Your questions answered
How is my data stored?
Your backups are stored on OVHcloud Object Storage, built on S3-compatible technology. To protect your data against hardware or site failures, Backup Agent applies anti-affinity rules – meaning your backup data is stored across separate physical infrastructures and locations. You can create up to three independent vaults per customer, ensuring isolation between your environments, with built-in redundancy and resilience.
How does a vault work?
A vault is a secure, isolated storage space where your backed-up data is safely stored. It’s built on OVHcloud’s Object Storage technology and fully compatible with the S3 protocol. Each vault provides a highly durable and protected environment, with encryption and immutability automatically enabled to ensure your data remains safe and unchanged.
All information stored in a vault is encrypted by default to prevent any unauthorised access – and immutable – meaning it cannot be altered or deleted once written. This ensures maximum protection and reliability, keeping your backups secure and recoverable at all times.
When the Service is first activated, OVHcloud automatically creates a vault in a separate region from your Bare Metal server. This design follows a geo-redundancy policy, distributing data across regions to boost resilience and availability.
In practical terms:
For Bare Metal servers in Europe, a Vault may be created in another European country.
For Bare Metal servers in Canada, the Vault is located in a Canadian datacentre.
For Bare Metal servers in Asia-Pacific, a Vault may be created in a different country within the region.
By storing data in a separate location from your server, OVHcloud ensures added protection and redundancy for your backups, giving you peace of mind.
How can I monitor my backups?
You can monitor backups from a central console, and additionally, receive daily emails about your backup status and any potential issues.
What Service Level Agreement (SLA) does OVHcloud guarantee for access to Object Storage?
By default, the Object Storage service offers a 99.9% SLA when using a 1-AZ. For more information, please refer to the General Terms and Conditions of Service.
How does billing work?
The billing structure is similar to that of Object Storage (per storage capacity used per hour, with billing at end of the month).
