Website Backup in Durham
Backing up Durham organisations' sites so that recovery is actually possible. Two arrangements fail the moment they are needed: copies stored on the same server as the site, and copies nobody has ever restored. Both are extremely common and both feel like protection right up until they are tested.
Why this comes up
The problem
Backups are running somewhere, of unknown scope and age, and nobody has attempted a restore or knows how long one would take.
What you get
What we deliver
- Files and database captured together, since either alone restores nothing usable
- Copies held off the server and outside the hosting account
- Retention set to reach back beyond how long a problem might go unnoticed
- Restores tested on a schedule, which is the only proof a backup works
- Recovery time established, so expectations are set before an incident
- Backups protected from deletion, because ransomware targets them deliberately

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.

Website Backup in Durham — common questions
- Is our host's backup enough?
- It is a useful layer and a poor sole defence. Host backups live inside the account being protected, so a compromised or suspended account can take them with it, and retention is often shorter than the time a problem takes to surface. A second, independent copy is the point.
- How far back should they go?
- Further than the time a problem might go undetected. A corrupted database noticed a week later is unrecoverable from three days of retention. Keeping daily copies for a month and periodic ones for longer costs very little and covers the realistic scenarios.
- Why test restores?
- Because untested backups fail exactly when needed — a partial database, missing uploads, a schedule that stopped silently months ago. A restore into a test environment twice a year takes an hour and is the difference between having backups and hoping.
- What about ransomware?
- Modern attacks look for backups and encrypt or delete them first, which is why copies reachable with the same credentials as the site are not protection. Storage with retention locks or write-once policies is what keeps a recovery point genuinely available.
- 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.
