On any Server Trafficweb server you can add the Storage & Backups package to expand capacity and protect your data with automated, encrypted, restorable snapshots stored offsite.
The Storage & Backups add-on is something you bolt on to any existing Server Trafficweb plan — your offshore dedicated server, your VPS, your offshore cloud server or even a storage server. In one move you solve the two storage problems every busy server eventually runs into: not enough room, and not enough safety. Disk pressure stops being a quarterly emergency, and a single bad day stops being an existential threat to the business.
On the capacity side, you can add SSD or HDD volumes that scale from a few hundred gigabytes to tens of terabytes. New capacity is attached to your existing box, so databases, logs, media archives and user uploads have room to grow without forcing you to migrate to a new server. You decide whether to mount the new capacity as a separate volume for archives, expand an existing logical volume, or use it as cache space for high-IOPS workloads. With root access you keep full control over how the space is consumed.
On the backup side, you get encrypted, scheduled, restorable snapshots of whatever you choose to protect — whole servers, specific directories, databases or all of the above. Backups are encrypted at the source before they leave the server, transferred over an isolated path and stored on infrastructure that lives in a separate failure domain. That means a fire, drive failure, ransomware incident or fat-finger delete on the primary server cannot also destroy your backups. When something goes wrong, you do not lose hours or days — you lose minutes.
Adding this package is also one of the cheapest insurance policies in offshore hosting. The benefits stack up immediately: you gain ransomware resilience, point-in-time database recovery, compliance-grade retention, capacity headroom, and confidence that a single mistake or hardware fault will not take down your business. Pair it with our Backup Solutions add-on for advanced versioning and test-restore drills, and with Monitoring and Reporting so storage trends and backup success rates always reach your team.
Key Benefits
Add fast SSD volumes for hot data or large HDD arrays for archives. Capacity grows from hundreds of GB to many TB on the same chassis — no migration required.
Set the schedule once — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly — and the system runs without operator intervention, with alerts only when a job actually fails.
Backups are encrypted on the source with strong modern ciphers before they ever leave your server, and stay encrypted in offsite storage end to end.
Backup copies live on isolated infrastructure in a separate failure domain, so a disaster on the primary server cannot destroy your safety net.
Recover a single file in seconds, a database in minutes or a whole server in under an hour. Restore points cover snapshots you actually want to keep.
Keep the last seven daily snapshots, the last twelve months, or a custom mix — perfect for compliance regimes that demand long retention.
For maximum safety, snapshots can replicate between our Netherlands and Ukraine data centres so a regional incident cannot destroy both source and backup.
Run with provider-managed keys for simplicity or your own keys for strict compliance. Either way, encryption is the default — not an afterthought.
Built for real workloads
A ransomware incident becomes a recoverable inconvenience: restore yesterday's clean snapshot and you are back online before negotiations even start.
Roll back a corrupted MySQL or PostgreSQL database to a specific moment after a bad migration, a runaway delete or accidental DROP TABLE.
Meet GDPR, PCI or industry-specific retention windows with timestamped, encrypted snapshots and an audit trail of every restore.
Bolt on capacity when user uploads, video archives or backup catalogues outgrow the primary disk — without rebuilding the host.
Snapshot before every release so a bad deploy is undone in minutes. Pair with CI/CD to automate snapshot-before-deploy as a release-day habit.
Simple. Predictable. Powerful.
Decide how much extra storage you need today, how often backups should run and how long to keep each snapshot. We can advise based on your workload.
New capacity is mounted on your existing offshore server, and backup agents are installed and configured for your stack — without service interruption.
Backups are encrypted at the source and transferred to isolated storage in a separate failure domain, optionally replicated across data centres.
Every snapshot is verified after creation so you know — not hope — that the data is restorable. Failures fire alerts immediately to the right humans.
When you need data back, initiate a restore through support or our portal. Small restores complete in minutes, whole-server restores within the hour.
