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 waste management business.
Who needs a managed backup service?
Any business that relies on digital data — which is virtually every waste management 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 waste management 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 Waste Management
Weighbridge Data Backup
Automated backup of weighbridge records, waste transfer notes, and consignment records ensuring duty of care compliance documentation is always available.
Environmental Compliance Archive
Secure, long-term backup of EA permit records, environmental monitoring data, and waste returns for regulatory compliance.
Hybrid Protection
From local on-site backup appliances to encrypted cloud replication, we cover every layer of data protection — ensuring your waste management business can recover from any scenario, whether it's accidental deletion or a full site disaster.
Waste Management businesses turn to us when
Their fleet management system is outdated and can't optimise routes, wasting fuel and increasing costs
Weighbridge software failures are causing queues of vehicles and inaccurate material tracking
They can't produce Environment Agency returns on time because their compliance systems aren't integrated
Connectivity at their transfer station is too unreliable for real-time vehicle tracking and processing
Equipment keeps failing due to the harsh environment at their recycling facility
They're winning new contracts and need to scale their IT to handle additional vehicles and sites
Driver tablets and handhelds keep breaking and aren't properly managed or secured
Paper-based waste transfer notes are creating compliance risk and administrative overhead
They need CCTV and access control at remote sites that currently have minimal IT infrastructure
Our approach

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.

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.

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.
