Data & Infrastructure
Cloud comfort, without surrendering control.
ArcheoBase handles the servers, the updates, the maintenance, and the backups. You keep something more important: the ability to download every byte of your data, yourself, at any time.
Zero IT burden
Your data is hosted on AWS enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure in Zurich, exclusively in Switzerland, and replicated in real time across two geographically separated data centers with automatic failover.
Access from anywhere. Field, office, lab, depot: one live database, always in sync, on any device.
Nothing to install, nothing to maintain. No local servers, no updates, no patches. ArcheoBase manages the entire technical stack.
Encrypted end to end. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, with encryption keys generated and controlled outside the cloud provider's infrastructure.
Export everything.
Yourself. Anytime.
You never need to ask permission, or pay, to take your data. A full export function is available to you at all times, guaranteed by contract.
Any table, one click.
Every data table exports to Excel on demand: stratigraphic units, finds, photos, any form in the system.
A whole intervention, two flavors.
Export an entire intervention in one operation: structured tables alone, or everything including photos, drawings, and documents.
Relationships survive the export.
Exports include internal database identifiers that preserve the links between entities. You can fully rebuild your database in another system, or cross-reference your data with other software.
Original files, if you choose.
Original file formats of your media can be preserved and included in exports.

backups
While you hold the freedom to export, we hold the responsibility to never lose anything.
Daily snapshots, vault-locked. Automatic daily database backups retained 30 days, protected by a locking mechanism that prevents premature deletion or modification by anyone, including our own staff or the cloud provider.
Weekly snapshots retained one year.
Off-cloud copies. Additional weekly backups are maintained outside the cloud infrastructure, in Switzerland, one of them with an independent provider.
Tested, not assumed. Restorations are performed regularly. Recovery commitments: service back within 4 hours, at most 24 hours of data loss (RTO 4 h / RPO 24 h).
A copy on your own servers, automatically
For institutions that want full independence, an automated export can be set up to your own infrastructure: all structured data tables, photographs, drawings, and associated media, archived in standard formats on your servers, at regular intervals.
Optional service on quote: contact our team.
And if you ever leave
Your export function works until the last day, and access remains open 30 days after contract end for a complete, free export.
On written request, a full export of all your data is delivered within five business days.
