Your mission critical data should be backed up to a different platform than the one the mission itself runs on.
This is difficult, since most cloud storage providers are just reselling Amazon storage. Luckily, we built our own cloud.
With different geographic locations than Amazon AWS, rsync.net allows you to complete your disaster recovery plan.
Immediate Integration With Any EC2 Instance
Integration is literally minutes away, with no software installation necessary, as most EC2 instances already have rsync installed.
Unlike S3/Glacier/Nearline, rsync.net provides a standard filesystem that can be accessed with any tool that runs over SSH:
- rsync over SSH (with passwords or SSH keys)
- pipeline mysqldump or pg_dump through 'dd' over SSH
- mount from anywhere with sshFS/FUSE
- import/export with s3cmd on our systems
Our ZFS platform creates and maintains free daily snapshots of your account.(*)
For more detailed use cases, see our UNIX Integration page and our Remote Commands page
Unlimited Support
Remember: you will never talk to anyone at Amazon. Ever.
At rsync.net, like all of the customers we have served since 2001, you will receive unlimited support for any use of our product.
In fact, 1TB and 10TB packages include 24/7 hotline support - you can pick up the phone and talk to a real engineer, ANY TIME.
When you configure your instance to point to our offsite storage, you retain all of the sophisticated features of our platform, such as:
- Daily, weekly and monthly snapshots (or versions) of your data
- Bandwidth efficient "changes only" backups
- Deduplication
- Access with git, svn, s3cmd, sftp, etc.
Our engineers have been helping customers with AWS instances and S3 for years, and have compiled an extensive knowledge base, which leads to fast, accurate troubleshooting.
The rsync.net Advantage
For over 10 years, thousands of customers have enjoyed our "Open Standards, Common Sense" approach to offsite backup.
We are NOT reselling or rebranding any other service. We built and maintain our own infrastructure and have complete control over our platform.
You will receive unlimited, free technical support, over phone and email, for any use you make of our product.
Further, you will enjoy our comprehensive HIPAA/HITECH, Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI compliance, as well as SAS 70 Type II facilities (US Only).
Finally, you will have a partner in your contingency planning, with a phone number to call when things go wrong.
