1C:Cloud Archive is a service for automatic backup of 1C databases to a remote cloud storage. Simply put: your accounting, payroll, or trade database is regularly copied to protected servers without your involvement, and if something happens to your work computer or server, the data can be restored in minutes. This is relevant for any company that keeps records in 1C and doesn't want to one day discover that the database is lost.
Who is it for
The service is suitable for all 1C users — from a small company with one accounting database to an enterprise with several information databases. It is especially important for those who:
- store the database locally (on an office computer or server) without a dedicated administrator monitoring backups;
- have already experienced data loss due to a disk failure, ransomware virus, fire, or human error;
- want to eliminate manual routine — making backups "by hand" and not forgetting about it.
What tasks it solves and what's included
In essence, the service solves one, but critically important task — preventing the loss of accounting data. What it provides for this:
- Automatic backup of databases on a set schedule — without human involvement or the risk that someone forgets to make a backup;
- Cloud storage protected from physical threats — fire, equipment failure, theft of hardware;
- Data encryption — backups are protected from unauthorized access;
- Fast recovery — you can roll back to any saved point in minutes, instead of re-entering records from scratch;
- Status notifications — you see that the backup was successful, instead of learning about a problem after the fact;
- Equipment savings — no need to buy and maintain your own storage for backups.
When to get it and when it's not needed
It's worth getting if you don't have a built-out backup process — that is, backups are either not made at all, or are made manually and irregularly. It's also worth connecting if the database is stored on a single computer/server without duplication, and its loss would mean serious damage to the business (and for most companies this is exactly the case — losing a 1C database means losing the history of transactions, documents, and settlements with counterparties).
If you already have a reliable backup system — for example, an IT department has set up regular backups to its own servers with recovery testing — a separate cloud archive may be redundant. But in practice, small and medium businesses rarely have such a system built systematically, so the service closes a real risk, not an imaginary one.
The card does not contain specific figures on price, plans, or storage volume — this should be clarified directly when connecting.
