Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups you can actually restore from, and a plan for when things go wrong.

Many businesses only discover their backups don’t work when they need them. Ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion or a departing employee can all take data with them. We design backup and recovery around what your business can’t afford to lose and how quickly you need to be running again, then test it regularly so you know it works.

What We Protect

  • Windows and Linux servers and virtual machines, including Proxmox, VMware and Hyper‑V
  • Microsoft 365 mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams
  • Google Workspace mail and Drive
  • NAS and file shares
  • Network device configurations (firewalls, switches and routers)

Our Approach

  1. Agree recovery targets: how much data you can afford to lose and how fast you need it back.
  2. Multiple copies: local backups for fast restores, plus offsite or cloud copies protected from ransomware.
  3. Test restores: backups are checked by actually restoring from them, not just by reading a success email.
  4. Documented recovery plan: clear steps for who does what when something goes wrong.

Why Choose Us for Backup?

  • Server and virtualisation specialists: we understand what we’re backing up and how to bring it back. See Server & Virtualisation.
  • Network‑aware: offsite replication is planned around your bandwidth and connectivity.
  • Right‑sized: no over‑engineered systems you don’t need.

From Small Jobs to Large Projects, Same Standards

Our core team and extended Strategic Partner Network let us scale from a single site visit to large, multi‑site projects, without dropping the standards you see on day one. The same project management, testing and documentation apply whatever the size of the job.

  • Unix & Linux specialists, genuinely agnostic: comfortable at the command line as well as the GUI, with heavy Windows and Mac experience, so we can offer real choices (sometimes up to 70% cheaper) and design for whoever will manage it.
  • Multiskilled team, lean budgets: our engineers cover several disciplines, so you don’t pay for extra trades, duplicated visits or handovers between contractors.
  • Scale when you need it: vetted partners add capacity and specialist skills for larger projects, managed by us to the same standards.
  • Investing in people, tools and software: ongoing training, quality test equipment and our in-house AI Engineering Suite keep work fast, accurate and well documented, onsite and remote.
  • Human first, supported by AI: people lead every job, with AI handling the admin, and a Kaizen culture of honest feedback and continuous improvement.
  • Less waste, better value: right‑sized solutions, no unnecessary kit and no wasted site time. A lean, clean operation means more of your budget goes into the work itself.
