# Is my data backed up?

Yes. At Hodi, backing up your data is **included by default**, with no action needed on your part. Here's exactly what that covers.

### A standard backup

The location of this backup depends on your hosting type:

* **Web hosting**: your data is backed up **out-of-country**, to a second data center.
* **Dedicated virtual server**: your data is backed up **in-country**, to meet **compliance and regulatory requirements** (in particular data-localization obligations).

Your backups are taken **automatically and daily**, and kept for a rolling 30 days on web hosting, and a rolling 7 days on dedicated virtual servers. You don't have to schedule anything: the system runs in the background.

### Restoring service: best effort on standard plans

If needed, we restore your data and get your service back up **as fast as possible** (*best effort*), with no contractual time commitment on standard plans. For most businesses, this level of protection is enough.

### Need more? Enhanced continuity options

If downtime has a real cost for you, you can strengthen this protection with the option suited to your hosting - [**CYBER+**](https://hodi.host/store/hebergement-web/cyberplus) for web hosting, [**Managed DRP**](https://hodi.host/store/pra-manage) for dedicated servers - which add automatic failover and a **guaranteed 2-hour RTO**. These options are detailed in our article dedicated to protection in the event of an incident.

**What does this mean for you in practice?** Your data is protected from day one, with no configuration needed. What remains is to determine, based on how critical your business is, whether the standard level is enough for you or whether enhanced continuity is warranted.
