What to back up and how often
We identify important data and the amount of lost changes that would cause a problem. For businesses, we also consider acceptable downtime. These needs determine backup rules and frequency.
A copy is not enough.You need to restore it.
Photos, work documents and business systems each need an appropriate backup approach. We help choose storage, configure schedules and check the usability of available backups.
Automatic backups and suitable storage
We recommend local or cloud storage based on data volume and systems. We help automate backups and define retention rules. The solution must suit your operations and connectivity.
Checking that backups are running
Backup results need checking. We help configure monitoring and error handling within the agreed management scope. An unnoticed failure may leave a backup unusable when needed.
Restoring files or systems
We help restore available backup data and check its usability. Recovery options and timing depend on the backup, equipment and scale of the issue. We assess available copies and agree on the approach first.
For homes and businesses
Homes typically need to protect photos and documents; businesses also need shared files, databases and servers. The complexity of the solution reflects what you need to protect.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONSBefore we
Before we
get started.
Is file synchronisation the same as a backup?
Not always. Deletions or unwanted changes may synchronise to other devices. Usable older copies are essential.
Can you recover data without a backup?
This service covers recovery from available backups. If data is lost without a backup, we first assess the situation and appropriate next steps; success cannot be promised in advance.
