Disaster Recovery Services

When every minute of downtime costs your business money, rapid recovery is essential.

Disaster recovery isn’t just a technical term - it’s your ability to restore operations quickly after an unexpected IT failure. For UK organisations, this means meeting compliance standards, protecting customer data, and minimising disruption.

Our UK-based disaster recovery solutions get you back online in minutes, not hours. With point-in-time data restoration, you can roll back to a precise moment before the incident, reducing data loss and safeguarding business continuity.

Disaster Recovery vs Cloud Backup - Essential for UK Businesses

Disaster Recovery, often referred to as DR or DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service), is frequently discussed alongside cloud backup solutions, but they are not the same. Both play a vital role in protecting UK organisations, yet they differ in purpose and approach.

Cloud backup is the process of securely copying files and data to the cloud for future restoration. It ensures data is available when needed, but it does not guarantee rapid business continuity. Disaster recovery goes further - it is the strategy and technology that enables your business to restore systems and resume operations quickly after an IT outage or cyberattack. For UK businesses, this is critical for meeting compliance requirements such as GDPR and ISO 27001, while minimising costly downtime and reputational risk.

Disaster recovery focuses on two key objectives:

Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which defines how quickly systems can be restored
Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which determines the point in time to which data can be rolled back

These measures ensure that your organisation can recover efficiently and maintain compliance with UK data protection standards.

Cloud backups typically run overnight or outside standard business hours, creating static copies of your data. You can restore the latest version or select a previous version if needed, making backups ideal for file-level recovery or full system restores. However, they do not provide instant failover.

Disaster recovery, by contrast, creates a live, virtual copy of your systems in a secure secondary UK-based location. It takes frequent snapshots, so in the event of a complete failure, you can immediately switch to the secondary environment and continue working while your primary systems are restored. This approach minimises data loss, maintains productivity, and ensures compliance with UK regulations throughout the recovery process
