-We at IXVD chose to deprecate our old server "neo" to make place for a new server architecture.
-
-EUX will stays the same however internally we redesigned the infrastructure to be even more secure*
-
-# What changed?
-We are still using the same service provider, however we're using their cloud option.  
-This platform allows for scaling, as this project's funding comes out of our own pockets, being able to scale down is a nice plus.  
-Also, with the new architecture we can easily add new services and not have to worry about interference of ports or such since we can spin up a new server for it, again a big plus.
-We're also able to monitor services without an external party; with our old server, if it we're to turn off we would not know without an external party notifying us.
-
-# Pricing
-Our old server had a monthly cost of about 50 euros**.
-With the new architecture it's at about 40 euros** which can easily scale up or down depending on use.

+# Restic as backup.
+
+We use restic as backup tool because we use multiple servers in our infrastructure and restic allows for compact backups.  
+
+We can enforce a policy to keep all data but lose the ability to "snipe" a backup from a specific date.. over time.
+To view the current policy, check out ixvd/hub/backup-policy.txt.
