Why choose Xelon Cloud?

Overview

Xelon Simple Backup provides automated, policy-based backups for cloud servers and block storage volumes. Configure backup frequency (hourly, daily, weekly), retention (7-365 days), and restore entire servers or individual files via the UI or API.

Key Highlights:

  • Automated daily backups with configurable schedules (hourly, daily, weekly)

  • Flexible retention: 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180, 365 days

  • Instant server recovery (full restore in under 10 minutes)

  • File-level recovery for granular restores (mount snapshots as read-only volumes)

  • Incremental backups with block-level deduplication (only changed blocks are backed up)

  • Cross-region backup replication for disaster recovery

Why Simple Backup?

  • Automation: Set-and-forget backup policies, no manual intervention

  • Cost Efficiency: Incremental backups reduce storage costs by 70-90% vs. full backups

  • Fast Recovery: Restore entire servers in under 10 minutes with RTO <15 minutes

  • Compliance: Retain backups for regulatory requirements (FINMA, GDPR, HIPAA)
