When Disaster Strikes, Be Ready
Hardware fails. Ransomware attacks. Accidents happen. Your business data doesn't have to be a casualty.
Protect Your Data TodayYour Data is Your Business. Protect It.
At some point, all computer hardware fails. It's not if, it's when. Whether from age, accident, or attack, data loss can cripple your business in seconds. That's why an effective Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution isn't optional - it's essential.
93% Never Recover
93% of companies that lose their data for 10+ days file for bankruptcy within a year. Don't become a statistic - proper backups are your business lifeline.
Ransomware Reality
UK businesses are attacked every 19 seconds. When ransomware strikes, proper backups mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and closure.
Every Minute Costs
Downtime costs UK SMBs an average of £3,000 per hour. With proper backup, recovery takes minutes, not days. Can your business afford to wait?
Why Your Business Needs Professional Backup
Protect Against Data Loss
Hardware failures, software bugs, cyber-attacks, and human error are inevitable. Professional backups ensure you always have a clean copy to restore.
Rapid Recovery
When disaster strikes - fire, flood, or failure - recent backups mean you're back in business in minutes, not weeks.
Compliance Ready
Meet GDPR, industry regulations, and insurance requirements with documented backup procedures.
Customer Trust
Your customers trust you with their data. Robust backup proves you take that responsibility seriously.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule - Industry Gold Standard
Three Copies of Your Data
Keep at least three copies of important data - the original plus two backups. If one fails, you still have redundancy.
Two Different Storage Types
Store copies on two different media types - local drives and cloud storage, protecting against device-specific failures.
One Off-Site Backup
Keep at least one backup off-site (cloud or remote location) to protect against local disasters like fire, flood, or theft.
Pro Tip: Test Your Backups!
A backup you haven't tested is just hope. We regularly test restore procedures to ensure your data is actually recoverable when you need it most.
Complete Protection: On-Site + Off-Site Backups
On-Site Backups
Lightning-Fast Recovery
Local backups stored in your office for immediate access when you need them.
Advantages:
- Speed: Restore files in minutes, not hours
- Control: Your data stays on your premises
- No Internet Required: Works even when broadband is down
- Large Files: Quickly restore massive databases
Limitations:
- Vulnerable to local disasters
- Can be affected by ransomware
Off-Site Backups
Disaster-Proof Protection
Cloud backups stored securely away from your office for ultimate protection.
Advantages:
- Disaster Protection: Safe from fire, flood, and theft
- Ransomware Resistant: Isolated from local attacks
- Work Anywhere: Restore data from any location
- Automatic: Set and forget cloud synchronisation
Considerations:
- Requires reliable internet connection
- Slower for large restorations
Best Practice: Use Both!
Smart businesses use both on-site and off-site backups. Fast local recovery for everyday needs, plus bulletproof cloud protection for true disasters. That's the approach we recommend.

Common Misconception
"Microsoft/Google backs up my data, right?" WRONG!
They protect their infrastructure, not your data. Deleted emails, corrupted files,
and ransomware? That's on you.
