Prepare for the unexpected with our Disaster Recovery Solutions

Even the most advanced and robust businesses cannot prepare fully for the unexpected. From technical glitches and human error to cyber security breaches and natural disasters, certain events are simply unforeseeable and out of your control.

They may not happen often; but when they do, you need to be prepared otherwise, you could end up losing valuable information – and destabilising or jeopardising the future of your business.

Are you confident your IT disaster recovery plan is robust enough to limit business downtime if you were faced with an IT issue? How long do you realistically think you could continue working without access to your systems and data?

To help you prepare for the worst-case scenario, it’s essential that you create a disaster recovery plan. This is a compressive document that will outline how an organisation will ensure business continuity, detailing how they will respond and recover from disruptive events.

It works by identifying potential risks, establishing procedures for backup and restoration, and regularly testing the plan to ensure effectiveness. This helps organisations quickly recover critical systems, data and minimise downtime in the event of a disaster.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Services

Common causes of business downtime

Human error 
With teams collaborating on documents, deleting data accidentally is not as uncommon as you might think. A Disaster Recovery plan ensures that regular backups are in place, allowing for quick restoration of lost data and minimising downtime. Additionally, it includes protocols for version control and audit trails, which help track changes and recover previous versions of documents.

Cyber attack 
From phishing emails to malware, cyber crime is on the rise with data being a prime target. A Disaster Recovery plan includes robust security measures and regular backups, ensuring that data can be quickly restored and operations resumed even after a breach.

Hardware failure 
As technology continues to advance, failures happen less frequently - but when they do, they can cause big problems. A Disaster Recovery plan ensures that critical data is regularly backed up and stored in multiple locations, allowing for swift recovery and continuity of operations even if hardware fails.

Hardware theft or loss
With more people working remotely, more devices are in turn being lost or stolen. A Disaster Recovery plan includes encryption and secure backups, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected and can be restored from a secure location if a device is lost or stolen.

Natural disaster 
Fires, flooding, or global pandemics can all stop a business in its tracks. A Disaster Recovery plan includes off-site backups and cloud storage solutions, ensuring that critical data and systems can be accessed and restored even if the primary site is compromised.

Power outage
Businesses can’t function without power, and sometimes outages can last for some time causing data loss. A Disaster Recovery plan includes the use of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and backup generators, ensuring that critical systems remain operational and data is protected during an outage.

Disaster Recovery Service FAQs

What is Disaster Recovery?

Disaster Recovery is a strategic approach that involves planning, implementing, and managing processes to quickly restore critical IT systems, data, and business operations after a disruptive event.  

These events can include natural cyber attacks, hardware failures, or human errors. Effective disaster recovery ensures minimal downtime and data loss, helping businesses maintain continuity and protect their assets. 

What is Disaster Recovery plan?

A disaster recovery plan is a detailed document that outlines how an organisation will respond to and recover in the event of a disaster.  

It includes detailed procedures for restoring IT systems, data, and business operations, ensuring minimal downtime and data loss. The plan will cover risk assessment, backup strategies, emergency response, and recovery steps, helping businesses maintain continuity and safeguard their assets during crises.

We can work with you to create a robust disaster recovery plan to ensure that you have a clear plan and peace of mind when a disaster occurs.  

Why is Disaster Recovery important?

If you do not consider disaster recovery as a business priority, you could cause damage to your organisation, such as financial losses, damage to reputation and fines.

Having a robust disaster recovery solution in place is important so that you can quickly restore operations and prevent the negative implications a disaster causes.

We’re here to proactively support, prevent and prepare your organisation when human error, hardware failure and cyber crime causes data loss. We offer tailored solutions, aligned to your business goals and are a friendly team that you can rely on.  

What is the difference between Disaster Recovery and business continuity?

The difference between disaster recovery and business continuity is that disaster recovery focuses on the restoration process, involving plans and technologies to recover lost data and systems, whereas business continuity looks at the broader picture. Business continuity includes disaster recovery but also considers the processes, people and communication plans to ensure resilience and operational stability.

Goals – What do you hope to achieve by having a disaster recovery plan in place? How quickly do you need each of your systems back up and running in order of priority? What’s the maximum amount of acceptable data loss?
