Backup as a Service
Built for EU Data
Sovereignty
Most businesses discover their backup doesn't work during a ransomware attack. Mindtime BaaS is different — immutable, tested, and fully managed by EU-based specialists, with your data never leaving the Netherlands or Germany.

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 RiskNIS2 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 RiskUS 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 RiskUntested 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 RiskHidden 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 RiskAverage 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.

3-2-1-1-0 Immutable Strategy
