Frequently Asked Questions

What backup plans are available and how do they differ?

There are three core plans: 1) cloud only backup (designed for desktops), 2) a local plus cloud plan using a NAS device, 3) and a local plus cloud plan using an OXEN owned onsite backup server. The key difference between the plans is recovery speed. The onsite appliance options allow systems to be spun up virtually from a local backup while original hardware is being repaired, which dramatically reduces downtime compared to restoring from cloud alone.

How do we get started?

Every Managed Backup engagement starts with a consultation process. OXEN experts work with clients to evaluate what systems need protection, how much data is present, acceptable recovery timeframes, and retention requirements. Then a customized plan is designed. Due to the environment variables of this solution, OXEN requires a scoping conversation before an agreement is signed.

How is this priced?

OXEN's Managed Backup is customized for each client environment depending on what is being protected. Pricing varies based on the plan tier (cloud-only vs. local-plus-cloud), the storage required, and any customizations such as extended retention or archival. Scoping determines the final configuration and pricing.

How is this different from just running Windows Backup or a consumer cloud service?

Consumer and built-in tools aren't monitored. If a backup fails, nobody knows until a restore is attempted. OXEN monitors every backup job daily, responds to failures, verifies integrity quarterly, and stores data encrypted with offsite replication. Updates, capacity, and health monitoring are all handled for clients.

What happens if a backup fails?

An alert is generated for the engineering team. An engineer investigates the cause, fixes it, and notifies clients of what occurred and the resolution. Clients receive daily backup status reports so to ensure constant visibility and confidence.

Does this include restores?

File and folder restores are included under the agreement, with up to one hour of labor covered. Full system recoveries due to hardware failure, ransomware, or disaster events are handled separately and are not part of the base solution.

Can we customize retention or add archival?

Yes. Standard retention is 90 days for both local and offsite copies. Retention timeframes can be extended, and archival of offsite images is also available. Air-gapped backup and virtual disaster recovery are also available as customization options. These options are all covered in the scoping and consultation process.

Does backup guarantee regulatory compliance? A backup solution is a small part of a compliance framework. Compliance with legal, regulatory, or industry-specific mandates requires explicit scoping. OXEN will design a backup plan that supports your compliance requirements during the scoping and consultation process.
