Comprehensive Backup Strategy
A robust backup strategy for MetaTrader goes far beyond simple file copies. Our approach, integrated with our full MetaTrader technical support coverage, protects every critical component of your trading platform with multiple layers of protection.
Automated Daily Backups
Scheduled full backups execute automatically during low-volume trading windows. Hourly incremental backups capture all changes between full backup cycles. Every backup is validated with integrity checks and logged for audit compliance.
Database Replication
Real-time replication of MetaTrader databases to secondary storage ensures near-zero data loss. Synchronous replication for critical trade data and asynchronous replication for historical archives balance protection with performance.
Configuration Versioning
Every configuration change to your MetaTrader environment is captured in version control. Server settings, group configurations, symbol specifications, and plugin parameters are tracked with full change history, enabling instant rollback to any previous state.
Trade History Archives
Long-term archival of closed trade records, account statements, and transaction logs meets regulatory retention requirements. Archives are indexed for fast retrieval and stored in encrypted, tamper-proof storage with configurable retention periods.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Backups are only valuable if you can restore from them quickly and reliably. Our disaster recovery services ensure your brokerage can resume trading operations within defined timeframes after any failure scenario.
DR Site Setup
Geographically separate disaster recovery environments pre-configured with your MetaTrader platform settings. Hot-standby, warm-standby, and cold-standby options available based on your RTO requirements and budget. DR sites are maintained in sync with production.
Failover Testing
Quarterly failover tests simulate real disaster scenarios and validate that your recovery procedures work as documented. Each test measures actual recovery times, identifies gaps, and produces actionable improvement recommendations for your DR plan.
Recovery Procedures
Detailed, step-by-step recovery runbooks for every failure scenario — from single-service failures to complete datacenter loss. Procedures are maintained by our team, tested regularly, and updated whenever your environment changes.
