Extend Your Server Backup for Greater Business Continuity
With centron add-ons, you can make your failover solution even more effective. centron solutions grow alongside your business and provide you with comprehensive security and compliance measures.
High Availability
When configuring your ccloud³, choose the High Availability Pool. This ensures your VM runs on redundant infrastructure with a 99.95% uptime SLA, while the high-availability architecture mirrors all data in real time across multiple cloud nodes. As a result, applications remain accessible even in the event of hardware failures. Combined with cProtect, this creates a comprehensive protection package against downtime, data loss, and ransomware.
Managed Server
With a centron Managed Server, you benefit from a fully managed server environment including Managed Backup. Our technicians take care of the operation, maintenance, and security of your system – with regular backups included as a standard feature.
Enhance your Managed Server with cProtect to gain additional protection against downtime and ransomware.
Disaster Recovery Process
By combining Managed Servers, cProtect, and the High Availability feature, you create a comprehensive disaster recovery process:
- Managed Server handles operation, maintenance, and regular backups.
- cProtect provides failover protection, ransomware defense, and restores system states up to 24 hours back.
- The High Availability Pool ensures highly available storage volumes and reliable protection at the hardware level.
This gives you an end-to-end security concept – from hardware to software – that reliably protects your IT infrastructure against downtime, data loss, and cyberattacks.
cProtect FAQ
Everything you need to know about the cProtect failover solution, server backup, and ransomware protection with centron.
What is a failover solution and how does it differ from disaster recovery?
A failover solution automatically switches to a redundant system in the event of a system failure to maintain operations and ensure immediate availability. While traditional backups also secure data, they require manual restoration in an emergency – leading to longer downtimes and the risk of data loss between backup intervals.
Disaster Recovery (DR), on the other hand, is a comprehensive plan for restoring services and data after a major incident. It may include a failover process but goes beyond simple switchover to bring systems back to their original state. The main difference lies in scope: failover is a short-term solution for smaller outages, whereas DR is a long-term strategy for large-scale failures.
How does a failover solution like cProtect work?
cProtect is a failover solution that ensures the continuous operation of your systems. In the event of a failure, a replacement system takes over so that your applications are available again within the shortest possible time.
To achieve this, cProtect replicates your VMs in its own environment using snapshots and creates a consistent image every 15 minutes. A total of 15 + 1 backup states are available, with the oldest state being overwritten each cycle. In the event of a failover, cProtect accesses the most recent replication VM, ensuring that your services continue to run with virtually no downtime.
How far back can I roll back data with cProtect?
By default, cProtect creates a backup every 15 minutes. This allows you to roll back up to four hours in time. If required, rollbacks of up to 24 hours are also possible. This option is particularly effective against ransomware, crypto trojans, and other types of malware.
What are the advantages of cProtect?
With cBacks and snapshots, centron already provides powerful options for securing your ccloud³ VMs – free of charge when operating a VM. cBacks are created automatically on an hourly or daily basis and can be retained indefinitely, while snapshots are created manually and stored until deleted. However, in cases of ransomware, unexpected outages, or the need for rapid system recovery, such traditional backups quickly reach their limits.
This is where cProtect comes in. While backups only secure data, cProtect ensures continuous replication every 15 minutes, guaranteed failover, and the ability to roll back systems up to 24 hours in the past. This allows even serious incidents such as ransomware attacks or complete server failures to be efficiently mitigated. In this way, simple data protection becomes a comprehensive business continuity solution that reliably and sustainably protects your systems.
How much does server backup and ransomware protection cost?
The cost of server backup and ransomware protection can vary significantly depending on the desired level of service. Simple cloud backup solutions are available for just a few euros per month, while comprehensive enterprise solutions with advanced features for virtual machines, databases, or applications can cost several hundred euros per year.
With cProtect, you get a reliable failover and backup solution starting at just €0.03 per GB of storage. This includes continuous replication every 15 minutes, rollbacks of up to 24 hours, and comprehensive ransomware protection – all hosted with full data sovereignty in our ISO 27001-certified data center in Hallstadt.
Which use cases does cProtect support?
cProtect protects you against, among others:
- Ransomware and malware attacks by rolling systems back to a clean state
- Costly downtime, as the replacement system takes over
- Hardware failures, in combination with the HA feature for maximum availability
- Faulty updates or configuration errors, by rolling back to the last working version
- Data loss thanks to continuous replication every 15 minutes
- Revenue loss in e-commerce or SaaS, since customers always retain access
Thanks to guaranteed failover mechanisms and full data sovereignty in our ISO 27001-certified data center in Hallstadt, your business operations remain protected even in critical situations.
Does cProtect protect me against cyberattacks?
cProtect is an effective way to reverse infections caused by ransomware, crypto trojans, and other malware – simply roll back in time. The prerequisite is that the infection is detected quickly. Therefore, regularly check your systems or use a centron Managed Server with integrated 24/7 monitoring. This ensures that attacks are identified promptly and immediate countermeasures can be taken.

Managed Backup vs. cProtect – what are the differences in server data protection?
cProtect reliably protects your systems through replication every 15 minutes, guaranteed failover, and rollbacks of up to 24 hours. This allows outages and ransomware attacks to be mitigated quickly – provided the incident or error is detected in time.
In exactly such cases, Managed Backup provides the necessary security. Based on a defined backup plan, it creates regular backups and retains them for up to four weeks. This ensures reliable protection even against slow-acting infections that are only discovered later.
In short: cProtect secures your availability in real time, while Managed Backup protects you in the long term – combining both solutions offers the best protection against data loss and downtime.
