Storage Infrastructure
LOX manages all storage infrastructure automatically. Your backups are securely stored across multiple redundant locations without any configuration required.
Zero Configuration Required
Unlike traditional backup solutions, LOX handles all storage infrastructure for you. Simply upload your backups and we take care of redundancy, geographic distribution, and long-term archival.
How LOX Storage Works
Multi-Region
Backups are automatically replicated across multiple geographic regions for disaster recovery.
Encrypted
All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Keys are managed securely.
Immutable
Object Lock prevents deletion or modification of backups during retention period.
Data Residency
You can choose where your data is stored based on compliance requirements. Configure this in Dashboard → Compliance → Data Residency.

On-Premise Storage (Enterprise)
Self-Hosted Option
For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements, air-gapped environments, or regulatory mandates, LOX supports on-premise storage using MinIO or S3-compatible storage.
Contact enterprise@backlox.com to discuss on-premise deployment options.
On-Premise Requirements
For on-premise deployments, your infrastructure must meet these requirements:
- S3-Compatible Storage: MinIO, Ceph, or any S3-compatible object storage
- TLS Certificate: Valid SSL/TLS certificate for secure communication
- Network Access: LOX agents must be able to reach the storage endpoint
- Storage Capacity: Minimum 1TB recommended, with room for growth
MinIO Setup Example
For on-premise deployments, here's a sample MinIO configuration:
# docker-compose.yml for MinIO
version: '3.8'
services:
minio:
image: minio/minio:latest
command: server /data --console-address ":9001"
ports:
- "9000:9000"
- "9001:9001"
environment:
MINIO_ROOT_USER: lox-backup
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MINIO_PASSWORD}
volumes:
- minio_data:/data
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
minio_data:Enterprise Support Required
On-premise storage configuration requires an Enterprise plan. Our team will help configure and validate your storage infrastructure during onboarding.
Storage Tiers
| Tier | Retention | Access Time | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | 0-30 days | Instant | Recent backups, quick restores |
| Warm | 30-90 days | < 1 minute | Medium-term retention |
| Cold | 90+ days | 1-12 hours | Long-term archival, compliance |
LOX automatically moves backups between tiers based on age and access patterns.
FAQ
Do I need to set up my own S3 bucket?
No. LOX manages all cloud storage infrastructure. You simply upload backups and we handle the rest. The only exception is Enterprise customers who specifically require on-premise storage.
Can I bring my own storage provider?
For Enterprise plans with on-premise requirements, yes. Contact our team to discuss integration with your existing storage infrastructure.
How is my data protected?
All data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. We use Object Lock for immutability and replicate across multiple availability zones.
What happens if I exceed my storage quota?
You'll receive alerts as you approach your limit. Backups will continue but you'll need to upgrade your plan or delete old backups to stay within quota.
