Off Site Data Backup

We specialize in off site data backup. Off site data backup is by far the best way to ensure your data will be available in the event of any form of data loss.
If your data was gone today?



Would you still be in business tomorrow?
Some interesting facts:

  • A hard drive crash occurs every 15 seconds.
  • 32% of data loss is caused by human error.
  • 31% of PC users have lost all of their files to events beyond their control.
  • 1 in 5 computers suffer a fatal hard drive crash during their lifetime.
  • The average overall failure rate of disk and tape drives is 100% - All drives eventually fail.
  • 40 to 50% of all backups are not fully recoverable and up to 60% of all backups fail in general.
  • 60% of companies that lose their data close down within 6 months of the disaster.

    Automated Data Backup Prices
    Starts at $5 a month

    Basic prices for automated off site data backup are based on LNX Hosting retaining the latest 10, 30 or more backup copies per month. By default, our system will run once a day at the time you set it to run. After it has completed the number of pre set full backups, it will remove the oldest from the backup server after the next backup has been completed. The number of backup sets to keep can be changed.

    The prices listed below are based on 10 backup copies.

    Policies and Security

    New Accounts - When a new account is created, the user is forced to use a generated password. This is done for security reasons. These passwords are checked for upper and lower case letters, numbers, dictionary words and the number of characters. If the generated password fails, another is generated. Only the passwords that pass these checks are displayed as options for new accounts.

    Client Authentication - Client authentication is done via SSL so user names and passwords are not sent plain text.

    Data Transfer - Data transferred to the server is done via SSL. This is done to protect user information from being seen while it is in transit.

    Data Storage - Users data is stored in their home directory. Other users are locked in to their own home directory so they are not able to view other users data. The file system used to store the users data is set to not allow any execution of files.

    Data Retrieval - At this time data can be retrieved from our web site in the client area. The connection uses SSL.

    Canceled Accounts - Accounts that are canceled by the user will have no less than 5 days to retrieve their files but will not be able to backup any more data. Accounts that are canceled by LNX Hosting LLC may have the data removed at the same time the account is removed depending on the nature of the cancellation. Please see our "Terms of Use" page.

    Other / Security - All of our backup servers use Linux with RAID.

    Reliability Measures

    Multiple Backbone Providers
    RAID Disk Configuration
    UPS Power Backup
    On and Off Site 24hr Monitoring
    Fail-Over Support

    Backbone Provider = A large network that routs high-speed traffic to smaller networks. Not the same as an ISP for individual users. A backbone provider supplies access to these high-speed connections to internet service providers (ISP) so they can supply internet access to their users.
    RAID 1 = Redundant Array of Independent or Inexpensive Disks. Raid 1 is 2 or more drives that mirror each other in case one fails. If one drive fails the other(s) continue as if nothing happened. No data is lost.
    UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply. If the power at the data center fails, the servers are switched to backup power.
    Fail-Over = A system that tries to pick up where another has failed. In our case, if a web server fails to the point it can not run, it will go in to "fail over mode". The web server will be back online within minutes.
