Backups you know will restore, kept away from your website's server

A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. We take a daily encrypted backup of your website's files and database, keep it where a hacked hosting account cannot delete it, and restore it into a test copy on a schedule so you have proof it works before you need it.

Order online and pay in US dollars. We then contact you to schedule the setup. Not sure yet? Book a 20-minute call.

Why ordinary backups fail when you need them

Most businesses find out their backups do not work on the day they try to restore one. These are the usual reasons.

Your hosting account is hacked

Without it: Backups reachable from the same account can be deleted along with the site

With Tremhost: Your site's server holds no login to the backup storage

Your server or provider fails

Without it: Backups stored with the same provider can go down with it

With Tremhost: A separate copy away from your website's server

You need to restore

Without it: Nobody knows whether the backup is complete until it is too late

With Tremhost: Restores are tested on a schedule and reported to you

A bad update or deleted page

Without it: Last night's backup may already contain the mistake

With Tremhost: Thirty days of history to restore from

How it works

Nothing to install on a Tremhost-hosted site. On another host we need SSH or SFTP and database access.

  • Daily backup

    Files and databases are copied every day and only changes are stored, so backups stay small and fast.

  • Encrypted and out of reach

    Backups are encrypted before they leave your server and kept away from it, collected by our system rather than pushed from your site.

  • Tested restores

    On the schedule your plan sets, we restore a recent backup into an isolated test copy and check that the site works.

  • A report you can show

    Each test produces a short written report: backup date, restore time and anything that failed. Useful for auditors, boards and insurers.

Two plans. The difference is how often we prove it works.

Both plans back up daily and keep 30 days of history. Professional tests a restore every month instead of every quarter.

What is not included

So you know exactly what you are paying for.

  • Email mailboxes

    This covers website files and databases. Mailboxes are not backed up by this service.

  • Hosted builders

    Wix, Shopify, Squarespace and similar platforms do not give the access needed, so they are not covered.

  • Cleaning a hacked site

    We restore a clean backup. Finding how an attacker got in is Armor SOS.

  • Over 10 GB

    Larger sites are quoted for extra storage before you buy.

Backup questions, answered straight

Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp or open a ticket.

My hosting already has backups. Why would I need this?

Hosting backups are valuable, and Tremhost hosting includes them. They usually sit with the same provider, are reached through the same control panel, and are rarely restore-tested for you. Backup Assurance adds a second copy kept away from your website's server, that your website's logins cannot delete, and proves it restores.

What does a restore test involve?

We restore a recent backup of your files and database into an isolated test copy, check that the site loads and its key pages and forms work, then delete the test copy. You get a short report with the backup date restored, how long the restore took and anything that failed.

Why can a hacked website not delete these backups?

Our backup system connects to your site to collect the backup. Your website's server holds no login to the backup storage, so an attacker who takes over your site or hosting account has nothing to delete the backups with.

Does it work if my website is not hosted with Tremhost?

Yes, as long as we can reach it over SSH or SFTP and connect to its database. That covers most cPanel hosting and every VPS. Website builders such as Wix and Shopify do not give that access, so they are not covered.

What is included in the 10 GB?

Your website files and databases, measured before compression. Email mailboxes are not included. If your site is larger, we quote for the extra storage before you buy.

How quickly can you restore after a real incident?

We start a requested restore within the same business day during support hours, Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00 CAT. Your restore reports show how long a restore of your site takes, so you know before you need it.

I am on Managed WordPress. Do I need this?

Managed WordPress already includes daily backups and malware removal. Backup Assurance adds an off-site copy and restore testing. Many sites will not need it; sites that take payments, bookings or records usually do.
