Data server backup and secure cloud storage

Two Locations, Complete Peace of Mind

Your business data is your most valuable asset. Customer records, inventory databases, transaction history, and financial data — losing any of it could be catastrophic. Our dual-location backup strategy ensures your data is always protected and recoverable.

Every day, your data is automatically encrypted and backed up to two separate locations: your local on-site network for fast recovery, and the secure AMS Cloud for off-site disaster protection. If hardware failure, theft, fire, or weather destroys your on-site systems, your cloud backup has you covered.

  • Automated daily encrypted backups
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity planning
  • Secure AMS Cloud storage with AES-256 encryption
  • Fast data restoration and point-in-time recovery
  • Continuous monitoring and backup verification

Dual-Location Backup

Our backup strategy uses two separate storage locations to maximize your data safety. The local on-site backup provides the fastest recovery times — if you need to restore a file or recover from a minor issue, it takes only minutes. This backup runs automatically during off-peak hours to avoid impacting system performance.

The AMS Cloud backup provides off-site disaster protection. Even if your entire on-site infrastructure is destroyed, your data is safe in our secure cloud environment. Cloud backups are transmitted via encrypted connections and stored with AES-256 encryption at rest.

Disaster Recovery

When disaster strikes — whether it is a server crash, ransomware attack, fire, flood, or theft — our disaster recovery process gets you back to business as quickly as possible. Local backups can typically be restored within minutes to a few hours. Cloud-based recovery is designed to get you operational within the same business day.

Monitoring & Verification

A backup is only valuable if it actually works. Our team continuously monitors backup health, verifies data integrity, and tests recovery procedures on a regular schedule. If a backup fails or shows signs of corruption, we are alerted immediately and take corrective action before it becomes a problem.

Data Backup Questions

Your data is backed up daily as a standard practice, with backups running automatically during off-peak hours to avoid impacting system performance. For businesses that require more frequent protection, we can configure backups to run multiple times per day. Each backup is a complete snapshot that allows point-in-time recovery to the exact state of your data at that moment.
We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption to protect your data both in transit and at rest. This means your data is encrypted before it leaves your network, remains encrypted during transfer to the AMS Cloud, and stays encrypted in storage. Only authorized personnel with the proper decryption keys can access your backup data, ensuring complete confidentiality.
Local backups can typically be restored within minutes to a few hours, depending on the volume of data. Cloud-based recovery takes slightly longer but is designed to get you operational as quickly as possible, usually within the same business day. Our team manages the entire restoration process so you can focus on getting your store back up and running.
Our backup covers your complete Counterpoint database including inventory records, customer data, transaction history, purchase orders, vendor information, and system configurations. We work with you during setup to identify any additional files or data sets that are critical to your business. This ensures that in a recovery scenario, you have everything you need to resume normal operations without missing a beat.
This is exactly why we use dual-location backup. If your on-site systems and local backup are both lost due to fire, flood, theft, or other disaster, your data is still safe in the AMS Cloud. We can restore your complete database to new hardware and have you operational again as quickly as replacement equipment can be provisioned. Our disaster recovery planning helps ensure this process is as smooth and fast as possible.
