Backup & recovery

Backups you've actually tested.

A backup only matters on the day you need it. We protect servers, workstations and cloud data with layered, immutable backups — then prove they work with scheduled restore tests and a written recovery plan.

Backup & Disaster Recovery, covered properly.

Tested backups for servers, PCs and Microsoft 365, with a clear plan to be back in business after any disaster.

  • 01

    Server & workstation backup

    Image-based backups that can restore a single file or an entire machine.

    Backup monitoring

    Every job is checked daily; failures are fixed before they become gaps.

Questions

Backup & Disaster Recovery: common questions.

Doesn't Microsoft already back up our 365 data?

Microsoft keeps the service running, but its retention is limited. Separate backups protect against accidental deletion, ransomware and departing employees.

How often are backups taken?

Typically every hour for servers and daily for workstations and Microsoft 365, adjusted to how much data you can afford to lose.

How long would it take to recover?

It depends on the system and plan. We set recovery time targets with you and test against them.
