Whether you’re a growing SME or an established enterprise across the UK, our tailored solutions give you the peace of mind that your data is always protected and recoverable.

Our Solutions

Comprehensive Backup & Disaster Recovery Services

A complete suite of managed IT backup and recovery solutions designed to protect your business data across every environment — on-premises, cloud, or hybrid.

☁️

Cloud Backup Services

Automated, encrypted backups to secure UK-based cloud infrastructure. Maintain multiple restore points with granular file and folder recovery options. Scale effortlessly as your data grows without capital expenditure.

🖥️

On-Premises Server Backup

Protect your physical and virtual server environments with scheduled, incremental backups. Our solutions support Windows Server, VMware, Hyper-V, and Linux environments, ensuring complete on-site data protection.

📧

Microsoft 365 & Email Backup

Microsoft does not provide a full backup of your 365 data. We do. Our Microsoft 365 backup service protects Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data with point-in-time recovery and long-term retention.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Rapidly restore your entire IT environment following a catastrophic failure, cyberattack, or natural disaster. Our DRaaS solution provides near-instant failover with recovery time objectives (RTO) as low as 15 minutes.

🔄

Business Continuity Planning

We work alongside your leadership team to develop, implement, and test a bespoke Business Continuity Plan (BCP). Ensure your staff, processes, and technology can operate without interruption during and after an incident.

🗄️

Hybrid Backup Solutions

Combine the speed of local backup with the resilience of offsite cloud replication. Our hybrid approach follows the industry-leading 3-2-1 backup rule — three copies, two media types, one offsite — for maximum data protection.

🔒

Ransomware-Proof Backup

Defend against the rising threat of ransomware with immutable backup copies that cannot be encrypted, deleted, or tampered with. Air-gapped and versioned backups mean you can always recover clean data — without paying a ransom.

🧪

Backup Testing & Validation

An untested backup is an unreliable backup. We conduct regular automated and manual restore tests to verify that your backups are complete, uncorrupted, and recoverable. Receive detailed test reports for compliance and auditing purposes.

📋

Compliance & GDPR Data Retention

Maintain regulatory compliance with configurable retention policies aligned to GDPR, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and industry-specific frameworks. Ensure your data is retained, accessible, and disposed of in accordance with UK law.

The Risks of Inaction

What Happens Without a Backup & Recovery Strategy?

Businesses that operate without a robust backup and disaster recovery plan face severe consequences. These are the most common threats UK organisations encounter.

Ransomware & Cyberattacks

Ransomware attacks on UK businesses increased by over 80% in recent years. Without clean, immutable backups, organisations face paying huge ransoms or losing data permanently — often both.

Hardware & Infrastructure Failure

Servers, storage arrays, and hard drives fail without warning. A single hardware failure without a reliable backup strategy can result in permanent, unrecoverable data loss for your business.

Human Error & Accidental Deletion

Accidental file deletion, overwrites, and misconfigured systems account for a significant proportion of data loss incidents. Without granular restore capabilities, recovery is simply not possible.

Natural Disasters & Physical Incidents

Flooding, fire, and power outages can destroy on-site infrastructure in moments. Without offsite backup and disaster recovery, your business data could be lost along with the premises.

Regulatory Fines & Compliance Breaches

Failure to protect and retain data in accordance with GDPR and other UK regulations can result in significant financial penalties from the ICO, reputational damage, and loss of client trust.

Extended Downtime & Revenue Loss

Without a tested disaster recovery plan, restoring operations can take days or weeks. Every hour of downtime translates directly into lost revenue, missed opportunities, and disgruntled customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about backup and disaster recovery? We’ve answered the most common queries from UK businesses below.

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery? +
Backup refers to the process of creating copies of your data so it can be restored if lost or corrupted. Disaster recovery (DR) is a broader strategy that encompasses the processes, tools, and procedures required to restore your entire IT environment — systems, applications, and data — following a major incident. A good disaster recovery plan includes backup, but also covers failover infrastructure, communication plans, and recovery testing to ensure business continuity.
How often will my data be backed up? +
Backup frequency is tailored to your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. We can configure backups to run daily, hourly, or continuously depending on how critical your data is. For most UK businesses, a combination of continuous incremental backups and daily full backups provides the optimal balance of protection and performance.
Where is my backup data stored? +
All your backup data is stored in UK-based, Tier 3 certified data centres. We never store your data outside the UK without your explicit consent, ensuring compliance with UK GDPR and data sovereignty requirements. We follow the 3-2-1 backup methodology — three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy stored offsite.
Can you back up our Microsoft 365 data? +
Absolutely. Many organisations mistakenly believe Microsoft provides full data backup for Microsoft 365. In reality, Microsoft’s native tools offer only limited short-term recovery options. Our Microsoft 365 backup service provides comprehensive, long-term backup of Exchange Online emails, SharePoint sites, OneDrive files, and Microsoft Teams data — with granular, point-in-time restore capabilities.
How quickly can you recover our data or systems? +
Recovery times depend on the scope of the incident and your agreed Recovery Time Objective (RTO). For individual file restoration, recovery can often be achieved within minutes. For full server or environment recovery using our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution, we target RTOs as low as 15 minutes, ensuring your business is back up and running as swiftly as possible.
Will you test our disaster recovery plan? +
Yes — and we strongly believe this is non-negotiable. A backup that has never been tested is a backup you cannot rely upon. We conduct regular, documented restore tests and full disaster recovery exercises on your behalf. You receive detailed reports confirming what was tested, the results, and any remedial actions taken — giving you genuine confidence in your recovery capability.
Is your backup solution GDPR compliant? +
Yes. Our backup and disaster recovery solutions are designed with UK GDPR compliance at their core. We assist you in configuring appropriate data retention schedules, ensuring personal data is not retained beyond its lawful purpose, and providing the documentation required to demonstrate compliance to the ICO or your clients. All data is stored securely within the UK in line with data sovereignty requirements.
