Backup Setup
Updated: 2026-05-31
from from $50 USD · per project
I’ll set up automated backups following the 3-2-1 strategy: three copies of data, on two different storage types, one off-site.
Backups are encrypted, uploaded to cloud storage, and rotated automatically. Problems trigger a Telegram notification.
Most data loss incidents aren’t caused by hackers — they happen because there was no proper backup in place. This is cheaper to fix in advance.
