Backup and disaster recovery
in Sheffield.
Plan for the restore, not just the backup job.
Service scope
What we can plan with you
Match backup coverage to the systems and information you need to recover. Discuss retention, restore testing and the order in which business services need to return.
Restore planning
Establish the order in which services need to return and what each one depends on. Discuss tolerable downtime and data loss before choosing a recovery approach.
Testing and ownership
Define restore tests, reporting and responsibility for failed jobs. Include access to recovery credentials and the process for requesting or authorising a restore.
Choosing the right approach
Start with the requirement.
Then choose the setup.
File recovery and whole-service recovery are different requirements. A backup may recover deleted information without immediately restoring a working application, identity system or phone service. Scope each recovery scenario separately.

Fit the service to the way your team works.
For a Sheffield business with office IT alongside workshop, warehouse or specialist equipment, start by drawing the boundaries. Not every connected device can be patched in the same way, and changes should account for supplier responsibilities and operational downtime.
Your backup & recovery brief should account for how people work, the systems they depend on and any changes you are planning. The points below help connect those requirements to the wider environment.
Mixed equipment
Inventory specialist devices and identify the vendors responsible for them. Discuss network separation and safe maintenance windows before changing switches, wireless or security settings.
Service planning: Identify the systems and data that must be protected.
Recovery priorities
Document which systems depend on local hardware and which can be recovered in the cloud. Agree recovery priorities and test restore procedures rather than treating a successful backup job as the whole plan.
Before making changes: Agree recovery objectives and retention periods.
