AlwaysKeepBackup, sync & migration

Your data, backed up. Every night, without fail.

AlwaysKeep runs your database and file backups on a schedule, copies them offsite to S3-compatible storage, keeps exactly the history you choose, and moves data between databases safely when you need to migrate.

Features

Everything you need from backup, sync & migration.

Scheduled backups

Daily, weekdays-only or Sundays-only schedules, run at the time you choose in UK time. If a run is missed it catches up within the hour, and otherwise waits rather than loading production during the working day.

Database & file backups

Compressed database dumps and folder backups, from one place, with every run logged.

Retention you control

Choose what to keep, and older backups are pruned automatically so storage never fills up unnoticed.

Offsite to S3

Copy or sync to any S3-compatible bucket, with parallel transfers and exclude patterns, and browse what's there.

Safe migrations

Move databases and selected tables between servers or into a new schema, with a full migration log.

Locked down

Two-factor sign-in with recovery codes, login lockout after repeated failures, and a backup audit of every run.

FAQ

Common questions

What can AlwaysKeep back up?

MySQL-compatible databases and server folders, on a schedule or on demand, with offsite copies to any S3-compatible storage.

What happens if a scheduled backup is missed?

If the scheduler runs late, AlwaysKeep still fires the backup within an hour of its slot. After that it waits for the next slot rather than putting load on a production database during the working day.

Can it help us move to a new server?

Yes. Migrate whole databases or chosen tables to another server or schema, with progress and a full log.
