Continuous Backups
It happens. Sooner or later, someone deletes something they shouldn't. Then, panic sets in across the team as all normal work grinds to a halt.
Where's the backup server? Who has
SSH access to box? Who has the S3 credentials? Who
even knows the restore procedure? What? Bob's on
vacation?!
... did we even turn backups back on
after that last server upgrade?
Continuous backups make the inevitable much less painful. Every Database Labs database is continuously backed up offsite via WAL shipping. We can rewind your database to any point in time. Disasters suddenly aren't.
Continuous Backups
Every database operation is automatically backed
up as it happens
with WAL logging. This allows us to
perform Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) — to restore
the database as it was at any moment in the past by replaying
these logs.
Fully Managed
Backups are fully managed, tested, and monitored by
us. You can spend your time writing your app rather than
learning to be a database administrator.
Offsite Backups
Backups are stored in Amazon S3, which is physically
remote from DigitalOcean's data centers. In the
event of a total data center failure, we will simply
recreate your database somewhere else.
