FAQ – Frequently asked questions

How can I use Object Storage for backups and long-term archiving?

IONOS CLOUD Object Storage is a cost-effective way to store large volumes of backup or archive data. You can integrate it directly with backup software or use S3-compatible tools to upload data. Features like Object Lock (WORM) ensure your backups remain immutable— protected from accidental deletion and ransomware. Because storage is scalable and billed based on actual usage, it works well for daily backups, disaster recovery snapshots, and long-term archiving.

What are the cost benefits of Object Storage compared to block storage?

Object Storage uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model based only on stored data and transfer volume. There's no need to pre-allocate capacity or manage virtual disks, which lowers overhead and complexity. It's especially cost-efficient for cold data (like infrequent backups or archives) and scalable workloads with changing storage needs. You only pay for what you actually use — helping reduce costs in many backup and archive scenarios.

Does Object Storage support immutability for backup protection?

Yes. IONOS CLOUD Object Storage includes Object Lock, which lets you make data immutable for a set retention period. That means backups or archives can't be changed or deleted — protecting you against accidental edits, ransomware, or malicious activity. It's a critical feature for ensuring long-term data integrity.
