Backup & Disaster Recovery
Ask most companies whether they have backups and the answer is 'yes'. Ask when they last restored one, and the room goes quiet.
We set up backups that run on their own, keep a copy that ransomware can't touch, store another copy off-site – and we test restores regularly, so you know the plan works before you need it.
three copies, two types of media, one copy off-site – the rule that beats ransomware
A backup only counts if it restores
Hardware fails, people delete files and ransomware encrypts servers. Without a tested backup, a single incident can wipe out years of accounts, designs and records. Disaster recovery means you know how quickly you can be running again – and you have tested it.

- 01Servers and laptops are backed up automatically every night or hour
- 02A locked, immutable copy protects against ransomware
- 03An off-site copy and DR site keep you running even if the building is lost
Backup & recovery methods
3-2-1 backup rule
Three copies of data, on two different media, with one copy off-site or in the cloud.
Immutable & offline backups
Backups that cannot be changed or deleted for a set period – ransomware can't touch them.
Image-level & application backup
Whole servers, virtual machines, databases and Microsoft 365 mailboxes.
RPO & RTO targets
How much data you can afford to lose (RPO) and how fast you must recover (RTO) decide the design.
DR site & cloud failover
Critical servers replicated to a second site or the cloud, ready to start if the main site is lost.
Everything in the scope
Automatic local and off-site/cloud backups
Immutable backups against ransomware
Server and laptop backup
Recovery testing and documented runbooks
Backup monitoring and alerts
Backup hardware and services

Why our backups are trusted
We agree RPO/RTO with you and design to meet them – in writing.
We test restores regularly and share the results; a backup is only real if it restores.
Failed jobs raise an alert the same day.
