Datto Backup Solutions in the UK

Datto combines local backup speed with cloud resilience, giving UK businesses the fastest recovery times in the industry. Cloudswitched deploys and manages Datto BCDR solutions, ensuring your data is protected locally and in the cloud with tested recovery you can count on.

Instant Local Recovery

Virtualise failed servers directly on the Datto appliance in minutes — your team keeps working while the original server is repaired or replaced.

Cloud Replication

Every local backup is automatically replicated to the Datto Cloud, providing offsite protection against site-level disasters.

Screenshot Verification

Datto automatically boots every backup as a virtual machine and captures a screenshot, proving recoverability without manual testing.

Why Datto for Business Backup

Traditional backup solutions store data offsite but leave you waiting hours or days for a full server recovery. Datto changes this equation with a hybrid approach: backup data is stored locally on a dedicated appliance for instant recovery, then automatically replicated to the cloud for offsite disaster protection. For UK businesses that cannot afford extended downtime, Datto provides the fastest path back to normal operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Datto BCDR appliance is a physical backup device installed at your premises. It takes frequent snapshots of your servers and stores them locally for instant recovery. Every snapshot is also replicated to the Datto Cloud for offsite protection. The appliance can virtualise failed servers directly, providing near-zero downtime.

Datto can virtualise a failed server on the local appliance in as little as six seconds. Your team can continue working on the virtualised server while the original is repaired or replaced. This is dramatically faster than traditional restore-from-backup approaches.

After every backup, Datto automatically boots the backup as a virtual machine in an isolated environment and captures a screenshot of the login screen. This visual proof confirms the backup is bootable and the operating system loaded correctly. It is delivered to our monitoring dashboard for review.

Datto Cloud virtualisation allows your servers to run in the Datto Cloud data centre. Your team can connect remotely and continue working as if the servers were on-premises. This keeps your business operational while your office is being restored.

Datto appliances are available in a range of storage capacities from 1TB to over 60TB. We size the appliance based on your current data volume plus projected growth, ensuring you have adequate local storage for your retention requirements.
