What our engineers handle on rclone and rsync backups
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Schedule rsync and rclone jobs with logs and failure alerts
- 2Keep versions or snapshots so deletions can be undone
- 3Encrypt data in transit and at rest with rclone crypt where needed
- 4Limit bandwidth and run at quiet times, and verify with checksums
Problems we fix
Problem
A sync deleted files on the backup too
What we do
We switch to versioned backups or snapshots so old copies remain.
Problem
Backup jobs fail silently
What we do
We add exit-code checks and alerts, and fix the cause such as expired tokens or full disks.
Problem
The upload is very slow
What we do
We tune transfers and bandwidth settings and choose a closer or faster storage region.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about rclone and rsync backups
Is rsync enough for backups?
Only with versioning or snapshots on the destination. We often pair it with restic or ZFS snapshots for proper history.
Can you back up to Google Drive or OneDrive?
Yes through rclone, with the limits those services have. For serious backups we prefer object storage.
What does it cost to have rclone and rsync backups managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and rclone and rsync backups is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
