Endpoint Backup Services for Laptops and Devices

Automatic, monitored backup of every laptop and device your team works on, so a lost, stolen or failed device never means lost work.

Every Device Covered

Laptops, desktops and mobile devices across your business are backed up automatically, whether they're in the office or working remotely.

Works Anywhere

Backup continues over any internet connection, so remote and hybrid workers are protected without needing to be on the office network.

Monitored Daily

We check every device is backing up successfully, rather than assuming an agent installed months ago is still working.

Endpoint backup services that actually cover every device

Servers and cloud platforms usually get backed up as a matter of course — laptops and individual devices are where protection quietly falls through the cracks. A finance manager's spreadsheet saved locally, a director's laptop that's never synced to the cloud, a sales rep's device that's rarely on the office network — these are exactly the files that go missing when a laptop is lost, stolen, or simply fails, because nobody thought to include them in the backup plan. Endpoint backup services close that gap by backing up the devices themselves, automatically and continuously, wherever they're being used.

Endpoint backup is included as standard in our managed IT support plans from £20/user/month, alongside 24/7 monitoring and EDR endpoint protection. That means device backup isn't an optional extra you have to remember to ask for — it's built into how we manage your endpoints from day one.

Because most work now happens in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace rather than purely on the local device, endpoint backup for UK businesses typically works alongside cloud backup for those platforms, so both the device itself and the cloud data it connects to are covered — not one or the other.

Setting up endpoint backup properly also means thinking about what actually needs protecting on each device. A sales laptop might only need documents and a mail cache covered, while a designer's workstation could hold large local project files with no cloud copy at all. We scope backup around what's actually stored on each device type rather than applying an identical, generic policy to every machine regardless of how it's used, so storage and restore times stay sensible as your fleet of devices grows.

Why laptops get missed in backup planning

Server backup is usually deliberate — someone configured it, and it's obviously important. Laptop backup is often accidental, relying on a user remembering to save files to a cloud-synced folder, or assuming IT "already handles that". In practice, files saved to a desktop, a downloads folder, or a local application outside of a synced location often aren't backed up at all, and nobody notices until the device is lost, stolen or fails.

Remote and Hybrid Working Makes This Worse

A laptop that's rarely connected to the office network can't rely on a backup system designed around on-site devices. We deploy endpoint backup agents that work over any internet connection, so remote workers are protected exactly as well as anyone in the office.

Lost and Stolen Devices

Laptops get left on trains, stolen from cars, and dropped. Endpoint backup means the loss of a physical device is an inconvenience to replace, not a loss of the work that was on it.

Ransomware on a Single Device

Ransomware often starts on one endpoint before attempting to spread. Backed-up devices can be wiped and restored quickly, limiting the disruption a single infected laptop causes to the wider business.

Alongside EDR, Not Instead of It

Endpoint backup is a recovery measure, not a prevention one. We pair it with EDR endpoint protection so devices are both monitored for threats and backed up if something does get through, rather than relying on one layer alone.

What our endpoint backup service covers

Backup continues over any internet connection, so devices are protected on the office network or anywhere else.

Flexibility
Daily endpoint backup monitoring

Daily Monitoring

Every device's backup status is checked, with silent failures caught and fixed rather than left unnoticed.

Assurance

Our approach to endpoint backup

Cover Every Device by Default

We deploy endpoint backup as part of onboarding every new device, rather than relying on someone remembering to request it later.

Monitor Silent Failures

An endpoint backup agent that's silently stopped working is worse than no backup at all, because it creates false confidence. We check status daily rather than assuming an agent installed months ago is still running.

Ready to stop laptop loss meaning lost work?

How it works

From device audit to fully monitored endpoint backup — our process covers every device your team uses.

1

Audit

We identify every laptop, desktop and device in use across your business, including remote and hybrid workers'.

2

Deploy

Backup agents are installed on every device, configured to run automatically in the background without disrupting users.

3

Verify

We confirm each device is backing up successfully and test a sample restore before considering coverage complete.

4

Monitor & Support

Backup status is checked daily across all devices, with failures investigated and fixed by our team.

Businesses turn to us for endpoint backup services when

A lost or stolen laptop meant genuinely lost work, not just an inconvenient replacement purchase
They have remote or hybrid workers whose devices rarely connect to the office network
Nobody can confirm whether laptop backup was ever actually configured on every device
Files saved locally to a desktop or downloads folder aren't covered by their current cloud sync setup
Replacing a damaged laptop currently means recreating work from memory rather than restoring it
A device was infected with ransomware and they had no clean, recent backup to restore from
They're onboarding new starters regularly and want backup built into every new device by default
Their current backup only covers servers and cloud data, leaving individual devices unprotected
They want device backup, endpoint security and IT support managed together rather than as separate contracts

Why choose Cloudswitched for endpoint backup services?

We build device backup into how we manage endpoints from the outset, rather than treating it as an optional extra someone has to remember to request.

Endpoint backup is included as standard in our managed IT support plans from £20/user/month, alongside 24/7 monitoring and EDR endpoint protection, so devices are both protected against threats and recoverable if something does get through.

We monitor backup status daily across every device, catching silent failures — an agent that's stopped working without anyone noticing — before they turn into an actual data loss.

Endpoint backup sits alongside our wider cloud backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, so both the device and the cloud data it connects to are covered, not one or the other. Our SaaS backup services extend the same principle to the cloud applications your team relies on.

We price transparently, with device backup included in your per-user IT support cost, not billed separately per device. And because backup is scoped to what each device type actually holds, you're not paying to protect the same data twice across a laptop and the cloud platform it syncs to, nor left with a gap because a local-only application was assumed to be someone else's responsibility.

Why Cloudswitched for endpoint backup services?

We treat every device as worth protecting, not just servers and cloud platforms.

Every device covered by default

Backup is built into onboarding, not left as an optional add-on someone has to request.

Works anywhere

Remote and hybrid devices are backed up exactly as reliably as ones in the office.

Silent failures caught early

Daily monitoring means a stopped agent gets fixed, not discovered when a device is lost.

Included in per-user plans

Endpoint backup is part of your managed IT support cost from £20/user/month, not a separate line item.

Named account team

The same engineers managing your devices also manage your backup, not a separate specialist supplier.

Paired with EDR

Prevention and recovery deployed together, so devices are covered from both directions.

Fast replacement recovery

A lost or damaged laptop is a hardware replacement, not a data loss incident.

Scales with headcount

New starters and new devices are added to backup coverage automatically as part of onboarding.

Transparent pricing

Backup is included in your per-user IT support cost — no vague per-device surprises.

Endpoint backup as part of a wider security strategy

Endpoint backup is one layer of protection, not the whole strategy. It works best alongside EDR endpoint protection, cloud backup for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and staff who know how to spot a phishing email — because preventing an incident is always better than recovering from one. We look at endpoint backup as one part of your wider managed IT support, sitting alongside monitoring, security and our managed backup services, so protection is joined up across every device and platform your business relies on.

Endpoint backup services for UK businesses

As hybrid and remote working has become standard, the assumption that "everything important is in the cloud already" has become less reliable, not more. A surprising amount of day-to-day work still lives on local devices at least temporarily, and it's the endpoint, not the server, that's most likely to be lost, stolen or damaged.

What to check before choosing a provider: whether backup covers remote and hybrid devices as well as office-based ones, whether status is monitored daily, and whether it's included in your existing IT support cost or billed as a separate extra.

Who this suits: businesses with remote or hybrid teams, businesses onboarding new starters regularly, and any business that's experienced a lost or damaged device resulting in genuinely lost work.

Common mistakes we see: businesses that assume cloud sync covers every folder on a device, businesses that installed backup agents years ago and never checked they're still running, and businesses that only protect office-based devices while remote workers go unprotected. Each of these turns backup that looks comprehensive on paper into coverage with real gaps.

How we deliver it: remote-first for businesses across the UK, with London on-site coverage for hardware issues that genuinely need a person on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about endpoint backup services? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.

What are endpoint backup services?

They're automatic, monitored backup of laptops, desktops and mobile devices, so files stored locally are recoverable if a device is lost, stolen or damaged.

Isn't everything already backed up if we use Microsoft 365?

Not necessarily. Files saved locally to a desktop, downloads folder or an application outside of a synced cloud folder often aren't covered by Microsoft 365 alone, which is why endpoint backup and SaaS backup work best together.

Does endpoint backup work for remote workers?

Yes, backup runs over any internet connection, so remote and hybrid devices are protected exactly as reliably as ones on the office network.

How much does endpoint backup cost?

It's included as standard in our managed IT support plans from £20/user/month, rather than billed as a separate per-device add-on.

What happens if a laptop is lost or stolen?

Once a replacement device is ready, we restore the user's backed-up files onto it, so work is recovered rather than recreated from memory.

Does this cover mobile phones as well as laptops?

We can extend coverage to mobile devices where business data is stored on them, though most business-critical data on phones typically lives in backed-up cloud applications already.

How do you know a device's backup hasn't silently failed?

We check backup status across every device daily, so a stopped agent is caught and fixed quickly rather than discovered when a restore is actually needed.

How quickly can new starters be added?

Endpoint backup is deployed as part of our standard onboarding process, so new devices are covered from the day they're issued.
