Catalyst2: Additional Dedicated Services

Backups

Depending on the dedicated solution you choose, we will take a variety of backups for you. There are two key types:

Server images - a complete image of the server filesystem that can be restored at any point. This is mainly used as a disaster recovery tool to ensure that your server is online as quickly as possible should any hard drive issues occur.
File by File backup - this allows for individual files to be restored at any time - this is mostly used should you accidently overwrite a file or edit a file mistakenly.

DNS Management

DNS is a complex beast. We are experts in this field and we can use our skills ensure:

Any site migrations are seemless
Any subdomains are setup quickly and effectively
Any mail rearrangements you have work effectively and with maximum redundancy
