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 security services business.
Who needs a managed backup service?
Any business that relies on digital data — which is virtually every security services 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 security services 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.
Our Cloud Backup for Security Services
CCTV Footage Archive
High-capacity backup of CCTV recordings with retention policies meeting BS 7958 and client contractual requirements for footage preservation.
Monitoring Data Protection
Automated backup of alarm logs, incident records, and patrol data ensuring compliance with SIA and NSI standards.
Hybrid Protection
From local on-site backup appliances to encrypted cloud replication, we cover every layer of data protection — ensuring your security services business can recover from any scenario, whether it's accidental deletion or a full site disaster.
Security Services businesses turn to us when
Their CCTV system storage is full and old footage is being overwritten before retention periods are met
Control room systems are outdated and can't integrate with modern IP cameras and analytics
Operatives in the field can't securely access case files or report incidents in real time
A data breach exposed client surveillance footage, creating serious legal and reputational consequences
Their access control systems across client sites aren't centrally managed, causing operational inefficiency
Evidence files aren't stored with proper chain of custody documentation, risking court admissibility
Lone worker devices don't have reliable connectivity in all the locations their officers patrol
They're scaling to manage security for a large new client and need to expand their IT infrastructure
Their communication systems aren't encrypted, creating a risk of interception during sensitive operations
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.

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.
