Datto Backup Solutions in the UK for Startups & Scale-ups
Enterprise Datto BCDR built for the resilience demands of Startups.
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.
When traditional backup means hours or days of downtime, Datto delivers minutes. Startups handling product data and customer records need the rapid recovery and business continuity that only Datto's integrated BCDR platform provides.
Cloudswitched offers Datto backup as a managed service for UK startups. From deployment and configuration to 24/7 monitoring and recovery support, we ensure your startup benefits from Datto's industry-leading BCDR capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Datto offers appliances from small office units to enterprise-scale devices. Our managed service makes Datto accessible for UK startups of all sizes, with appliance sizing matched to your startup requirements.
Yes. Datto SaaS Protection covers Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, complementing server backup. For UK startups, this provides comprehensive protection of product data and customer records across all platforms.
Unlike traditional incremental backup that relies on chains of dependent files, Datto's inverse chain ensures every backup point is a standalone full recovery point. This eliminates chain corruption risk for product data and customer records.
Retention is configurable to your startup needs. Local retention typically covers 30-90 days, with cloud retention extending to a year or more. We tailor retention to meet investor reporting and GDPR requirements.
Datto Cloud stores a complete copy of all your backups. If the appliance fails, we ship a replacement and restore from the cloud. In the interim, cloud virtualisation keeps your startup running.
