Who It's For
Built for businesses that know what they need.
Your data stays in Canada
Backups are stored on dedicated hardware within Amanah's infrastructure at 151 Front Street West, Toronto. Canadian data residency — no cross-border transfers, no PIPEDA headaches.
No egress fees on restore
Restoring from cloud storage means paying per-GB transfer fees. Restoring from Amanah's on-site backup servers costs nothing extra — it's all on the same private network.
Faster recovery times
On-site hardware backup means restores happen at full internal network speeds — not throttled by internet bandwidth or cloud provider rate limits.
You control the infrastructure
Your backup data lives on hardware you can see and touch. No shared cloud tenancy, no third-party access, no vendor lock-in to a cloud provider's storage tiers.

- Application-consistent snapshots (VSS-aware)
- Incremental backups after initial full image
