Genesis Backup FAQs

Why should we use Genesis Backup over other backup providers?

Genesis Backup was designed to be extremely performant with no risk of price creep due to transaction or bandwidth costs. We also provide professional services to assist with corporate installations where automation is required. With the ability to recover to local infrastructure running at Genesis, restores can be extremely fast – no need to recover from a backup service to a public cloud provider over slow, oversubscribed, and typically throttled links. We provide a free trial and free discussions by phone so you can try before you buy without any risk. Give us a chance to impress you!
