Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery in Cheshire
Running and restoring are different claims. Only one of them saves you.
Almost every Cheshire business has backups running somewhere. Far fewer have ever watched one come back. "We think the backups work" is a hope rather than a recovery plan, and you find out which it was on the worst morning of the year. We build backup and disaster recovery across your endpoints, Microsoft 365 and cloud infrastructure, then test a full restore every quarter and show you the results.
Cheshire is half an hour away. Our office is Thursby House in Bromborough, and we support businesses from Chester and Ellesmere Port through to Warrington, Northwich and Crewe. You deal with Eric, who does the work, not a ticket queue and not a call centre.
Six questions, about two minutes. You get a written fix list in the order worth closing things, and it is yours to keep whether we ever speak or not.
Four Layers of Protection for Cheshire Businesses
Business continuity is not just backups. It is prevention, protection, backup, and tested recovery working together.
Endpoint Backup
Every laptop and workstation backed up automatically. Remote workers covered. Full machine recovery, not just files. Offsite copies that ransomware cannot reach. Tested quarterly.
Microsoft 365 Backup
Microsoft does not back up your M365 data. If an employee deletes a SharePoint library or an attacker wipes a mailbox, Microsoft's retention policies have limits. We maintain independent backups of email, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive with point-in-time recovery.
Cloud Disaster Recovery
Azure and cloud infrastructure with defined recovery targets. Documented failover procedures. Tested regularly so you know your recovery time before you need it, not after.
Prevention Layer
The best disaster recovery is the incident that never happens. Ransomware blocked at email. Phishing intercepted before it reaches inboxes. Breached credentials flagged before attackers use them. Continuous monitoring across your environment.
Quarterly Restore Drills. Published Results.
We do not just say backups work. We prove it every quarter with a full restore drill and publish the results. You get documented evidence that your business can recover, not just a promise.

Business Continuity FAQs for Cheshire Businesses
Does Microsoft not already back up our M365 data?
Microsoft provides limited retention, not backup. If data is deleted (accidentally or by an attacker), Microsoft's retention policies have time limits and gaps. Deleted SharePoint items, emptied mailboxes, and wiped OneDrive files can be permanently lost. Independent backup gives you point-in-time recovery regardless of what happens in your M365 tenant.
We already have backups. Why do we need more?
The question is not whether backups exist. It is whether they have been tested. Untested backups fail more often than businesses expect. We run quarterly restore drills and publish the results so you have documented proof your business can recover.
How quickly can you recover our data?
Recovery time depends on what failed and how much data is involved. We define recovery time objectives with you upfront and test against them quarterly. You know your recovery time before a disaster, not after one.
What makes your backups ransomware-proof?
We use immutable and air-gapped backup copies that cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware. Even if an attacker compromises your entire network, the backup copies remain untouched and recoverable.
Can you work alongside our existing IT provider?
Yes. Many businesses already have IT support handling day-to-day issues. We work alongside them as the specialist backup, disaster recovery, and security layer. Your IT handles tickets; we handle continuity.
Do you cover businesses across all of Cheshire?
Yes. We support businesses from Warrington to Crewe, Chester to Macclesfield, and everywhere in between. We are based in the North West with direct access to our team across the entire county.
