Backups

Up until now Schools have felt there is no alternative to the off-site back-up offered by their LEA provider, this is no longer the case. We can offer off-site cloud back-up at a fraction of the cost you would pay with BT.

What is it?

The service automatically carries out daily backups of your school’s servers, PCs or laptops. This saves and protect your data against corruption, human error and physical damage.

What are the benefits?

SAVES MONEY

There is no need to purchase hardware or software. There are no expensive maintenance supports contracts, and there is a massive reduction in management costs as no staff time is needed to manage the daily procedure.

STAFF INVOLVEMENT

It is a fully automated, electronic service that requires no hands on after the initial set up. Therefore you no longer need to rely on a member of staff to take responsibility to change tapes every night. This also means that when you had to organise cover for that person during holidays or sickness.

FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENT BACKUP

As the software only sends changed or new files to our servers daily the backup is quick and efficient.

FULL REPORTING

You will receive an email daily to confirm the status of the last backup.

Other features of our off-site back-ups are:

UK Data Centres (London & Bournemouth)
Technical Support available, via telephone or email
Automated cloud back-up
Data is fully encrypted and protected even before it leaves your computer
Fully managed and monitored service
School MIS back-ups included
No long locked in contracts, just pay quarterly or annually

Data can be recovered from any restore point within the last 90 days up to a maximum of 120 days dependent on the date that the backup was taken.
