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

Automated protection of RoboVet, Teleos, and Animana patient records including treatment histories, medication logs, and vaccination records.
Clinical Image Protection
Secure backup of X-rays, ultrasound images, and laboratory results with long-term retention for clinical reference.
Hybrid Protection

Veterinary businesses turn to us when
Their current IT provider does not understand veterinary practice management software like RoboVet, Teleos, or Animana and cannot resolve clinical system issues effectively
Their in-house lab analysers or digital X-ray systems keep losing connection to patient records, wasting clinical time and delaying diagnostic results for anxious pet owners
They are worried about RCVS Practice Standards compliance and their IT systems do not adequately support the clinical record keeping and data security requirements
Pet insurance claim submissions keep failing or timing out, delaying reimbursements and creating administrative backlogs for their reception and accounts teams
Their practice management system runs slowly, causing delays between consultations and reducing the number of animals they can see each day
They are opening additional branches or acquiring another practice and need to integrate IT systems, share patient records, and standardise technology across locations
They handle sensitive client and animal data but lack proper encryption, access controls, and backup systems to protect it from loss or breach
They provide out-of-hours emergency cover and their vets cannot reliably access patient records remotely when on call
They need Cyber Essentials certification to meet corporate group requirements or demonstrate security best practice to clients and regulators
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.

Why Cloudswitched for Cloud Backup?
We combine deep infrastructure expertise with enterprise-grade backup technology to deliver protection that actually works when disaster strikes.
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
Our hybrid architecture enables rapid recovery from local appliances. Critical systems can be restored in minutes, not hours — minimising downtime and keeping your business operational.
End-to-end encryption
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.
Daily monitoring and alerting
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.
Customer portal access
Full visibility into your backup environment through a dedicated customer portal. Monitor job status, storage usage, retention policies and recovery history — anytime, from anywhere.

About Dover
Set in the UK, Dover blends hospitality strength with a steady base of healthcare and service firms. The area around the high street carries much of that activity, while the railway station anchors the wider commercial scene. Many are owner-managed, trading within a few miles of the main retail parade. The healthcare presence gives the town a steady commercial backbone. Smaller firms cluster where transport and rents make sense, often near the town centre. It is a practical, working town rather than a showpiece one.
Key industries: Dover's firms range from healthcare employers to small logistics outfits and the veterinary practices that serve them, each with different IT demands but a shared need for uptime. It is a practical, working town rather than a showpiece one. Newer arrivals sit alongside firms that have traded here for decades.
Getting here: We support Dover veterinary practices remotely day to day and travel in via main bus routes when hands-on work is needed. Remote monitoring means many problems are caught and fixed before veterinary surgeons even notice them. Most issues are resolved remotely the same day, with site visits booked when hardware genuinely needs hands.
