Overview
Backup & Recovery
We protect the data and systems your organisation depends on with automated, encrypted backups and a tested plan to recover them. Our work covers backup strategy, on-site and cloud backup, server and database backup, Microsoft 365 and email backup, ransomware-resistant (immutable and offline) copies, disaster recovery planning, failover, recovery testing and monitoring.
The problem
Backups that nobody checks, copies kept on the same server they protect, and no written plan for the day a disk dies, a laptop is stolen or ransomware locks every file. Most organisations only discover their backup does not work when they need it.
Part of our Digital and Technology Management Services service.

-
Step 03 2–4 days Backup design
Local, off-site and cloud copies are planned on the 3-2-1 rule, with encryption, retention and ransomware-resistant copies.

FAQ
Common questions
Where are our backups stored?
Usually in at least two places: a local copy for fast restores and an encrypted off-site or cloud copy, following the 3-2-1 rule. The design depends on your data, budget and recovery targets.
Will backups protect us from ransomware?
Backups that are immutable or kept offline cannot be encrypted by ransomware, so clean data can be restored. We combine them with security measures that reduce the chance of an attack in the first place.
How do we know the backups work?
We run scheduled test restores and send reports, so recovery is proven before you need it.
