What is hybrid cloud backup?
The best of both worlds
Hybrid cloud backup combines local backup — stored on a device in your office — with offsite cloud backup stored in a secure, geographically separate data centre. This dual approach gives you the speed of local restores for day-to-day recovery needs and the security of offsite cloud storage for disaster recovery scenarios such as fire, flood, ransomware or theft.
Unlike cloud-only backup, which depends entirely on your internet connection for both backups and restores, a hybrid approach means you can restore large volumes of data quickly from the local device while still having a secure offsite copy for worst-case scenarios. It's the gold standard for business data protection and business continuity planning for your creative agencies business.
Who needs a managed backup service?
Any business that relies on digital data — which is virtually every creative agencies business today — needs a reliable, tested backup solution. However, simply having backup software installed is not enough. Backups fail silently, retention policies drift, storage fills up and restore procedures go untested until the moment you need them most.
A managed hybrid cloud backup service means our engineers monitor your backups daily, resolve failures proactively, test restores regularly and ensure your data protection meets compliance requirements such as GDPR, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001. You get peace of mind knowing your backups are not just running — they're working.
How our hybrid cloud backup service works
1
Backup Assessment
We audit your current data, systems and backup setup to identify what needs protecting, how much storage is required and the optimal backup schedule. We assess your RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) requirements to design the right solution for your creative agencies business.
2
Installation & Configuration
We deploy and configure the backup agent on your servers and workstations, set up the local backup device, configure encryption keys, define retention policies and schedule automated backups. Cloud replication is configured to our UK-based data centre for offsite protection.
3
Automated Backup & Monitoring
Once live, backups run automatically on schedule. Our team monitors every backup job daily — checking for failures, warnings, capacity issues and performance. Any issues are resolved proactively before they become a problem, with daily notifications keeping you informed.
4
Restore Testing & Ongoing Management
We perform regular test restores to verify your backups are recoverable. Our managed service includes ongoing capacity management, retention policy adjustments, software updates and support for any restore requests — from a single file to a full server recovery.

Large Media File Backup
Backup infrastructure optimised for high-resolution video, photography, design files, and 3D assets with intelligent deduplication and compression.

Hybrid Protection

Creative Agencies businesses turn to us when
Their current IT provider doesn't understand creative workflows or the urgency of campaign deadlines
Large file transfers and project sharing are painfully slow, costing the team hours every week
They're struggling to manage Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma licences cost-effectively across the team
Their Mac and PC workstations aren't performing well enough for video editing and 3D rendering
Freelancers and remote creatives can't access studio systems securely or reliably
They've had a near-miss or actual data breach involving unreleased client work
Nobody in the agency understands IT security and they're worried about client data responsibility
They're growing rapidly and need IT infrastructure that can scale with new hires and studio expansion
Their backup and disaster recovery is inadequate — one hardware failure could wipe out years of creative work
Our approach
A proven four-stage process that takes you from vulnerable to fully protected with hybrid cloud backup.
1
Discovery & Assessment
We audit your current backup infrastructure, data volumes, retention requirements and recovery objectives. We identify critical systems, compliance obligations and single points of failure that put your business at risk.
2
Design & Configuration
We design a hybrid backup architecture combining on-site appliances with secure cloud storage. Encryption policies, scheduling, retention rules and disaster recovery runbooks are configured to meet your RPO and RTO targets.
3
Deploy & Verify
We deploy backup agents across your servers and workstations, run initial full backups and perform test restores to validate every recovery path. Nothing goes live until we've proven it works end to end.
4
Monitor & Maintain
Daily monitoring of every backup job, proactive alerting on failures, regular test restores and quarterly reviews ensure your protection stays current as your data and infrastructure evolve.

No ticket queues or call centres. You get a dedicated account manager who knows your infrastructure, your backup schedule and your recovery priorities — available by phone, email or video call.

We don't just back up your data — we regularly test that it can be restored. Quarterly restore drills ensure your disaster recovery plan actually works, giving you genuine confidence in your protection.
