Data Backup and Disaster Recovery

Backup and Disaster Recovery is a critical but often overlooked aspect of an SME’s IT Systems. Yet almost all aspects of modern businesses run on data and the ability to access it. So, it is critical that this data be kept safe and is available whenever you need it.

Disaster Recovery systems help you regain access to systems and data in event of system failures, natural disasters or malicious attacks. These events may be rare, but without these systems your data could be lost forever.

Backup as a Service

Using Backup as a Service (BaaS) systems means that there is no need to maintain onsite backup servers or change disks or tapes each day. Your critical data is automatically backed up over the internet to a remote, secure cloud facility. Secured by in-transit and at-rest encryption; your backup data is only ever accessible by you.

Whether your critical data is stored on servers in the office, servers in a remote data centre, or held in Microsoft 365, we have solutions to backup all your critical data, keep it safe, and recover it if needed.

As a managed service, BaaS provides 24/7 monitoring, managed data restores, and access to our Backup and Disaster Recovery experts.

What can BaaS actually backup:

  • Physical Servers – full disk images or specific files/folders
  • Virtual Servers – VMware or HyperV
  • Cloud Servers – in Azure or AWS
  • Cloud Services – Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace

Office 365 Backups

It’s a common misconception that your data held in Office 365 is already backed up. This is not the case.

Office 365 is extremely reliable and available and does include version history and deleted item recovery features, but there is no backup as such.

We recommend that critical data be backed up to a completely alternative location, ideally with a different storage provider. This can then be monitored 24/7 to ensure that it is safe and available.

Here’s what is included with Office 365 Backups:

  • Backup of all data in Mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams Groups
  • Unlimited data retention
  • Unlimited backup volumes
  • A Fully managed service with 24/7 monitoring and managed data restorations
  • Billing is per mailbox backed up

Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery is very different to backups. Whereas backups just cover your data, disaster recovery also covers the critical IT infrastructure, its configuration and access to it during a disaster event.

Full Disaster Recovery solutions will make your key business systems fully available quickly even in the event of a disaster like a fire, flood, or cyber-attack.

We design, implement, and manage custom disaster recovery systems to help your business continue functioning after any type of incident. From high-availability clustered environments to cloud-based or multi-site replication. We can help you plan for almost any eventuality with your IT infrastructure.

DRaaS

Disaster Recovery as a Service, or DRaaS, removes the requirement for any additional hardware, Disaster Recovery locations, and their associated maintenance. You get all the peace of mind Disaster Recovery provides but without a huge cost to the business.

DRaaS works by continually replicating your business-critical systems to a secure offsite location and can bring these systems back online in a remote, virtual environment in a matter of minutes. Staff can then access their applications from anywhere that has an internet connection, helping them with remote and hybrid working.

Greystone can set up, monitor, and maintain your DRaaS solution with the backing of our leading Disaster Recovery partner.

Keep your business safe and efficient with our tailored Disaster Recovery solutions.
