Automated backups, tested recovery plans, and ransomware-proof storage — so that if the worst happens, your business can get back up and running fast.

Data loss isn't a question of if — it's a question of when. Here's what's at stake.

What We Provide
Backup solutions built around your business
We design, implement, and manage backup solutions that fit your data, your budget, and your recovery requirements.
Cloud Backup
Your data is automatically backed up to secure UK-based cloud storage. Encrypted in transit and at rest, with multiple retention points so you can restore from any point in time.
Local & Hybrid Backup
For businesses that need fast local restores, we configure on-site backup alongside cloud backup — giving you the speed of local recovery with the resilience of offsite storage.
Backup Monitoring & Testing
A backup that hasn't been tested is a backup you can't rely on. We monitor your backups daily and perform regular restore tests so you know your data is actually recoverable.
Disaster Recovery Planning
We work with you to create a clear disaster recovery plan — so if the worst happens, everyone knows exactly what to do, and your business can get back up and running as quickly as possible.
Ransomware Protection
Ransomware can encrypt your files within minutes. We configure immutable backups that cannot be altered or deleted by ransomware, giving you a clean restore point even after an attack.
Fast Recovery
When you need to restore data, speed matters. We design backup solutions with recovery time in mind — whether you need a single file or a full system restore, we get you back up quickly.
Microsoft 365 is not automatically backed up
Many businesses assume Microsoft backs up their Microsoft 365 data. They don't — Microsoft's shared responsibility model means your email, Teams messages, SharePoint files, and OneDrive data are your responsibility to protect. We configure dedicated Microsoft 365 backup so nothing is left to chance.
- Email backup with full history
- Teams messages and files
- SharePoint and OneDrive
- Point-in-time restore
How It Works
Getting protected is simple
01
Assess Your Data
We review what data you have, where it lives, and how critical it is — so we can design a backup solution that fits your actual needs.
02
Design the Solution
We recommend the right combination of cloud, local, or hybrid backup — with appropriate retention periods and recovery time objectives.
03
Set Up & Test
We configure everything, run a full test restore, and confirm your backups are working correctly before we hand over.
04
Monitor & Maintain
We monitor your backups daily, alert you to any issues, and perform regular restore tests — so you always know your data is safe.
FAQs
Common questions about backup & recovery
Have a question we haven't answered? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
Ask a QuestionHow often are backups taken?
It depends on your requirements. For most small businesses we configure daily backups as a minimum, with more frequent backups available for critical systems. We'll recommend the right frequency based on how much data you can afford to lose.
Where is my data stored?
We use UK-based cloud storage providers to ensure your data stays within the UK and complies with UK data protection requirements. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
With immutable backups in place, ransomware cannot touch your backup data. We isolate the affected systems, restore from a clean backup point, and help you get back up and running — typically within hours rather than days.
Can you back up Microsoft 365 data?
Yes. Microsoft 365 has limited built-in backup capabilities — Microsoft is not responsible for your data. We configure dedicated Microsoft 365 backup covering email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
How long does it take to restore data?
Individual file restores are typically completed within minutes. Full system restores depend on the size of the data and the recovery method, but we design solutions with your recovery time objectives in mind.
