Trusted Backups for businesses in Suffolk
Tiered backup and disaster recovery solutions — from file-level to full system restore, including Microsoft 365 protection.
Backups and disaster recovery that Suffolk businesses can actually rely on
Most Suffolk businesses we meet have "backups" in the same way they have a fire extinguisher — bought once, never tested, nobody quite sure if it still works. We fix that. For Ipswich insurance firms and Bury professional services practices the stake is client data and ICO exposure; for Felixstowe freight forwarders it's the operational chaos of losing shipping records mid-customs; for Haverhill and Stowmarket manufacturers it's the production-line downtime when a ransomware event takes out the ERP.
Our standard approach is image-level backup to local storage for fast restores, plus an immutable offsite copy in UK-based cloud storage so a ransomware crew can't encrypt the recovery set. We test restores on a documented schedule rather than hoping — a backup that's never been restored isn't really a backup. For Microsoft 365 tenants we add third-party M365 backup covering Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, because Microsoft's native retention is not disaster recovery. UK data residency is the default across the stack.

Backups & Disaster Recovery FAQ
Doesn't Microsoft 365 back itself up?
No, not really. Microsoft's default retention is short and aimed at recovering recently deleted items. For proper protection (especially from ransomware or accidental admin deletions) you need a third-party Microsoft 365 backup solution.
How often do you test backups?
For managed clients, we run monthly file-level test restores and full disaster recovery tests at least annually. Untested backups are not real backups.
How long does it take to recover from a backup?
It depends on the data volume and what failed. A single file restore takes minutes. A full server restore can take hours. We'll design the solution so the recovery time matches what your business can tolerate.
