Backups: a copy the same outage cannot take

Retention tiers as policy, an explicit cross-provider copy, and restores from a recorded source.

A backup in the same building is a hope

A backup that lives only where the thing it protects lives is no backup when that place is the outage. ProjectX backups run on retention tiers applied as policy — not a cron job someone maintains — and an explicit durability flag copies a backup to a second provider.

What you get

  • Scheduled backups with retention tiers applied as policy: daily, weekly and monthly copies kept and expired automatically.
  • An explicit cross-provider durability flag for the copies that must survive a provider-level event.
  • Restores from a recorded, point-in-time source — the restore names its backup.
  • Everything on the same invoice, billed as the storage the backups actually hold.

The honest default

The cross-provider flag is off by default because it doubles cost. Turning it on is an explicit, audited choice with the price consequence visible before you confirm — cost honesty beats a quiet surprise on the invoice.
