    BACKUP, RECOVERY & RESILIENCE

    Reliable backup and business continuity services help protect critical data, reduce downtime and support faster recovery when disruption happens.

    A reliable backup strategy is not just about keeping another copy of your data. It needs to consider what information matters most, how quickly systems need to be restored, where backups are stored, how they are protected and whether recovery can be tested properly.

From Microsoft 365 and cloud platforms to servers, devices and business-critical data, we help put practical safeguards in place so your organisation is better prepared for disruption.

  • Backup and business continuity FAQs

    FAQs

    Common questions about business backup, disaster recovery and protecting critical systems from disruption.

    • What is the difference between backup and business continuity?

      Backup focuses on protecting and restoring data. Business continuity looks more broadly at how your organisation keeps operating during disruption, including systems, processes, people and recovery priorities.

    • Does Microsoft 365 need a separate backup?

      Many businesses choose dedicated Microsoft 365 backup to add protection for important email, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data. This can improve recovery options if data is deleted, changed or affected by an incident.

    • How often should business data be backed up?

      Backup frequency should depend on how important the data is and how much information the business could afford to lose. Critical systems may need more frequent backups than less essential data.

    • What is disaster recovery?

      Disaster recovery is the process of restoring systems, applications and data after an incident such as hardware failure, cyber attack, outage or serious data loss.

    • How do I know if my backups are working?

      Backups should be monitored and tested regularly. Testing helps confirm that data can be restored successfully and that recovery processes are clear before they are needed in a real incident.

    • Can backups help protect against ransomware?

      Backups are an important part of ransomware resilience because they can support recovery after an incident. They should be combined with wider cyber security controls, monitoring and recovery planning.
