Why Dedicated Document Cloud Backup Matters

Generic cloud backup solutions (like Backblaze, AWS S3, or Azure Blob) are designed for raw data redundancy. They are excellent at keeping a copy of your data safe. But they are not designed for document compliance — they don't understand retention periods, POPIA requirements, role-based access by document type, or ECT Act certification.

Paperop's Cloud Backup service is purpose-built for South African document compliance. Your backups are not just safe — they are indexed, retained according to the correct legal schedule, and accessible with exactly the right access controls.

What's Included

Automated daily backups: All documents in your active system backed up daily to a geographically separate, encrypted vault.
Point-in-time recovery: Restore any document to its state at any point in the previous 90 days — essential for recovering from accidental deletion or ransomware attacks.
POPIA-compliant retention: Backup retention periods aligned to your document retention schedule — backups are not retained longer than legally necessary.
Ransomware immutability: Backups are stored in an immutable format that cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware, even if your primary systems are compromised.
Recovery SLA: Guaranteed restoration time SLA — we restore your full archive within a defined window in the event of a total primary system failure.

A POPIA backup strategy must ensure that personal information in backups is also deleted when the retention period expires. Perpetual backups containing personal data are a compliance violation. Paperop's system manages this automatically.

Cloud Data Backup & Ransomware Recovery

Safeguard your digital archives against modern cyber threats. Our enterprise-grade cloud backup solutions provide immutable, air-gapped storage to ensure your scanned documents cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware.

Hosted across multiple geographically distributed South African data centers, we guarantee data sovereignty and near-instant recovery times in the event of a catastrophic failure.
