REMOTE BACKUP AND DISASTER RECOVERY
Remote Backup
Remote Backup takes a copy of your data, encrypts it and then transfers it to a UK data centre via a secure “SSL” connection. A second copy is then sent to a secondary UK data centre that is in a different geographical location and email confirmation sent back to you once completed. In the event of fire, theft, human error or hardware malfunction you can be safe in the knowledge that all of your important data has been safely backed up and can be restored easily.
A fully automated and secure backup each night. l No need for staff to change tapes, disks etc.
​
No need for staff to take external backup media home such as a tape. l No labelling of media or cleaning tapes required.
​
Easily test restoring backups from any computer. l An email is sent to you as soon as the backup is complete.
​
Backups are kept in two certified, secure locations providing a basic disaster recovery facility.
Disaster Recovery
Isn't remote backup a DR solution?
Yes. Remote backup will provide your school with a basic disaster recovery solution by securely backing up all of your files, emails and databases each night. This provides peace of mind that you can recover your data from any disaster or failure, however the restore of the data and/or reconfiguration of new equipment for the data to reside on may take longer than you would like depending on the type of data and available resources.
​
​
ProActive Disaster Recovery takes your backup solution to a new level to minimise the downtime between failure and recovery.
​
​
Proactive DR
Our Proactive DR solution will take daily, encrypted snapshots of your servers and store them in our UK data centres. In the event of a disaster, you can not only restore your data but all of the servers including their configuration by restoring a small number of large files. In most cases this will reduce the total downtime following a disaster by 50%. Combined with remote backup, for the restore of individual files instead of an entire system, this will provide your school with a simple, cost effective disaster recovery solution.
​
Real-Time DR
Real-Time DR does not require you to restore anything, simply invoke DR over the phone and your computer system will become live in our secure Private Education Network and will be as up to date as possible (a few minutes behind the original system), enabling you to continue working at school if you still have an Internet connection, or from another location if required.
