Dedicated Backup Servers
The Ultimate Insurance for Your Business Data with Unmetered Bandwidth and Physical Isolation. Maximum Continuity. Zero Surprises During Recovery.
Ransomware attacks and hardware failures are constant threats, a robust backup strategy has become a necessity. A true backup solution goes beyond mere high storage; it is about the certainty that your business can be operational again within hours of an incident. At NovoServe, we understand that the true value of a backup is only realised at the moment of recovery. That is why we have engineered our dedicated backup hosting with a relentless focus on data integrity, isolation, and unparalleled restoration speed.
Our dedicated backup servers provide the physical separation essential for a healthy 3-2-1 backup strategy. By utilizing single-tenant bare metal hardware, you eliminate the security risks inherent in shared cloud environments. Whether you are archiving massive datasets for long-term retention or deploying a real-time disaster recovery site, NovoServe offers the scalable infrastructure needed to shield your most mission-critical data from loss, corruption, or cyber threats.
With strategic data center locations in the Netherlands, Denmark, and the United States, we provide the geographic diversity required to store your data sovereignly and safely away from your primary production site. Combined with our proactive hardware monitoring and a massive 50Gbps network backbone, we provide a foundation you can rely on. With NovoServe, you aren’t just buying disk space; you are investing in a partnership that understands business continuity is your highest priority.
Choose your region for redundancy
The location of your backup server is critical for disaster recovery and compliance. Ensure your "plan B" is physically distant from your "plan A."
Dedicated backup servers from NovoServe
Building a reliable backup environment requires more than just raw terabytes. We focus on the critical factors that determine whether your recovery process succeeds or fails.
Rapid recovery time objective via 50Gbps bandwidth
A backup is only as good as your ability to restore it. While other providers throttle your bandwidth during a crisis, NovoServe delivers a standard 50Gbps unmetered network. This ensures that even a 500TB recovery takes hours, not days, getting your business back online before the downtime impacts your bottom line.
Ransomware defense through bare metal isolation
Unlike shared cloud storage, a dedicated backup server offers complete physical isolation. By utilizing the latest hardware and firmware, we minimize the attack surface for malware. You have total control to implement "immutable" backup repositories, ensuring your data remains encrypted and untouchable by unauthorized third parties.
Predictable costs with affordable data recovery
We believe in data transparency. While many hyperscale cloud providers charge exorbitant "egress" fees the moment you need to download your data for recovery—often costing thousands for a single restore—NovoServe keeps your budget in check. Even if you face a massive 500TB recovery incident, our scale allows us to offer the most affordable overage rates in the industry.
Long-term reliability & bit rot protection
Data that sits untouched for months or years is at risk of "bit rot" (silent corruption). Our hardware team monitors your server 24/7. At the first sign of drive wear or SMART errors, we proactively replace components. You never have to visit a data center again; our hardware experts handle the physical integrity while you manage your data.

Dedicated backup server FAQ
What is a dedicated backup server?
A dedicated backup server is a physical, single-tenant server used exclusively for storing and managing your data backups. Unlike shared backup solutions, you do not share the CPU, disks, or network with any other users. This provides superior security, consistent performance, and the ability to configure your own encryption and retention policies to meet specific regulatory requirements.
What should I consider when configuring a backup server?
When choosing a dedicated server for backup, the ratio between storage capacity and recovery speed is paramount. We recommend calculating your storage needs based on a 3-year growth projection. Additionally, ensure the CPU and RAM are sufficient if you plan to use data deduplication or heavy compression, as these processes require significant compute power to keep your backup windows short.
How important is RAID for backup hosting?
Even though a backup is a copy of your data, the hardware hosting it must be redundant. We support various enterprise RAID levels (such as RAID 6 or 60) that protect against the simultaneous failure of two drives. This is vital for volumes over 100TB, as the "rebuild" time for large arrays can be extensive, putting pressure on the remaining disks.
What is the maximum backup volume capacity?
Utilizing our high-density Supermicro and HPE chassis, we can scale to nearly 800TB of raw storage in a single node. This allows you to manage massive archives and years of data retention on a compact, cost-efficient footprint without the complexity of managing multi-node clusters.
How do I build a backup server with NovoServe?
The process starts by selecting a chassis with the required number of drive bays in our webshop. You can choose enterprise SATA drives for high capacity and add NVMe SSDs to cache incoming backup streams for higher ingest speeds. Once deployed, you can install any backup software of your choice, such as Veeam, Zerto, or RSync, with full control over the OS and security layers.
