Cloud Backup — FAQs

What types of backups can Cloud Backup create?

With Cloud Backup, you can create both full and incremental backups as well as full image backups, file copies, and disk copies.

How do incremental backups and full backups differ?

Incremental backups first establish which data's changed since the last backup. This data is then saved and overwrites the previous version. Any data that wasn't changed is still saved. This type of backup typically requires less storage than a full backup.

A full backup is a complete backup. In other words, all data is backed up, whether it's been updated since the last backup or not.

Cloud backup or cloud storage? Which is right for me?

With cloud storage, only data of various types is stored. In principle, this is the same as saving important documents, media files, etc. on an external hard disk. However, unlike an external hard drive, the cloud can be accessed wherever you are using the internet.

In addition, using the cloud for backups means that it's not only files that can be backed up, but also complete system statuses in different versions. This means it's possible to reset a server to a previously secured system status at any time after there's been a security issue or an IT system malfunction. This allows you to quickly restore to a secure and stable operating state.

What kind of backup routine makes the most sense?

The best kind of backup routine depends on your needs, such as how you work and which processes you want or need to map. When you use Cloud Backup, you aren't limited to just one backup type, but are free to change and combine options.

For many users, performing a full backup once a week is enough. Others prefer to carry out incremental backups on a weekly basis. A software development company or users with high data volumes often need to create daily backups. This way, every backup — going back weeks — is available, so that old systems or development stages can be quickly restored at any time.

Will I have latency during a backup?

No, you won't experience any noticeable latency (delays in the signal run times) in your IT infrastructure during data transmission, intermediate storage, or data packet testing. Of course, it will take a little longer, if you're located in the US trying to create a 100 GB backup in a European data center. However, your IT infrastructure will continue to work latency-free.

What advantages does cloud backup have over local backups?

Local backups such as those on external hard drives or desktop PCs are at higher risk of being lost, damaged, or even destroyed by accidents or environmental factors. Backing up your data with georedundant structures and state-of-the-art technology, you can virtually eliminate risks like these and ensure that your data stays safe.

And unlike local storage, your data is always available in the cloud. As long as there is an internet connection, you can conveniently access your data no matter where you are.

Where are the IONOS backup servers located?

You can choose between ISO-certified backup servers in the United States or Europe.

What are the differences between the standard and Flex plans?

Choosing a standard plan means you'll pay for a certain level of features and a set amount of storage. As long as you don't exceed the plan's storage limits, you'll pay the same monthly fee every month.

If you go with a Flex plan, you'll only pay for the amount of data you back up. You can also add advanced security, management, and backup features. You'll pay a set price per month for each device that you add advanced features to.

How do I change Cloud Backup plans?

Once you've purchased the product you can change plans anytime in your account. If you've chosen the Flex plan, you can add or remove storage and features as you need them.

Can I back up and restore my entire infrastructure, including apps?

You can back up and recover any server, workstation, or mobile device with Cloud Backup.
