Your data safe — stored in Germany
Automatic backups, geo-redundant storage in German data centers, and fast recovery when it matters.
Anonymized Reference CaseMedical Practice & MVZ · Frankfurt, 12 employees+
Initial Situation
Patient data backed up locally only, no off-site backup, backup never tested, missing GDPR documentation.
Solution & Result
Automatic daily backup to geo-redundant German data centers, AES-256 encryption, monthly restore tests.
GDPR compliance established, quarterly restore test passed, DPA with data center signed, practice-specific retention periods implemented.
A backup without a test is not a backup — it is hope
- Studies show 60% of all backups fail during recovery — due to damaged media, outdated software, or never-tested processes
- Local backups are worthless against ransomware, fire, or break-in — attackers also encrypt the connected backup drive
- GDPR Art. 32 explicitly requires regular data backups and recovery tests — without evidence, fines are at risk
Automated, tested, GDPR-compliant backup in German data centers
- 3-2-1 backup: original + local copy + geo-redundant off-site copy in a German data center
- Immutable backups: cannot be deleted by ransomware, not reachable via network access — even with compromised admin accounts
- Monthly restore test with signed protocol — you know your backup works before you need it
Scope of Services
What Data Backup does for you
Automated Backups
Fully automatic daily, weekly, and monthly data backups with no manual effort.
German Data Centers
Geo-redundant storage in at least two German data centers — maximum data sovereignty.
Encryption
AES-256 encryption of all backup data in transit and at rest.
Fast Recovery
Granular restore of individual files or complete systems — in minutes, not hours.
Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of all backup jobs with immediate notification on failures.
Compliance Reports
Automatically generated evidence for GDPR and NIS2 compliance audits.
Our Approach
How we work
Analysis
Assessment of all systems to be backed up, data volumes, and RTO/RPO requirements.
Backup Concept
Development of a 3-2-1 backup strategy with technology selection and retention periods.
Implementation
Setup of the backup solution with automation, encryption, and monitoring.
Ongoing Operations
Regular restore tests, monitoring, and adjustment to growing data volumes.
After the restore test we discovered: the old backup had been silently failing for 6 months — we would have lost everything in a ransomware attack. Clouderio found and fixed the problem before it became a crisis.

Immutable Backups
The backup nobody can delete
Immutable backups are locked after writing — not by software, not by admin accounts, not by ransomware.
60% of all backups fail in an emergency
Damaged media, outdated restore software, or untested processes. We perform monthly restore tests and deliver a signed report — so you know it works before you need it.
We review your current backup status for free — including GDPR check
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Data Backup at a glance.
01What does professional data backup cost?+
For SMBs with typical data volumes (500 GB – 5 TB) we estimate €150–500/month for complete backup incl. monitoring and restore tests. One-time setup from €800. Binding quote after free assessment.
02Does my data stay in Germany?+
Always. We back up exclusively to German data centers (Hetzner Nuremberg/Falkenstein, IONOS Karlsruhe/Berlin, Azure Frankfurt). Your data never leaves the EU. DPA and GDPR documentation are provided in full.
03How often are backups taken?+
By default: critical data hourly, servers daily, full system images weekly. We adjust the frequency to your RPO (Recovery Point Objective) — i.e. how much data loss you can afford at most.
04What are immutable backups and why do I need them?+
Immutable backups cannot be modified or deleted after being written — not even by administrator accounts. Ransomware typically encrypts all reachable drives including connected backup drives. Immutable backups are unaffected — clean recovery is guaranteed.
05How is recovery tested?+
Monthly we fully restore a backup VM and measure the RTO (Recovery Time Objective). You receive a signed restore protocol with date, timestamp, and measured recovery time. No green checkmark in software — real VM recovery.
06Which systems can be backed up?+
Windows Server, Linux, VMware/Hyper-V VMs, Microsoft 365 (email, SharePoint, Teams), databases (SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL), and NAS systems. We create a complete backup concept for your entire IT landscape.
