Backup and Disaster Recovery in London
Making sure a London business can actually come back after fire, flood, hardware failure or ransomware. Backup is the copy; disaster recovery is the plan for using it under pressure — and the second one is what most businesses discover they never had.
Why this comes up
The problem
Almost every business has backups. Far fewer have ever restored one, and fewer still know how long a full recovery would take or who would run it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Recovery point and recovery time objectives agreed per system, in business terms
- Backups following the 3-2-1 principle, with a copy that ransomware cannot reach
- Immutable or air-gapped copies, since modern attacks target the backups first
- Restores tested on a schedule and evidenced, not assumed from a green job status
- A written recovery plan naming who does what, usable by someone other than the author
- An annual rehearsal, because a plan nobody has practised is a document rather than a capability

Working in London
London
London clients usually come to us because they want senior people actually on their project rather than a large agency's B team, and because Midlands rates buy considerably more delivery per pound.
Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates.

Backup and Disaster Recovery in London — common questions
- We have backups already. What is missing?
- Usually three things: a tested restore, a copy the attacker cannot delete, and a written plan for who does what. Ransomware groups specifically target backup systems first, so a backup reachable with domain credentials is not a backup for that scenario.
- How long would recovery actually take?
- That is the question the plan has to answer, and it is measured during a test rather than estimated. Businesses routinely assume hours and discover days once restore speed and rebuild sequence are accounted for.
- What is the 3-2-1 rule?
- Three copies of the data, on two different media, with one held off site. Modern practice adds one immutable copy, because the off-site copy is worth little if it can be encrypted from the same network.
- Does Microsoft 365 back itself up?
- Not in the way people assume. It replicates for availability and retains deleted items briefly, and Microsoft states that data protection is the customer's responsibility. A separate backup is needed and is very often absent.
- Do you work with businesses across Greater London?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout London, including London and the surrounding Greater London area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of London businesses do you usually work with?
- Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Professional Services, Technology, Media, Hospitality and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around London?
- Yes — we work throughout London, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Brighton. London is an urban area of roughly 9,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater London region rather than the city boundary alone.
