterday if valuable content was accidentally deleted or that last “about us” paragraph erroneously edited via the CMS was actually a lot better.
We decided to work on a solution and in the summer of 2008 launched our Milkmaid Backup technology. The system automatically mirrors and safeguards our client’s data allowing non-fatal, but annoying mistakes to be reversed.
It’s currently in its infancy, but we hope to eventually integrate the service into our Casein CMS giving clients complete control (think Apple Time Machine, but for websites).
If you have a website solution with us, then your data is now just a little bit safer!
