Backup and Restore Service Policy

No backup solution is 100% reliable for all situations. Customers are responsible for maintaining their own backups on their own personal computers. ACSB does not provide any sort of compensation for lost or incomplete data in the event that backups do not function properly As such, ACSB strongly encourages all of our customers (shared hosting and dedicated/virtual servers) to maintain local copies (on their own systems) of their site for backup/recovery purposes. ACSB strongly recommends that before customers make changes to their site, they ensure they have a local copy of their functional site.
  • Any shared hosting account using more than 10 Gigabytes of disk space will be removed from our backup system.
  • And our backup is mainly for our Internal use.
  • All customer that request for data restore from our backup system will be charged for RM150 for working hours, and RM250 for extended hour on every restore.
  • Our System backups are made daily. No guarantees are made of any kind, either expressed or implied, as to the integrity of these backups
