Backup and Recovery
We recognise the critical importance of maintaining secure, reliable backups of your school’s or academy’s on-premise and cloud-based data. Our flexible backup solutions support on-premise, hybrid, and fully cloud-hosted environments, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Data is securely backed up off-site to ensure it remains protected and fully recoverable at all times. The service integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure via a lightweight software application deployed within your on-premise or cloud environment. Automated nightly backups provide continuous protection with minimal administrative overhead.
The solution supports the backup of on-premise MIS databases, shared network files, user data, and critical server configuration settings.
Key benefits include:
· Protection Against Data Loss
Safeguards data from hardware failure, cyber incidents, accidental deletion, and system corruption.
· Rapid Data Recovery
Enables fast, reliable restoration of files, systems, or entire environments to minimise downtime and disruption.
· Support for On-Premise and Cloud Systems
Protects servers, MIS databases, shared files, user data, and cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
· Automated and Secure Backups
Nightly automated backups ensure data is consistently protected without placing additional burden on staff.
· Off-Site and Encrypted Storage
Data is securely stored off-site using AES encryption, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and protection against local incidents.
· Compliance and Peace of Mind
Supports compliance with the Data Protection Act (2018) and education sector guidance, helping schools meet audit and inspection requirements meeting and exceeding ICO and DfE guidance.
A robust backup and recovery strategy ensures your school can respond quickly to unexpected events, protect vital information, and continue delivering education without interruption.
