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 removals business.
Who needs a managed backup service?
Any business that relies on digital data — which is virtually every removals 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 removals 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.

Booking & Schedule Data
Secure backup of booking calendars, move schedules, and customer communication records ensuring continuity of planned removals.
Hybrid Protection
From local on-site backup appliances to encrypted cloud replication, we cover every layer of data protection — ensuring your removals business can recover from any scenario, whether it's accidental deletion or a full site disaster.
Removals businesses turn to us when
Their scheduling system can't handle the volume of jobs, causing double-bookings and crew conflicts
Storage inventory is tracked on spreadsheets and items have been lost or misallocated
Customers complain about lack of communication and not knowing when their crew will arrive
Their website doesn't offer online quoting, losing business to competitors who do
CCTV at their storage facility isn't working properly and footage isn't being retained as required
Crew tablets and handhelds keep breaking and aren't properly managed or replaced
They're opening a new storage facility and need complete IT including warehouse management systems
Their phone system can't handle the call volume during peak moving season
Fleet tracking is unreliable and they don't have visibility of where their vehicles are
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.

Hybrid by design
On-site backup appliances for instant local recovery combined with encrypted cloud replication for offsite disaster protection. Two copies, two locations, zero single points of failure.
IT company, not just a reseller
We understand servers, networks and virtualisation at a deep technical level. Our backup solutions are designed by engineers who manage the infrastructure they protect — not salespeople reading a script.
15-minute recovery objective

AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your premises and stays encrypted in the cloud. We never hold your encryption keys — only you can access your data.

Every backup job is monitored around the clock. If a job fails, we know before you do — and we fix it proactively. No more discovering your backups haven't run for weeks when disaster strikes.
Fixed monthly pricing
Transparent, predictable costs with no hidden fees for restores, support calls or emergency recoveries. You know exactly what you're paying every month — and what you're getting for it.
Named account manager
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.
Regular test restores
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.
