Naming a backup company is harder than it looks. We wanted four things: short, easy to say, honest about what it does, and available as a .com. Backvera hits all four – and the second half of the name carries the whole philosophy.
Back + vera
Back is the easy half – backup. Vera comes from Latin: verus / vera means true, real, trustworthy. Put them together and Backvera reads as a true backup – one you can actually rely on when it matters.
Why “true” is the whole point
Most sites have “a backup” somewhere. Far fewer have one they have actually tested, that lives somewhere other than the server it is meant to protect, and that a normal person can restore without a war room. A backup that cannot be restored cleanly is not really a backup – it is a false sense of security.
So we set a simple bar: a Backvera backup is only worth something if the restore is worth something. The name is a daily reminder of that.
What that looks like in the product
- Off your host. Copies live in Backvera Cloud, independent of your web host – so a host outage or a compromised server does not take your backups down with it.
- Restores you can run. Preview a restore with a dry run, keep a safety backup to roll back to, and restore the whole site, a few files, or a single database table.
- Continuous when it counts. Busy sites can switch to realtime, so recent work is protected within minutes rather than at the next nightly run.
A modern take on a boring problem
Backups are supposed to be boring – right up until the moment they are the most important thing you own. Our goal is a modern, no-drama version of that safety net: quiet in the background, obvious when you need it, and honest about what it can do.
Back for backup, vera for true. Backups and restores you can trust.
