@YMC Back Up Service for Dedicated and Shared Servers
New service takes tedious backup tasks off our customers’ hands

  • @YMC

Tokyo – February 5, 2007 -- Last month, GMO Hosting & Security Group company, @YMC Corporation, launched a backup service that saves server data onto an @YMC backup server. To celebrate the new service, for a limited time, we are offering set up fees as low as zero!

Data backup is essential to operating a website because it allows data and software on the server to be retrieved in its original condition in the event of a malfunction. However, carrying out periodic backups is both time-consuming and complicated. As blogging gains popularity the demand for backup on a separate backup server, including database backup is increasing. The service has been introduced in response to that customer demand. 

Backup Service Outline
@YMC carries out periodic backups of data for the customer. Once a day server data is forwarded to a backup server in the @YMC data center. Multiple generation backups mean that the server environment can be restored to almost exactly its original condition not only after a malfunction but also when data has been erased in error. This service is available both to customers on shared servers (a server occupied by several users) and dedicated servers (a server occupied by only one customer/company).

Data is stored on a backup server shared with other users.
