Backup & Disaster
Recovery
Find out how we take care of our customers' data security on a daily basis with proven and effective backup and disaster recovery procedures.
From beyond fifteen years, Managed Server Srl is actively committed to ensuring that the data security and availability of its customers are treated as top priorities. We are fully aware that the data managed is not simple technical information, but represents a strategic asset which reflects the trust, work and identity of every organization that chooses us as a technological partner.
By virtue of this awareness, we have defined and adopted strict company policies aimed at protecting not only the infrastructure, but above all data integrity and security hosted at our data centers. Below, we present the founding principles of our Backup & Disaster Recovery strategy, designed to ensure business continuity, resilience and reliability in every scenario.

Server with Mirrored Storage
All servers rented by Managed Server Srl are configured with solutions of RAID1 redundancy, an essential infrastructural choice to ensure business continuity and prevent downtime resulting from hardware failures, such as disk failures SATA, SSD or NVMe.
the configuration RAID1 provides that each data is duplicated in real time on two physically separate disks. This approach not only ensures a greater data resilience, but also helps improve the overall performance of the system: reading operations can in fact occur in parallel from both disks, distributing the load and optimizing response times.
In certain contexts, where required by specific needs for flexibility or control, we also adopt solutions mirroring with OpenZFS, which offer advanced features of data integrity, snapshots and auto-healing, particularly suitable for mission-critical environments.

Double copy backup on geographic SAN
Managed Server Srl adopts highly structured daily backup procedure, based on two Independent Storage Area Networks (SANs), located respectively in Germany e Finland. Both infrastructures are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring maximum protection of the archived information.
Backups are managed through two distinct class software technologies Enterprise: Deposit e ResticThe use of heterogeneous systems represents a strategic choice, aimed at reduce the risk of vulnerabilities or malfunctions related to specific software bugs, and to ensure greater resilience over time.
Both solutions support Compressed and incremental backups based on the compression algorithm ZSTD (Zstandard), which allows you to optimize the storage space and reduce the Transfer times, maintaining high standards of efficiency and reliability.

Encrypted Backups Append Only
Within our solutions of Backup & Disaster Recovery, we pay particular attention to the data security and integrity, adopting backup systems encrypted in “Append Only” modeThis approach ensures that once written, data cannot be modified or deleted, thus protecting the entire backup lifecycle from any manipulation.
La Encryption is implemented on two levels: at the level of storage, to protect data at rest, and during transfer, thanks to advanced techniques of public key encryption and compression. In this way, the data is encrypted before leaving the server and remain protected for the entire duration of transmission and storage, being accessible only to authorized recipients.
The mode “Append Only” It is particularly effective in scenarios of data breach. In case an attacker gains access to the system, he will not be able to alter, overwrite or delete existing backups. This ensures that a immutable data history and complete recovery to a previous safe state, even in the presence of malicious activity.
Our strategy is designed to deliver the maximum level of protection, integrity and resilience, proactively protecting the critical business data against any external attempt to manipulation or compromise.

Redundant Geographic SANs in RAID 6 on FS XFS
Le Storage Area Network (SAN) adopted by Managed Server Srl form the backbone of our backup architecture. Based on systems Linux Enterprise, as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), are configured with four disks in RAID 6, allowing the Multiple fault tolerance without data loss.
This configuration ensures operational continuity even in critical scenarios, avoiding disruptions and protecting data from potential disaster situations. To support this resilience, we use the XFS file system, chosen for its high performance, scalability and ability to maintain thedata integrity even under intensive loads.
To further strengthen the safety and redundancy, each SAN adopts independent backup technologies, minimizing the risk that software vulnerabilities could compromise both drives. This strategy significantly reduces the likelihood of total data loss, offering our customers reliability, advanced protection and maximum peace of mind.

60-day Data Retention
La data retention policy di Managed Server Srl provides for the retention of backups for a minimum period of 60 days. This time window not only complies with current data retention regulations, but also represents a strategic asset for business continuity and corporate risk management.
A extended retention enables companies to restore data in any time during the covered period, offering maximum flexibility and timely intervention in the event of data loss, corruption or compromise. This approach is particularly useful in critical scenarios, where the ability to restore a pre-incident state can avoid prolonged disruptions and significant losses.
Our conservation policy also proves fundamental in the legal and compliance fields. The availability of accessible and verifiable historical data can prove to be decisive in the process of audits, regulatory inspections or legal disputes, supporting corporate transparency and strengthening regulatory compliance.
