Backup made in the EU
Backups you can trust.
AegisGrid is more than backup and recovery: a backup system that backs up servers, virtual machines and Microsoft 365 deduplicated and encrypted, keeps working with the backups on the backup server, restores them as a test and proves every step with a signature. Developed in Germany. If you wish, we run it for you as Managed Backup, and for the off-site copy there is our cloud storage in Germany.

For everyone who carries responsibility
One solution, three perspectives
Management needs certainty, IT management a strategy that holds, and administrators a tool that works reliably every day. AegisGrid is built for all three.
Keep working when it matters
Protection against ransomware and data loss, signed evidence for GDPR, NIS2 and critical infrastructure, and a provider based in Germany.
More for management IT managementA backup strategy that works out
Several destinations in one run, immutable copies, regular checks and check restores – the 3-2-1-1-0 rule in one run, with proof.
More for IT management Administration & engineeringTechnology you can follow
Content-defined deduplication, zstd compression, TLS with certificate pinning, VSS and LVM, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Xen and an HTTPS API.

Everything a backup has to do today
Every backup is complete in itself and can be restored on its own – no chains of full and incremental backups that become useless when one link breaks.
Deduplication
Data is split into blocks by content; only what is not there yet is stored – across several computers, too.
Encryption
AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 per store, transfer over TLS with a pinned server certificate.
Protection against ransomware
WORM storage with a retention lock: until the lock expires, backups can be neither changed nor deleted. If unusually many files change, AegisGrid warns and holds on to the older versions.
Virtualisation
Back up whole VMs from Hyper-V, Proxmox VE and Xen with all disks and their configuration, restore them as a new VM or, on Proxmox VE and Xen, reset them in place to an earlier version.
Microsoft 365
Mailboxes with calendar, contacts and tasks as well as OneDrive and SharePoint – one by one or for the whole tenant.
Provably intact
Checks of all stored objects, automatic check restores that start the VMs in a sandbox, virus scans, and a signed log for NIS2 and BSI.
Backed up on the road, too: if a notebook is closed, switched off or its battery runs flat, the backup carries on afterwards where it stopped. Notebooks and mobile workplaces
Backup system
More than backup and recovery
AegisGrid grows with your requirements – from a single computer to the data centre, with the same software.
Simply back up
One computer, one USB disk or a NAS: to start with, you need neither a server nor a cloud.
3-2-1-1-0 in one run
The source is read once and up to eight destinations are written: local, immutable and off-site. About the rule
A backup server that keeps working
Incoming backups trigger jobs: check, mirror, export, clean up and restore as a test – starting the VMs in a sandbox. About the backup server
Provable for auditors
A chained, signed log, a copy to your SIEM and a signed report every month for NIS2, critical infrastructure and BSI. About the evidence
Managed Backup
We take care of it. You keep working.
With AegisGrid Managed Backup, MSD Computersysteme GmbH from the EU does the installation, keeps the backup servers and backup agents up to date and regularly checks whether your backups can be restored. You decide where the backups are kept – at your premises, at a second site or in the AegisGrid cloud storage.
- Operated by specialists in Germany – permanent contacts, no offshore call centre.
- Installation and updates – backup servers and agents always up to date.
- Restore tests – checked regularly, with a record.
- Daily monitoring – we see problems before they become emergencies.
- Guided restore – in an emergency we work on it together with you.
- Data processing under Art. 28 GDPR – with a contract, clearly arranged.
Trust
Why you can trust us
Backups contain everything that makes up a company. Whoever processes them should be subject to the law that applies to you, too.
German and European law
Provider, development and operation in Germany. Your backup data is not transferred to third countries.
Your keys stay with you
Without the key, an encrypted store reveals nothing about its contents – not even to whoever runs the storage.
Your data stays within reach
Your licence works without a permanent connection to us. If it ends, only new backups stop – restoring from your own systems always works, and nothing is ever deleted because of a licence.
People you can reach
Development and support sit together. Questions reach the people who build the software.
Partner programme
Systems house, MSP or data centre? Become a partner.
We are looking for IT service providers who want to offer their customers a backup made in the EU – as their own service or together with our Managed Backup and cloud storage. Data centres that provide backup servers for everyone are just as welcome. Every contribution counts: skills, involvement and customer revenue. We are building the partner programme now and shape it together with the first partners.
What partners can expect
- Your name, logo and contact in the setup, the consoles and the messages
- Messages per customer to the customer, to you or to both
- Several customers cleanly separated on one backup server
- Training, mentoring and partner meetings
- Support with pilot projects
- Fair partner terms
- A say in further development
FAQ
Answered briefly
What is AegisGrid?
AegisGrid is a backup system for businesses – more than backup and restore. It backs up files, whole drives, virtual machines (Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Xen) and Microsoft 365 deduplicated and encrypted, from a single computer onto a USB disk up to your own backup server, which keeps working with the backups, restores them as a test and keeps a verifiable log. The provider is MSD Computersysteme GmbH in Germany.
Where are my backups kept?
Wherever you decide. AegisGrid backs up to local disks and NAS storage, to your own backup server on site or at a second location, to S3-compatible object storage, and exports to tape or USB disk – up to eight destinations in one run. For the off-site copy you can use the AegisGrid cloud storage in certified data centres in Germany if you wish. A cloud is not a requirement.
Is AegisGrid GDPR-compliant?
AegisGrid is developed in Germany. You decide where your backups are kept – on site, at a second site of your own or in the AegisGrid cloud storage, which is located exclusively in certified data centres in Germany. For cloud storage and Managed Backup, MSD Computersysteme GmbH concludes a data processing agreement with you under Art. 28 GDPR. Data is encrypted before it is transferred.
Which systems can AegisGrid back up?
Windows and Linux servers, workstations and notebooks (files, volumes and whole disks, consistent through VSS or LVM snapshots), virtual machines on Hyper-V, Proxmox VE and Xen, and Microsoft 365 with Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint.
Does AegisGrid protect against ransomware?
Yes. Backups can be kept in WORM storage with a retention lock; until the lock expires they can be neither changed nor deleted. In addition, a second copy can be written to another location in the same run. For file backups, AegisGrid warns when unusually many files have changed and then does not clean up the older versions; the check restore looks for traces of ransomware in the backups and, if desired, for viruses.
What does AegisGrid cost?
The cost depends on the scope and the way it is run (your own operation or Managed Backup, with or without cloud storage). We will gladly make you an offer – ideally as part of a pilot project in your environment.
Try AegisGrid in your environment
In a pilot project we back up selected systems together and restore them as a test. That way you see how AegisGrid works in your environment before you decide.
