SideCar microservice

A private backup channel walled off from your live instance.

OptiFlex Private Backup writes encrypted, differential snapshots to independent object storage - built for clients with industry compliance or risk-mitigation requirements. It leverages the same SnapBack architecture that protects every Soliant.cloud instance, extended with isolation controls that address the single biggest backup-failure scenario in ransomware events: backups in the same blast radius as the production server.

What it is

Launch a private backup to meet your industry requirements.

Private Backup is a Soliant.cloud SideCar that simplifies integrations, addresses performance implications of compliance-grade backup, and helps achieve cost optimization goals. It is purpose-built for FileMaker environments where regulatory or contractual obligations require backups to be stored independently of the live production environment.

The single-point-of-attack problem

A backup that lives on the same server - or even in the same VPC, account, or credential boundary - can be encrypted, deleted, or exfiltrated by the same attacker who reaches the production instance. Private Backup eliminates that single point of attack by writing to an encrypted, independent storage service that the live instance has no privilege to modify or delete.

Key capabilities

What Private Backup does for you.

Engineered specifically for FileMaker on AWS - not a generic backup product retrofitted onto a database it doesn't understand.

Walled-off, encrypted storage

Backup sets are written to an encrypted, independent object-storage service - separate from your live FileMaker environment. A compromise of the live instance can't reach the backup channel.

Sub-second snapshots

Volume backups complete in less than a second. Database operations are not paused - your team keeps working while the backup runs.

15-minute Point-in-Time recovery

Catalog Point-in-Time captures every 15 minutes. 96 recovery points maintained over the most recent 24-hour window - restore the state of the environment at any of them.

Differential storage = lower cost

Each snapshot stores only the differential since the previous one, not a full copy. Storage cost is a small fraction of equivalent EBS retention, with zero loss of recovery granularity.

Reduced attack surface

By eliminating a single point of attack - backups in the same blast radius as the live server - Private Backup directly addresses the most common backup-failure scenario in ransomware events.

Built on SnapBack architecture

Private Backup uses the same proven SnapBack engine that protects every Soliant.cloud instance - extended with isolation and compliance controls for clients with specific regulatory requirements.

Who it's for

Built for clients who can't afford a backup compromise.

If any of these describe your environment, Private Backup is likely the right addition to your Soliant.cloud package.

If your compliance posture or insurance terms require independent backup storage, Private Backup gets you there with no manual handling. Let’s scope it for your environment.
