One team designing, monitoring and testing backup across your servers, Microsoft 365, devices and infrastructure, so nothing falls through the gap between separate suppliers.
Servers, virtual machines, Microsoft 365 and endpoint devices are all covered by one coordinated backup strategy, not several disconnected tools.
Backup jobs are checked every day across every system, so a failure is caught and fixed rather than discovered when a restore is needed.
Real restores are tested on a schedule, with a written record you can hand to an insurer, auditor or client.
Most businesses don't have one backup problem, they have several — servers that need image-level backup, Microsoft 365 data that Microsoft's own retention doesn't fully cover, laptops that get lost or stolen, and increasingly a mix of on-premise and cloud infrastructure that needs consistent protection across both. Handled separately, each of these tends to end up with a different supplier, a different renewal date and a different person to call when something goes wrong, which is exactly how gaps appear.
Managed backup services UK businesses get from Cloudswitched bring all of that under one coordinated strategy — cloud backup for everyday mailboxes and files is included as standard in our managed IT support plans from £20/user/month, with Veeam cloud backup for servers and virtual machines, SaaS backup for Microsoft 365, and endpoint backup for devices, all designed and monitored by the same team.
Pricing scales with what's actually being protected — per user for everyday cloud backup, per server or VM for infrastructure, per mailbox or platform for SaaS data — rather than a single opaque figure that doesn't reflect what's genuinely covered.
The value of bringing everything under one managed service isn't just tidiness — it's that a single team can see the whole picture at once. When a new server is provisioned, we know to add it to backup as part of the build, not as an afterthought someone remembers weeks later. When an employee leaves, their device and mailbox backup status is reviewed as part of the standard offboarding process, rather than left dangling in a system nobody's actively watching. That joined-up view is difficult to achieve when backup for each type of system is managed by a different supplier with no visibility of the others.
When servers are backed up by one supplier, Microsoft 365 by a different tool nobody actively reviews, and laptops rely on whatever the manufacturer bundled in, nobody has a complete picture of what's actually protected. Each piece might look fine in isolation while the business as a whole has real, unaddressed exposure — an unbacked-up shared mailbox here, a laptop that never got the agent installed there.
We manage backup as a single, coordinated service rather than a collection of point solutions, which means one team has visibility of what's protected, what isn't, and where a gap has opened up as your business changes.
A backup dashboard nobody checks is only marginally better than no monitoring at all. We review backup status across every system daily, as part of our wider managed IT support, not as a separate, easily neglected task.
Configured backup and working backup are different things. Our backup verification services test real restores on a schedule, so "we have backups" is something we can demonstrate, not just assert.
New starters, new servers, new SaaS platforms and new offices all extend the same coordinated backup strategy, rather than each requiring a fresh, separately-managed arrangement. That matters most for businesses growing quickly, where backup arrangements set up for a ten-person team can otherwise be quietly outgrown by a fifty-person one, with nobody noticing until an incident exposes exactly which systems were never brought into scope.
The core elements of every managed backup deployment.
We design backup as a single coordinated plan across every system your business runs on, so nothing is protected by accident and nothing is missed by oversight.
Scheduled restore testing means your backup's effectiveness is demonstrated on an ongoing basis, not assumed from the day it was first configured.
From reviewing your current backup arrangements to a fully managed, monitored strategy — our process is straightforward.
We map out every system currently backed up, badly backed up, or not backed up at all across your business.
We design a coordinated backup strategy covering servers, SaaS, devices and infrastructure, scoped to your actual risk.
Backup is configured and we test real restores before we consider any part of the deployment complete.
Backup status is reviewed daily across your whole business, with failures investigated and fixed by our team.
We treat backup as one coordinated responsibility across your whole business, not a set of separate boxes to tick for servers, SaaS and devices independently.
Cloud backup for everyday mailboxes and files is included as standard in our managed IT support plans from £20/user/month, with dedicated services extending coverage to servers, virtual machines, SaaS platforms and endpoint devices as needed.
Every backup job across every system is monitored daily by the same team, and we periodically test real restores through our backup verification services, so "we have backups" is something we can prove.
Because backup sits alongside our wider managed IT support, the team watching your servers and security is also the team watching your backup jobs — nothing falls into the gap between disconnected suppliers.
We price transparently, scaled to what's actually being protected, with a clear quote agreed before any work begins and reviewed as your business changes.
We manage backup as an ongoing responsibility across your whole business, not a one-off installation.
Servers, SaaS, devices and infrastructure covered together, not as separate point solutions.
Everyday cloud backup is part of our managed IT support plans, not a separate line item to negotiate.
We periodically test real restores, so recovery is proven, not assumed.
Every system's backup status is checked every day, not configured once and left alone.
The same engineers managing your IT also manage your backup, with full visibility of your environment.
Backup, security and IT support are managed together, so nothing falls between suppliers.
Backup arrangements are documented clearly enough to support Cyber Essentials assessments and insurer questions.
New starters, servers and platforms extend existing backup coverage cleanly.
A clear quote scoped to what's actually protected — no vague ongoing costs.
Managed backup is the foundation everything else builds on. For businesses that need faster recovery than a restore alone provides, our managed DRaaS service adds tested failover for critical infrastructure, and data replication keeps a near-current standby copy for systems that can't tolerate losing a working day's data. We look at managed backup as one part of your wider IT support, so protection scales from everyday file recovery through to full disaster recovery as your business needs it.
The businesses we see with the biggest backup gaps are rarely the ones with no backup at all — they're the ones with several separate backup arrangements accumulated over time, none of which anyone is looking at as a whole. A server backup tool from one era, a Microsoft 365 add-on nobody reviewed after the free trial, and laptop backup that was configured for three people and never extended to the other twenty who joined since.
What to check before choosing a provider: whether backup is coordinated across every system or managed as separate point tools, whether restores are ever tested, and whether monitoring is genuinely reviewed daily rather than sitting on an unwatched dashboard.
Who this suits: businesses juggling multiple backup tools and suppliers, businesses that have grown quickly without revisiting their original backup setup, and any business wanting one accountable team for backup, security and IT support together.
Common mistakes we see: businesses that assume each system's backup is someone else's responsibility, businesses that have never tested a restore across their whole environment, and businesses paying for multiple overlapping backup tools that still leave gaps between them. Each of these turns backup that looks comprehensive on paper into coverage with real holes in it.
