Cloud Backups
From documents to client information, marketing materials to financial records, emails, and much more besides, losing access to your critical business data could bring your operations to a halt.
Cloud backups keep your data safe, secure, accessible, and recoverable, no matter what happens.
At TwentyFour IT Services, we make sure your critical data, no matter where it is stored, is automatically backed up in an immutable state, giving you peace of mind that it can be restored quickly if disaster strikes.
What are Cloud Backups?
Cloud backups can come in two forms: "cloud backups" and "cloud-to-cloud backups," with distinct differences between the two.
Cloud backups store secure, immutable copies of your files, systems, and data on secure remote servers rather than only on your local computers or servers. This means that even if your office suffers a hardware failure, cyber attack, accidental deletion, or even a natural disaster, your information remains protected and recoverable, including in the cloud for quick service restoration.
Our managed backup solutions automatically encrypt and send your data to the cloud at regular intervals in line with your business continuity strategy, keeping it safe from loss, damage, or corruption.
Cloud to Cloud Backups
Many people mistakenly believe that storing their data in the cloud automatically backs it up; however, this is not the case. Yes, data stored in the cloud is inherently less prone to loss due to hardware redundancy within the data centres where it is stored. However, this does not mean you are immune to data loss.
Microsoft, for example, outlines its shared responsibility model, in which it provides the service and storage, while the end user/business is responsible for the data. Any data loss in the cloud due to deletion, human error, or a cyberattack is the responsibility of the user & not the cloud platform.
For example, in 2025, a Data Centre Fire in South Korea resulted in the loss of 858 TB of government files because the South Korean Government believed it could not back up that amount of data (which it could have).
Cloud-to-Cloud Backups ensure that your cloud data is automatically backed up to a secure, geographically separate location, in line with the 321 backup strategy.
Why does your business need cloud backups?
Protection against Cyber Attacks
Ransomware and malware can lock or destroy your files. With immutable cloud backups, you can restore clean versions of your data and get back up and running quickly.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Fires, floods, and hardware failures can happen to any business. Cloud backups ensure your data is available and recoverable even if your physical location or equipment isn't.
Automated, Hands-Off Backups
Once set up, backups happen automatically in the background. You can focus on running your business while we handle the technical side, monitoring and regularly validating backups to ensure that they can be recovered at any time.
Flexibility and scalability
As your business grows, so does your data. Cloud backups easily scale to meet your storage needs without the often-expensive hardware upgrades or replacements that often result in additional configuration challenges.
Compliance and Peace of Mind
Our solutions are fully compliant with UK Data Protection and GDPR requirements, as well as ISO27001 regulations, should your business look to become certified. You'll always know your data is stored safely and handled responsibly.
