Disaster recovery and cloud backup that keep you trading

What is disaster recovery and why does it matter?

Disaster recovery is the planning, technology and process that lets your business get its IT systems and data back up and running quickly after a serious disruption. That disruption could be a hardware failure, a cyber attack such as ransomware, accidental deletion, fire or flood, or a major software fault. Without a tested recovery plan, even a single failure can mean days of downtime, lost data and lost revenue, and for many businesses a prolonged outage is something they never fully recover from.

Disaster recovery as a service, often shortened to DRaaS, takes this burden off your shoulders. Rather than buying and maintaining duplicate infrastructure yourself, you use our managed platform to replicate your critical systems and data so they can be restored fast when you need them. Combined with secure cloud backup, it gives you a dependable safety net: if the worst happens, your business keeps going. We design, manage and regularly test the whole process so you can be confident it will work when it matters.

Cloud backup vs disaster recovery

Cloud backup and disaster recovery are related but not the same, and most businesses need both. Cloud backup keeps secure, off-site copies of your data so that individual files, mailboxes or databases can be restored if they are lost, corrupted or encrypted by ransomware. It protects your information. Disaster recovery goes further, focusing on how quickly you can restore entire systems and resume operations after a major incident, not just recover individual files.

Two measures matter here: your recovery point objective, which is how much data you can afford to lose measured in time, and your recovery time objective, which is how quickly you need to be operational again. We help you define realistic targets for each critical system, then design a backup and disaster recovery solution that meets them within your budget. Regular testing proves the targets can actually be achieved, so your plan is a genuine guarantee rather than a document that sits untested until the day it fails.

A backup you have never tested is just a hope. Our managed disaster recovery and cloud backup service includes regular, documented testing so you have real evidence that your systems can be recovered within the time you need. We monitor every backup, alert on any failures, keep secure off-site and immutable copies to defend against ransomware, and maintain a clear recovery runbook for your business.
