Manchester's Trusted Data Protection Partner

Data loss is not a question of if — it is a question of when. Whether it is a ransomware attack, hardware failure, accidental deletion, or a natural disaster, the businesses that recover fastest are the ones that planned ahead.

At Binary Management Solutions, we have been helping Manchester businesses safeguard their critical data for over a decade. Our backup and recovery services are designed to eliminate the risk of prolonged downtime, protecting your revenue, reputation, and regulatory standing.

We understand that every organisation is different. That is why we do not offer one-size-fits-all packages. Instead, we conduct a thorough assessment of your infrastructure, identify vulnerabilities, and design a tailored backup strategy that meets your specific recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).

  • Automated daily, hourly, or continuous backups — your choice
  • Secure off-site and cloud storage with UK-based data centres
  • Instant virtualisation to keep you operational during recovery
  • Regular tested restores — so we know it works when you need it
  • Dedicated account manager based in Manchester

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you recover our data after a disaster? +
Recovery times depend on the volume of data and the nature of the incident, but our standard managed service targets a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of under 15 minutes for critical systems using instant virtualisation. For full physical restores across large environments, we typically achieve recovery within 2–4 hours. We agree specific RTOs and RPOs with you during onboarding and contractually commit to them.
Where is our data physically stored? +
All client data is stored exclusively within UK-based, Tier 3 and Tier 4 certified data centres. We do not use overseas cloud regions for primary storage. This ensures compliance with UK GDPR, data residency requirements, and gives you full control and visibility over where your data lives.
Will backup and recovery services disrupt our daily operations? +
Not at all. Our backup agents are lightweight and designed to run in the background with negligible impact on system performance. Backup windows can be scheduled outside business hours, and our incremental backup technology means only changed data is transmitted — keeping network usage minimal at all times.
Does this cover Microsoft 365 and cloud applications? +
Yes. Microsoft's shared responsibility model means they are not obligated to protect your data against accidental deletion, ransomware, or malicious internal actors. Our Microsoft 365 backup service covers Exchange Online emails, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams — giving you independent, searchable backups you control completely.
How do you protect backups from ransomware? +
We implement immutable backup copies that cannot be modified or deleted — not even by administrators — for a defined retention period. Combined with air-gapped off-site copies and encryption in transit and at rest, our architecture ensures that even a successful ransomware attack on your primary environment leaves you with clean, intact restore points.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery? +
Backup is the process of copying and storing your data safely. Disaster recovery is the broader strategy that determines how your entire IT environment — not just data, but systems, applications, and processes — is restored and operations resumed after a major incident. A backup is a component of disaster recovery, but disaster recovery encompasses planning, failover, testing, and communication procedures as well.
How much do backup and recovery services cost in Manchester? +
Our pricing is transparent and fixed monthly. Costs depend on the volume of data, frequency of backups, retention period, and level of service required. Most small and medium-sized Manchester businesses invest between £150 and £600 per month for fully managed protection. We offer a free assessment and no-obligation quote — contact our team to get a figure specific to your environment.
