7 SERVICE LEVELS AND DATA BACKUP
7.1 MANZMAN shall use its reasonable endeavours to make the server and the Services available to the Customer 100% of the time but because the Services are provided by means of computer and telecommunications systems, MANZMAN makes no warranties or representations that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free and MANZMAN shall not, in any event, be liable for interruptions of Service or downtime of the server.
7.2 Overview of MANZMAN Hosting Platform: MANZMAN only uses High Performence servers in its web hosting platform. Utilising state-of-the-art technology we have built a web hosting platform that is second to none. Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails, another server automatically and without delay takes over that server's workload. For example, if one of our mail servers breaks down, another server automatically comes online with all the correct configuration, and takes over the work of the failed server. During this period no email is lost. As well as this, all data is stored in two large network disk arrays. Data is automatically synchronised between the arrays so that in the event of an array failing, the remaining array continues to serve data to the servers with no downtime. Each array is also backed up each night to a separate backup cluster which is then written to tape and stored offsite. Our backup procedure goes above and beyond the majority of web hosting companies.
7.3 For websites hosted under the managed basic hosting plan, MANZMAN carries out complete server data backups as described above in 7.2 for its own use in restoring servers in the event of systems failure, but Customers are responsible for taking their own backups of their Content including all website files and databases. Customers are provided with access to a hosting control panel through which such backups may be made easily. Under the standard hosting plan, MANZMAN does not include a data restoration service for individual customers, though this may be requested for a fee. Even though every effort is made to ensure data is backed up correctly, MANZMAN accepts no responsibility for data loss or corruption.
7.3 For websites hosted under the managed CMS hosting plan, MANZMAN will make and retain on behalf of the Customer a regular offsite backup of all Content including all website files and databases. Upon Customer request, a copy of these backups can be made available or copied to a specified location. Even though every effort is made to ensure data is backed up correctly, MANZMAN accepts no responsibility for data loss or corruption. Under the enhanced CMS hosting plan, MANZMAN will also endeavour to apply on a timely basis (and as applicable) all core Drupal, WordPress or Joomla CMS security patches and updates, as well as updates to any third-party components and plugins where requested by the Customer.
