A daily backup is quick to set up. What counts is whether it works when something goes wrong. We check this regularly and define how long your data is kept.

## From backup to tested restore

A backup is only worth something once restoring it has been proven to work.

- Set up: The database is backed up every day.
- Define retention: We draw up a retention plan in line with GoBD (German rules for digital bookkeeping).
- Test the restore: We regularly check that the backup can actually be restored.
- Document: Setup and checks are documented, so every step is clear when something goes wrong.

## Kept under watch with a maintenance contract

With a maintenance contract, we monitor backups, updates and antivirus for a fixed monthly fee and act before things break. This applies to the database as much as to the rest of your IT.
