Backup and disaster recovery

Backup and disaster recovery, tested before you need it

When something goes wrong, get back to work fast. Backups that are tested, a recovery plan that’s written down, and a team that’s done this before.

What we do

When something goes wrong, you need to know you can recover and carry on with as little downtime as possible.

We provide fully managed backup and disaster recovery. We put an automated backup routine in place, so nobody has to remember a manual one, and work with you on a disaster recovery plan and a business continuity plan. Then we test regularly, so you know your backups aren’t corrupt and can be restored when it matters.

We can advise on several approaches, including disaster recovery as a service, Microsoft Azure and backup vendors such as Veeam, so you have offsite copies you’ve tested.

What’s included: Microsoft 365 backup (email, Teams and SharePoint) is in every MYLE plan, continuous cloud backup is in MYLE Premium, and disaster recovery testing is an add-on. If you’d like to start on your own, our guide to building a backup strategy takes you through it in seven steps.

For solicitors and accountants

Solicitors

Tested backups and a recovery plan protect your clients’ case files and the email trail on every matter.

IT for solicitors

Accountants

Recovery needs planning and testing well before January.

IT for accountants

We called upon Just Gilbey IT Solutions during an IT disaster we encountered whilst working on a Bank Holiday weekend. They responded immediately, travelled on site, worked through the night and were able to get our environment fully operational the next day. I received a detailed report which included steps taken to recovery, the root cause of the issues along with a priority list of tasks to be done going forward. We look forward to working with Just Gilbey IT Solutions in the future on our supplier list.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?

Disaster recovery is getting your IT systems and data back after an incident. Business continuity is keeping the company working while that happens. You need both, and we help IT and the business plan them together.

Do we need a backup?

Yes. Ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion and natural disasters all happen. If you can’t restore your systems, you lose time, money, reputation and possibly data you can never get back.

What do we need for backups?

A modern backup routine, recoverable copies of critical data stored offsite, and regular tests to prove the backups work. We can advise on approaches such as disaster recovery as a service, Microsoft Azure and backup tools like Veeam.

When did you last test your plan?

If you can’t answer that, it’s worth talking to us. A plan only works if it’s been tried. Disaster recovery testing is available as an add-on to any MYLE plan.
