SnapBack captures a complete point-in-time snapshot of your entire FileMaker environment - database files, OS scripts, web server files, plug-ins, configuration - in seconds, not minutes. Snapshots live in Amazon S3 off-instance with 99.999999999% durability, so an instance compromise can’t take your backups with it.
SnapBack is the backup technology that ships with every Soliant.cloud instance. It uses application logic to manage snapshot frequency and retention based on your file size and change rate - default hourly intervals, with 15-minute increments on Premium for business-critical systems.
Generic backup approaches treat backups as a chore: pause the database, dump the files, hope the storage volume has enough headroom. SnapBack is different at every layer.
Database files, OS scripts, web server files, plug-ins, configuration - every component of your FileMaker environment is captured in a single point-in-time snapshot, so a recovery rebuilds the whole stack, not just the .fmp12s.
SnapBack uses application-aware snapshots that don't interrupt your database. Backups complete in seconds with zero downtime - users stay connected, scripts keep running.
Snapshots live in Amazon S3, separated from the FileMaker server itself. If your instance is compromised, your backups are not in the blast radius - they live in a separate AWS service with its own access controls.
Application logic manages snapshot frequency and retention based on file size and change rates. You get the right number of recovery points without paying for retention you don't need.
Browse and download snapshots from the client portal. Restore a single file, an entire database, or the whole instance - without opening a support ticket.
Use SnapBack alongside FileMaker Server's native remote backups for true defense in depth. SnapBack covers the whole environment off-instance; remote backups give you an additional FileMaker-aware copy.
SnapBack reduces both the technical and operational cost of keeping your FileMaker environment recoverable.
Premium enables 15-minute intervals across a 24-hour period in quarter-hour increments - designed for business-critical systems where the difference between an hour of data loss and 15 minutes is the difference between a minor inconvenience and a real incident.
