Backup for Digital Agencies

You manage client infrastructure. We store the backups. One account, separate datastores per client, simple TB pricing. Stop worrying about backup and get back to client work.

Why Agencies Use remote-backups.com

You run Proxmox environments for multiple clients. Each one needs offsite backup, but none of them justify dedicated backup infrastructure. remote-backups.com gives you one place to manage all client backups with per-client isolation and predictable costs.

Made for Multi-Client Management:

  • Per-client datastores: Isolated storage for each client — no cross-contamination
  • One dashboard: See all clients' backup status in one place
  • Set and forget: Configure once, backups run automatically
  • Simple billing: €8.50/TB, pass through to clients or absorb the cost
  • Fast restores: When a client calls at 9 AM with a broken site, you restore in minutes
  • No infra to manage: We handle the storage, you handle the clients

Agency Benefits

  • 100GB free to test
  • €8.50/TB simple pricing
  • Per-client datastores
  • PBS sync for Proxmox
  • German DCs — GDPR covered

Prices are net. Taxes may apply.

Agency Pain Points

Too Many Clients, Too Little Time

You're managing 10, 20, 50 client environments. Setting up and monitoring backup for each one is a time sink. You need something that works across all of them without per-client effort.

Can't Justify Dedicated Infra

No single client generates enough backup volume to justify buying and racking a dedicated backup server. You need shared infrastructure with per-client isolation.

The 3 AM Call

A client's server goes down. They need a restore now. If your backup is on the same server that failed, or you can't find it, that call turns into a crisis. Offsite backup with clear per-client organization avoids this.

Client Liability

When you manage infrastructure, you own the backup responsibility. "We didn't have backups" is not something you want to tell a client. Automated offsite backup is insurance.

Typical Agency Setups

Web Hosting for Clients

You host client websites and apps on Proxmox VMs.

  • Daily PBS snapshots of each client VM
  • Sync to remote-backups.com nightly
  • Per-client namespace or datastore

Client Databases

MySQL, PostgreSQL, or application databases across clients.

  • Database dumps via cron + Borg
  • Separate backup repo per client
  • Point-in-time recovery available
  • Encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Deduplication keeps costs down

E-Commerce Sites

WooCommerce, Shopify backends, or custom shops on client VMs.

  • Full VM backup captures everything
  • Database + media files included
  • Quick restore after failed updates
