Backups

Aside from items on Remote Servers, Files.com stores all customer file contents in the Amazon S3 Simple Storage Service. Amazon S3 provides a highly durable storage infrastructure designed for mission-critical and primary data storage. Objects are redundantly stored on multiple devices across multiple facilities in an Amazon S3 Region. Once stored, Amazon S3 maintains the durability of your objects by quickly detecting and repairing any lost redundancy.

Amazon S3 also regularly verifies the integrity of data stored using checksums. If corruption is detected, it is repaired using redundant data. We have never lost any customer data that was stored in Amazon S3, and we do not expect to.

If you need additional backups within your Files.com site, the Sync feature gives you the ability to push files to remote servers. We recommend using Sync to make the additional backups you require.

The remote server types available for backup are Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, and Wasabi. You can also use a Sync to integrate to another Files.com site, such as a Child Site.
