Business Backup Solutions in the UK for Education & Training
Comprehensive cloud backup designed to keep Education operational.
Complete Coverage
Servers, desktops, laptops, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads all protected under a single managed backup service.
Verified Daily
We check every backup job daily. Failures are investigated and resolved immediately — not left to pile up unnoticed.
Fast Recovery
When you need data back, our team restores it quickly. From individual files to full server recoveries, we handle the process end to end.
For UK schools and colleges, data loss threatens business continuity. Student records and safeguarding data stored across SIMS, Google Workspace, and learning platforms must be protected against ransomware, accidental deletion, and hardware failures.
Cloudswitched delivers business-grade backup for UK schools and colleges. Our solution automatically protects student records and safeguarding data with encrypted, versioned backups in UK data centres. When disaster strikes, we restore your data quickly so teaching staff can get back to work.
How it works for Education businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Tailored Backup Strategy
We design backup schedules and retention policies based on your specific data types, recovery requirements, and compliance obligations — not a generic one-size-fits-all approach.
2
Daily Monitoring
Our team reviews backup job results every morning. Failed or missed backups trigger immediate investigation and remediation, ensuring your data is always protected.
3
Regular Recovery Testing
We perform scheduled test restores to verify backup integrity. When you need to recover data, you can be confident it will work because we have already proven it does.
