Backup & Disaster Recovery (BCDR)

Ensure absolute data continuity. We architect immutable backup solutions and rapid failover protocols to protect your enterprise from ransomware, hardware failure, and operational downtime.

At a glance, our BCDR delivers:

Immutable Storage

Air-gapped backups that cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware operatives.

Rapid Failover

Spin up virtualised replicas of your critical servers in minutes, not days.

Optimised RTO & RPO

Strict Service Level Agreements defining exactly how much data you retain and how fast you recover.

Automated Testing

Routine, automated boot tests to mathematically prove your backups are viable.

SaaS Protection

Comprehensive archiving for Microsoft 365, ensuring cloud data is never permanently lost.

Data Sovereignty

Secure, UK-based tier-three data centres ensuring strict compliance with domestic regulations.

The Reliable Networks Resilience Advantage

A common vulnerability within the SME sector is conflating a “backup” with a “Disaster Recovery” plan. Having a copy of your data on a local drive is meaningless if a server motherboard fails or a ransomware attack compromises both the live network and the attached backups simultaneously.

We do not just store your data; we architect operational resilience. By deploying a hybrid methodology—combining rapid local failover appliances with secure, immutable cloud replication—we ensure that regardless of the systemic shock your business faces, your critical infrastructure remains online and accessible.

Comprehensive Recovery Capabilities

Bare-Metal Server Replication

Complete image-based backups of your entire server environment, including the operating system, applications, and configurations.

Microsoft 365 Backup

Microsoft guarantees the infrastructure, but you are responsible for the data. We provide independent, daily backups of Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams.

Ransomware Isolation

Implementing WORM (Write Once, Read Many) storage protocols to ensure that once a backup is created, it cannot be maliciously altered or erased.

Disaster Recovery Runbooks

We write and maintain comprehensive recovery documentation outlining the exact sequence of technical operations required during a critical incident.

Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

Moving beyond nightly backups to high- frequency snapshotting, reducing your potential data loss window to mere minutes.

Compliance & Long-Term Archiving

Automated retention policies designed to meet the strict legal requirements of the FCA, GDPR, and other compliance-driven frameworks.

The strategic impact of Managed Disaster Recovery

Minimised Operational Downtime

Downtime is measured in lost revenue and fractured client trust. Our rapid failover solutions ensure your workforce remains productive even if physical hardware fails.

Eradication of Ransomware Leverage

When you maintain verified, air-gapped backups, ransomware demands lose their leverage. We can isolate the infected network and restore operations without paying criminals.

Cyber Insurance Readiness

Modern insurers will not grant comprehensive coverage without proof of immutable backups and tested disaster recovery protocols. We provide the architecture required to qualify.

Predictable Recovery Metrics

Transition from hoping your backups work to knowing exactly how long recovery will take. We establish strict Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) aligned with business needs.

Reputational Protection

A swift, seamless recovery process prevents a minor IT failure from becoming a public relations crisis. Protect your brand equity through silent resilience.

Guaranteed Data Sovereignty

For UK-based enterprises, knowing exactly where your data resides is critical. Our cloud replication ensures your backups never cross unauthorised borders.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers regarding our continuity methodologies, data centres, and failover capabilities.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) measure two different aspects of disaster recovery.

RTO is forward-looking and defines the maximum acceptable amount of time your systems can remain offline after a disruption. It answers the question, “How quickly must we recover?”

RPO is backward-looking and defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, measured as the time gap between your last viable backup and the disruption. It answers the question, “How much data can we afford to lose?”

Businesses should generally test basic backup restores monthly, critical systems quarterly, and full disaster recovery procedures annually. Testing frequency should increase for highly critical data, after major IT changes, or when required by industry regulations.

Microsoft operates on a shared responsibility model: they maintain the platform’s infrastructure, but you are responsible for protecting your own data. A separate backup solution is necessary to protect against accidental deletion, ransomware, and to meet long-term compliance requirements beyond Microsoft’s standard 30-to-90-day retention limits.

Immutable storage protects against ransomware by using Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) technology, which prevents data from being modified, overwritten, or deleted for a set period of time. Even if attackers gain administrative access to your network, they cannot encrypt or delete these protected backups, ensuring you can restore your data without paying a ransom.

Backed-up data is typically stored either locally on physical hardware (like external hard drives, tape, or Network Attached Storage) or remotely on servers in secure data centers via a cloud backup provider. To determine exactly where your specific data is stored, you would need to check your organization’s IT backup policy or contact your service provider directly.
