Managed Backups

Backups you’ve actually seen work.

Your data backups should be safe – not just a job that runs quietly and hopes for the best.

An untested backup is a guess, not a plan.

Losing a file is inconvenient. Losing three days to restore it is a crisis. Recovery time is the number that actually matters – not whether a backup exists somewhere, but how fast you’re genuinely back to work when you need to be. While a server sits down, your team is still being paid, but nothing’s moving – invoices don’t go out, client work stalls, and every hour adds up to a cost that never shows up as its own line on any bill.

Most businesses only discover the real gap between “we have a backup” and “we can actually recover” once it’s already too late to matter – when the restore that was supposed to take an hour is still running two days later, and the bill for that delay is being paid in lost billable time, missed deadlines, and clients starting to ask uncomfortable questions.

A backup nobody’s timed isn’t a recovery plan. It’s a guess with a price tag attached.

What’s included

Backup that’s proven to work,
not just scheduled to run.

Server & Workstation Backup

Automated, scheduled backups across your physical and virtual servers, laptops and desktops – monitored daily, with alerts if a job fails.

Microsoft 365 & Cloud App Backup

Email, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data backed up independently of Microsoft – native retention isn’t the same as a real backup.

Immutable, Ransomware-Resilient Backup

Backup architecture designed so an attack on your live systems can’t reach or encrypt your recovery point too.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

For critical systems, standby infrastructure ready to bring you back online fast after a major failure – systems running again, not just files restored.

Fully Tested and Audited Restores

We test recovery, not just backup jobs, so you know it actually works before the day you need it.

Business Continuity Planning

A documented, practiced plan for what happens if the worst does happen – who does what, in what order, and how fast you’re back.

Our approach

Backup that’s tested,
not just switched on.

Assess

We identify what actually needs protecting, and where your current backup, if you have one, falls short.

Design

A backup architecture matched to your recovery time and recovery point needs, not a one-size default schedule.

Deploy

Automated backups and immutable storage set up and monitored from day one.

Test & review

Scheduled restore testing and ongoing reporting, so recovery is proven, not assumed.
