How It Works

1. Assessment & Planning - Soteria Cloud works with you to identify critical systems, define RPO/RTO targets, and design your backup strategy.

2. Agent Deployment - Lightweight Acronis agents are installed on servers, workstations, and virtual machines.

3. Backup Configuration - Backup policies are configured specifying schedules (hourly, daily, weekly), retention periods, and storage locations.

4. Initial Backup - Full backups are performed and securely transferred to Teraco-hosted storage.

5. Ongoing Protection - Incremental backups run automatically according to schedule, capturing only changed data for efficiency.

6. Replication - Backups are replicated between Johannesburg and Cape Town data centers for redundancy.

7. Monitoring & Alerts - Automated monitoring ensures backup success; alerts notify administrators of any issues.

8. Recovery Operations - When needed, restore individual files, entire servers, or failover to disaster recovery infrastructure.

Recovery Capabilities

  • File-Level Recovery - Restore individual files or folders without recovering entire systems

  • Full System Recovery - Bare-metal restore to original hardware, different hardware, or virtual machines

  • Instant Restore - Boot servers directly from backup storage while background recovery completes

  • Granular Application Recovery - Restore individual emails, database records, or SharePoint items

  • Cross-Platform Recovery - Recover physical servers as VMs, or migrate between hypervisors

  • Point-in-Time Recovery - Restore to any previous backup point, enabling recovery from ransomware or data corruption
