We are pleased to announce the official availability of Advanced Backups to our Data Storage and Protection suite of managed services. With the addition of Advanced Backups, we can now offer customers both bare-metal restores (Standard Backup) and off-site backups (Advanced) as a supported product.
This also provides our customers with the ability to utilize our Hosting.com customer portal to perform those restores, which has been a major request over recent months. If you are interested in learning more about our Advanced Backup product, I’d encourage you to visit the landing page for this product that also includes a video demo, which can be found by visiting this page.
