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

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.
