How is data security ensured in faircloud?

  • Firstly, deleted files do not simply disappear, but can be restored via the recycle bin (Deleted Files, bottom left in the navigation within faircloud)
  • if faircloud is synchronised with the desktop, the files are additionally backed up on the computer

fairkom works with Hetzner as a hosting partner

  • storage boxes there are protected by a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), which can tolerate the failure of multiple hard drives
  • the risk of data loss is therefore relatively low
  • by using checksums for individual data blocks, bit errors are detected and corrected

fairkom performs backups using cron jobs

  • a backup of the database is applied daily to a different machine within the same data centre
  • every Tuesday and Saturday, a backup of the data is transferred to a different data centre
