Industrial companies
Your catalogue cannot disappear.
Years of data sheets, tables and references. Rebuilding that is months of work, which is why it gets copied whole every night.
The catalogue, the data sheets and the quote requests received are copied whole every night away from the server, with the restore tested, and the website keeps its security certificate renewed automatically.

What would be lost
On an industrial website the asset is not the design: it is the three hundred references with their tables, the data sheet for each one with its revisions, the process pages and the translations. That is years of work by several people, and rebuilding it from an old PDF is exactly the project nobody wants to have.
And the requests received
The quote requests coming in through the site carry names, emails, phone numbers and sometimes drawings. That is personal data and sometimes a customer’s confidential information. Article 32 of the GDPR requires being able to restore it quickly and to verify that you can, and in industry there is a commercial reason on top: losing a request is losing an offer somebody had already asked you for.
Off the server and with several copies
A copy on the same machine is no use when the machine is the problem. Ours are kept elsewhere and several are kept, because an error in a technical table can take weeks to spot and by then the good copy is not last night’s.
The certificate, which also gets looked at
A buyer about to upload a drawing to your form checks whether the browser says the site is secure. The certificate is there and renews itself, with nobody needing to remember.
The same thing, explained in general: Daily backups

Frequently asked questions
Are the drawings people send included?
Yes, if they are on the site. And that is why they are kept with the same care as everything else: they may be a customer’s confidential material.
How long does restoring the catalogue take?
For one family, minutes. For everything, longer, and we give you the estimate at the start.
Does this make me GDPR compliant?
It covers the part of article 32 that depends on the website. Your record of processing and your contracts are another matter.
Can I take a copy with me?
Yes. It is yours and it is handed over whenever you ask.
