Backup and disaster recovery

A backup only counts if you can restore from it. We back up servers, key workstations and Microsoft 365 to the cloud, monitor every job, and test restores so you know it works before you need it.

What we back up

  • Servers and file shares, with image-level backups for fast full recovery
  • Workstations and laptops where data lives locally
  • Microsoft 365: Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams

How it's run

  • Cloud backups via Acronis, encrypted, with copies kept away from your premises
  • Every job monitored; failures are followed up, not left to pile up
  • Retention set to match your business and compliance needs
  • Periodic test restores, with results reported to you

Load shedding and hardware failure

Power cuts are hard on disks and servers. We'll look at UPS coverage and safe shutdown for critical kit alongside your backups, so a bad day doesn't become a lost week.

Common questions

Isn't OneDrive already a backup?

No. OneDrive syncs files, so if a file is deleted, encrypted by ransomware or overwritten, the change syncs everywhere. Microsoft's recycle bin and version history only go back a limited time. A separate backup keeps independent copies.

How long does it take to recover?

Single files or mailboxes are usually restored within minutes. Full server recovery depends on the size and setup, and we agree a realistic target with you up front.
