Backup as a Service

Data backup is part of the Managed Server service

Every managed server is backed up via our backup infrastructure – using SEP Sesam, a German-developed backup programme with German support. Backups are taken of the operating system’s data volumes as well as other partitions; we also generate daily dumps of databases.

28-day lead timeMonthly full backup · weekly differential backup · daily incremental backup

  • Separate fire compartment – By default, fuses are located outside the server room in the data centre
  • Geo-redundancy possible – if required, migration to a second, geographically separate data centre
  • Verified integrity – Checksum verification included, plus automated read tests carried out quarterly
  • Monitored fuses – Failed backups are automatically logged in our ticketing system
  • Recovery – individual files or entire servers, including on replacement hardware
The correct operating mode

What is the difference between a managed server and a root server?

With a Managed Server, centron takes care of all operational tasks – set-up, updates, security patches, monitoring and backups – whilst you focus on your applications. With a Root Server (Dedicated Server), you manage the system yourself and have full administrative freedom. Managed servers are worthwhile whenever internal IT resources are limited or business-critical systems need to be operated professionally.

Managed Server FAQ

Everything you need to know about managed servers

What is a managed server?

A high-performance server with no administrative hassle: centron takes care of set-up, updates, security patches, monitoring and backups. You can focus on your projects – we’ll take care of the day-to-day running of the server.

What are the advantages of managed servers over VPS servers?

Managed servers take care of all your system administration needs – including updates, security patches and 24/7 monitoring. VPS servers, on the other hand, offer complete freedom of configuration and are ideal for experienced users with specific requirements.

Can I choose between Linux and Windows?

Yes. Whether Windows or Linux, managed or unmanaged – we adapt to your needs and advise you on the best platform for your applications.

How secure is my data?

Their systems operate in compliance with the GDPR in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres in Germany – with hardened configurations, managed firewalls, automatic backups and redundant network connections. Find out more: Data sovereignty at centron.

What happens if my project grows?

Your managed server scales with your needs: resources can be expanded at any time, and if required, you can switch seamlessly to a high-availability managed cluster – without the hassle of migration.
