The Benefits of Managed Backups

Backups are vital so that you can recover or restore missing files and folders when you need them. But they’re also tedious to arrange and to check. So we offer:

Peace of mind about backups
It’s critical to know your backups are working properly. We can take care of this for you – offering a manual daily backup check, and a monthly “test restore” to make sure that systems and data can be recovered when really needed.

The audit trail you need
We track backup checks via our service desk – so we can fully audit how backups are working, with regular reports on test restores. When there are issues, tickets are automatically logged and assigned to an engineer to investigate and fix. Our proactive measures make us one of the best disaster recovery companies in the UK.
