The Hidden Risk

Why Most Business Backups Fail When It Matters Most

Ransomware groups attack backup systems first. A backup that hasn't been tested is not a backup — it's a liability.

🔓

Ransomware Deletes Your Backups First

Modern ransomware locates and encrypts or deletes backup repositories before attacking production data. Without immutable, air-gapped copies, your backup offers zero protection.

Critical Risk
⚖️

NIS2 Penalties Start at €10 Million

NIS2 explicitly mandates "backup management and disaster recovery" with documented, tested recovery procedures. Non-compliance risks fines of up to €10M or 2% of global turnover.

Regulatory Risk
🌐

US CLOUD Act Overrides EU Data Protections

Data stored with US-headquartered providers can be legally accessed by US authorities — even when physically stored in EU datacentres. True sovereignty requires an EU-based provider under EU law exclusively.

Sovereignty Risk
📊

Untested Backups Have a 58% Failure Rate

Industry data shows that nearly 6 in 10 backup restores fail during a real disaster when backups haven't been routinely tested. Mindtime performs automated restore verification on every backup job.

Operational Risk
💰

Hidden Egress Fees Punish Recovery

Hyperscalers charge per-GB egress fees every time you restore data. A 10 TB restore can cost thousands in unexpected fees — precisely when your business can least afford surprises.

Financial Risk
🕒

Average Ransomware Downtime: 24 Days

Without a tested, managed recovery plan, the average organisation spends 24 days recovering from a ransomware attack. A proven BaaS with instant VM boot reduces this to hours.

Business Continuity Risk

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Mindtime Backup as a Service.

Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a fully managed cloud backup solution where your data is automatically backed up to secure, offsite datacentres. Unlike self-managed backup, BaaS includes 24/7 monitoring, automated restore testing, and recovery support — all handled by specialists. Mindtime's BaaS stores your data exclusively in Dutch and German datacentres, ensuring true EU data sovereignty and compliance with GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001.
Yes. Mindtime BaaS is designed to help organisations meet NIS2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 requirements out of the box. Your data is stored exclusively in Tier III certified datacentres in the Netherlands and Germany, subject solely to EU law. We provide audit-ready reporting, immutable backups with Object Lock, AES-256 end-to-end encryption, MFA-protected admin access, and documented recovery testing — all included in the service.
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum amount of data you could lose in a disaster. Mindtime BaaS offers a 15-minute RPO through continuous snapshots. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how fast you're back online. Critical virtual machines can be booted instantly in Mindtime's isolated recovery environment, while full environment restores are typically completed within 4 hours for critical workloads.
Mindtime BaaS protects: Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams), Google Workspace, on-premises VMware vSphere and Hyper-V, Proxmox, physical Windows and Linux servers, SQL Server and MySQL databases, NAS devices (Synology, QNAP), endpoints (Windows and macOS), and major cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. All from a single management console.
Mindtime BaaS uses a multi-layered approach: Immutable backups with Object Lock — backup data cannot be encrypted, modified, or deleted, even by an admin with compromised credentials. Air-gapped copies — an additional copy is stored in an isolated environment. Continuous malware scanning — backup data is scanned for indicators of compromise. MFA-protected admin access — all management actions require multi-factor authentication. Isolated recovery network — restoration happens in a separate, clean environment to prevent re-infection.
No. Mindtime BaaS uses transparent per-TB pricing with zero egress fees, zero API call charges, and no minimum storage commitments. When you need to restore — especially during a crisis — your invoice does not change. This is deliberately different from hyperscaler backup services that charge per-GB for every restore operation.
All backup data is stored in Tier III certified datacentres located exclusively in the Netherlands and Germany. Your data never leaves EU jurisdiction and is not subject to the US CLOUD Act or other non-EU legislation. Access is restricted to authorised Mindtime engineers (under strict RBAC and MFA) and you — via the self-service web portal. A GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement is included with every service contract.
