Azure Backup Solutions in the UK for Government & Public Sector

Azure Backup protects citizen records, casework files, and policy documents, virtual machines, SQL databases, file shares, and application data used by case management, citizen portals, and GovCloud platforms. We configure policies covering your entire public sector body Azure estate and any hybrid on-premise systems.

Backup frequency is configured based on your public sector body's RPO requirements. Options range from continuous replication for critical databases to daily snapshots for less volatile citizen records, casework files, and policy documents. NCSC guidelines, Cyber Essentials Plus, and GDPR retention requirements are factored into every schedule.

Restore times vary by data volume and type. Individual files can be recovered in minutes. Full case management, citizen portals, and GovCloud platforms environment restores typically complete within hours. We provide documented restore time estimates for every protected resource in your public sector body.

Yes. We configure immutable backup vaults that cannot be deleted or modified by ransomware or malicious insiders. Combined with soft-delete and multi-user authorisation, your citizen records, casework files, and policy documents backup copies remain safe regardless of what happens to production systems.

Azure Backup charges based on protected instance size and storage consumed. We optimise costs through appropriate retention tiers and deduplication. Most government & public sector find Azure Backup significantly cheaper than equivalent on-premise tape or appliance-based solutions.
