Cloud, Backup & Disaster Recovery
Hardware fails, laptops get stolen, ransomware happens. What matters is how quickly you're working again. We back up everything that matters (including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, which aren't backed up the way most people assume) and we regularly test that we can restore it.
Based in Southampton. On-site across Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Totton, Romsey, Hedge End and the surrounding area, and anywhere within 50 miles for the right project.

(03) Questions
Fair questions.
Doesn't Microsoft (or Google) back up our data?
They keep the service running, but deleted or encrypted data can be gone for good once retention periods pass. A separate backup means you can always get it back.
Should we get rid of our server?
Often, but not always. We'll look at what it actually does and give you a straight answer.
How often do you test the backups?
On a regular schedule we agree with you, with the results in your monthly report.
