There is often no more significant trauma to any business than losing precious data. Research has shown that in the case of a total data loss, 90% of companies that fail to protect their critical business data go out of business within two years without backup and disaster recovery solutions.
Our managed backup and disaster recovery service lets you design a data-saving strategy based on your business requirements.
Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategy
The difference between backup and disaster recovery is significant. Backup copies your data, and disaster recovery ensures your resources continue running even if a disaster strikes. Disaster Recovery ( DR ) is configured in addition to a backup. If you need to restore specific files, you must use backup restore instead of Disaster Recovery. Cost differences between backup and disaster recovery are also significant. Backup and disaster recovery vendors offer managed backup and disaster recovery services to ensure the successful storage of your disk-based and cloud-based data with daily incremental & version history support. We also give you the tools to perform data restores & ensure the security of your critical business data.
This fully managed service is secure, dependable, and complies with GDPR. All your Server storage data will be stored online in a data centre of your choice, delivering the best data protection and security measures.
The managed backup solution supports all Microsoft operating systems, databases, and third-party software applications. The cost is calculated by the data you anticipate storing and the data retention period. Our plan allows you to choose time slots to start your daily incremental backups once a full backup is complete.
Secure and Modern Data Centre Storage
We use data centre facilities with onsite engineers 24×7, fully redundant storage configurations, uninterrupted power supplies and redundant connectivity, and seismically hardened structures. Access to the storage infrastructure is strictly controlled and monitored with physical and digital safeguards. Backup and restore reports are available through a web-based portal.
Restoring Data
Restoring data is simple. The customer-initiated restore console gives you complete control over data backup and disaster recovery. Alternatively, our Managed Storage and restore engineers at Server Consultancy can help you with the data restore process.
Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan
A disaster Recovery Plan is a critical part of Business Continuity. In this technology-enabled world, no business is immune to misfortune. One of the most significant threats to all businesses is vital data loss. Hardware failure, natural disasters, and human error could lead to data loss.
A backup and disaster recovery plan enables you to recover data and systems in a disaster and provides the company’s business continuity goals. A disaster recovery plan includes a checklist of critical IT systems and networks, prioritising the recovery time objective and outlining the strategy to restart, reconfigure and recover IT systems and data. It ensures the efficient handover of electronic information should the IT support professional be sick, on holiday, or moved to another role. Server Consultancy provides an extensive business continuity plan to mitigate the impact of a catastrophic event on your business.
Creating a written Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan document perfectly matches a business’s goals with IT tools, services, and procedures. It is also a powerful instrument for IT managers or directors to obtain IT budgets to meet business continuity goals.
General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR)
Article 32(1), sections (a)-(d) of the GDPR law mandates that businesses have a backup and disaster recovery plan in place and that this plan be tested regularly. Companies must be able to restore the availability and access to personal data on time in a physical or technical incident. Moreover, the GDPR rules mandate encryption of personal data and ensure confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services.
The Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is integral to Business Continuity. Businesses without one are subject to sanctions up to 4% of turnover or £ 20 million, more significant under Article 32 of GDPR.
A Wide Range of Disaster Recovery Solutions
We offer a range of DR solutions, including Azure Site Recovery, which provides recovery solutions tailored to your business requirements. The backbone of any backup and disaster recovery solution is regular automated backups of your entire business-critical data. Backups could be stored onsite alongside your primary IT infrastructure. However, by choosing to keep the backup off-site, it is safe from onsite threats (such as fire and flooding).
Backup & Disaster Recovery solutions can quickly create a comprehensive full backup from the cloud without impacting day-to-day business operations. In the event of a disaster, your complete data can be accessed promptly and restored, reducing the impact on your productivity to an absolute minimum.
The exact nature of any of our solutions depends on the needs and characteristics of our business customers. The number of servers in the business and the data volume are vital factors. Our engineers will consolidate the size of your data and growth rate, which are details amongst a broader range of factors, to determine the most effective and dependable DR solution.
Please don’t leave it to chance.

What is backup and disaster recovery?
Backup and disaster recovery are key elements of business continuity, but they serve different purposes.
–Backup makes regular copies of your critical data so you can recover it if it’s lost, deleted, or corrupted.
–Disaster recovery (DR) ensures your systems and operations can continue during a significant failure or crisis.
The two work hand-in-hand: backups protect data, disaster recovery restores your systems and keeps business running.
