Backup & Disaster Recovery Solutions
Automated backups that are actually tested to restore, paired with a disaster recovery plan for the day something goes wrong.
What does ITSL's Backup Solutions service include?
ITSL sets up automated data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity planning for London SMEs, so a lost laptop, failed drive or cyber incident does not mean lost business data.
Most data loss incidents we see are preventable — a laptop stolen, a hard drive failing, a ransomware attack — the difference between a bad day and a business-ending event is whether reliable backups were in place.
We set up automated backup solutions tailored to your systems, test that recovery actually works, and build a simple business continuity plan around it.

FAQs about Backup Solutions
Do I need cloud backup for my small business?
Yes, most small businesses benefit from cloud backup because it protects data off-site from local risks such as theft, fire or hardware failure, and allows faster recovery than physical backup drives alone.
How often should business data be backed up?
Critical business data is typically backed up daily, though some systems benefit from more frequent backups. ITSL agrees the right schedule based on how often your data changes.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is the copy of your data; disaster recovery is the documented plan for restoring systems and continuing operations after an incident. ITSL sets up both together.
How long does it take to restore data from a backup?
Recovery time depends on the volume of data and system involved; ITSL documents expected recovery times as part of your disaster recovery plan.
Are backups stored securely and encrypted?
Yes, ITSL configures backups with encryption in transit and at rest, and restricts access to authorised team members only.
