Managed Backup
How Backup Responsibility Works in Practice
Strategy Definition
We define what must be protected, how often backups run, and what recovery means for your website.
Backup – Overview

- Responsibility
- Managed Backup
Your website carries real responsibility: customer trust, search visibility, revenue, and continuity. Backups are not only about files – they are about accountability when something goes wrong.
Our managed backup service is designed for website owners who want more than automation or best-effort safety nets. We take responsibility for ensuring that your site can be restored completely, correctly, and on time – not just in theory, but under real-world conditions.
Updates fail. Plugins conflict. Servers change. Attacks happen. The critical question is rarely whether a backup exists; it is whether recovery works when pressure is high and time matters.
That is why we do not sell backup software or storage space. We provide managed backup responsibility – structured, monitored, and built around recoverability. When failure occurs, there is a clear owner of the outcome.
If your website matters to your business, its recoverability should never depend on assumptions.
We Make Backup Responsibility Visible, Structured, and Predictable
Managed backup means responsibility is not hidden behind automation. Backups are created on a defined schedule, monitored for completion, and stored independently from your live website. Nothing depends on manual routines or assumptions that everything is probably fine. If something fails, the process does not stop at notification. It moves directly toward recovery. Restores are planned, verified, and executed with your specific site structure in mind rather than treated as a generic template. The result is a backup system that behaves like infrastructure – stable, predictable, and reliable enough that you rarely have to think about it until it truly matters.

Backup Strategy: Defined Together
Every website carries a different risk profile. Before anything runs automatically, we define what must be protected, how often it should be backed up, and where recovery data must live. This includes:
- Backup frequency (daily, weekly, or near real-time)
- Data scope (files, media, databases, and configurations)
- Storage location (independent cloud or off-site infrastructure)
- Recovery expectations (what “back online” actually means in practice)
This strategy is agreed on upfront – not assumed, not implied. Clear strategy is what turns backup automation into managed backup responsibility.
Backup Execution: Handled by Us
Once the strategy is defined, execution no longer depends on you. Backups run automatically according to plan, are monitored for completion, and remain separate from your live website. If failures occur, they are addressed proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.
When recovery is required, restores are executed with your site’s actual structure in mind – themes, plugins, data relationships, and dependencies – not as a generic one-click process.
You don’t manage the system. You don’t chase alerts. And you don’t carry the operational risk.
How Managed Backup Responsibility Works
Start with a Backup Responsibility Check
Every website is different, and not every setup requires the same level of management. A backup responsibility check helps clarify how your current backups behave in practice, where assumptions may exist, and whether a managed backup approach is appropriate for your situation. Just a clear review of what is currently in place – and what level of recoverability you can realistically expect.
Gomanos is about digital clarity. We help you understand what actually matters in hosting, backups, and website setup - so you can make confident decisions.
