Backup Strategy

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

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What MetaTrader data is included in backups?

Our backup scope covers all critical MetaTrader data including the trade database, user accounts and balances, group and security configurations, symbol specifications, server settings, gateway and plugin configurations, manager access lists, trade history archives, and log files. We ensure that a complete platform restoration is possible from any backup point.

How frequently are backups performed?

We perform automated full backups daily during low-volume trading windows. Incremental backups run every hour to capture changes between full backups, achieving a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than one hour. Database transaction logs are backed up continuously for point-in-time recovery capability.

What is the expected recovery time if a disaster occurs?

Our standard Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is under 4 hours for a full platform restoration. This includes server provisioning, data restoration, configuration verification, connectivity testing, and validation of trading operations. For brokerages requiring faster recovery, we offer hot-standby configurations with RTOs measured in minutes.

How do you test disaster recovery procedures?

We conduct scheduled DR tests quarterly, simulating various failure scenarios including complete server loss, database corruption, and datacenter-level outages. Each test is documented with recovery times, issues encountered, and improvement recommendations. We also perform annual tabletop exercises with your operations team to review procedures.

Are backups stored offsite and how are they secured?

All backups are replicated to geographically separate storage locations to protect against datacenter-level failures. Backup data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and in transit. Access to backup storage is restricted to authorized personnel with multi-factor authentication. We maintain a 30-day rolling retention window with configurable long-term archival.
