Cloud Backup in Durham
Backing up a Durham business's servers, endpoints and cloud services to storage held away from your premises and away from your network. It is the copy that survives the fire, the theft and — increasingly the reason people call — the ransomware that encrypted everything reachable from a domain account.
Why this comes up
The problem
Backups held on the same network as the data are reachable by anything that compromises that network. Modern ransomware looks for them deliberately and encrypts them first.
What you get
What we deliver
- Servers, endpoints and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace all covered by one policy
- Storage held off site and off network, outside the reach of a domain compromise
- Immutable retention, so a copy cannot be altered or deleted even with valid credentials
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with keys held where you can actually reach them
- Restore testing on a schedule, evidenced rather than assumed
- Retention periods set to your sector's requirement rather than a vendor default

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Cloud Backup in Durham — common questions
- Does Microsoft 365 already back up our email and files?
- Not in the sense people mean. It replicates for availability and keeps deleted items for a limited window, and Microsoft's own terms place data protection with the customer. A mailbox deleted with a leaver six months ago is gone.
- What makes a backup ransomware-proof?
- Immutability. A copy that cannot be modified or deleted for a set period, even by someone holding administrator credentials. Backups reachable with domain credentials are the ones attackers encrypt before they encrypt anything else.
- How much does it cost to store?
- It depends on volume and retention, and both get sized against what you actually have rather than a guess. Long retention on large datasets is where costs climb, and tiering older copies to colder storage usually handles it.
- How quickly could we restore?
- Individual files, minutes. A full server from off-site storage is bounded by your internet connection, which is why local and cloud copies together are the usual arrangement — fast recovery from one, survivability from the other.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
