MX Backup Services
Be prepared before disaster strikes with mx failover service.
What Is MX Backup?
Have you ever gone out of town and forwarded your mail to the post office until you return? An MX backup service does essentially the same thing with your emails. When your regular email server is down, an MX backup service will store incoming emails and send them to you when your email system is back online.
All of Webservio's MX backup services include automatic failover and email security features. If your mail server goes down and you don't have MX failover, any emails sent to your employees will bounce back to the sender as undeliverable. An MX Backup solution prevents emails from bouncing back!
MX Backup Services Solutions for MX failover protection
Mail Bagging
Webservio's Mail Bagging system provides greater flexibility than other MX Backup options. It includes filtering of stored messages to prevent delivery of blatant spam, but it is not meant to take the place of your existing firewall or SaaS email security solution. In fact, a big advantage of Mail Bagging is its ability to work with your existing email configuration, including complex situations with multiple mail servers or domains.

MX Backup FAQs
An MX backup service does not allow you to send or receive emails. It only stores the messages. With some failover services, you can see the email subject and maybe even read email contents. But in order to send and receive messages like you normally would, you need an email continuity service.
Without an email failover solution, service timeouts will occur and email sent to your company will bounce (be returned to sender). To most users, bounced (undelivered) messages are unreadable, and they may not try to resend the email. Important communications could be missed.
The length of failover coverage varies depending on which service you choose. Webservio's MX backup options vary from 2.5 days up to 30 days or more. Most services work on a first in first out basis. This means that after the time limit has been reached, the oldest emails will be replaced by newer incoming messages.
The cost for MX failover service is very affordable. Choose Webservio's MX backup services in an economical shared environment or choose a VPS environment for larger deployments with more administrative control. See the plans.
