The Importance of Data Backup and Recovery
Data backup and recovery play a crucial role in safeguarding your digital assets. Backups are secure copies of critical information, which allow you to quickly restore data in case of loss due to hardware failures, cyberattacks, or human error. Having a reliable backup strategy ensures peace of mind and maintains business continuity, especially in today’s world where data loss incidents are increasingly common.
At Revolution, we provide three types of backup:
1. Microsoft 365 Backup
Data Backup for Microsoft 365 (SaaS Backup)
Most people don’t realise that Microsoft is NOT backing up your data. In their terms of service, it says that backup is the responsibility of the customer. While Microsoft provides a form of ‘versioning history’ for files, a true backup service is required to protect your documents and email from accidental or malicious deletion, file corruption, or cyber-attacks.
Backup for Microsoft 365 accounts is a very cost-effective method of protecting data.


2. Cloud Backup
Cloud backup for computers and key workstations
Often businesses have mission-critical computers that must be resurrected quickly and without data loss in the event of failure. These might be computers with special software, VIP users, Server PCs, or production computers. Failure of these computers would affect company operations so the data must be accurately copied and stored offsite. This is where our cloud backup service shines – a complete backup image of the critical computer is copied multiple times a day to our datacentre ensuring your data, settings, and applications are kept safe and ready to be restored at a moment’s notice.
We offer two types of cloud data backup:
- Cloud Backup PC: a complete image of your PC backed up to cloud with a 500GB data limit
- Cloud Backup Server: a complete image of your Server PC or Key Workstation backed up to cloud multiple times per day with a 1TB data limit. This service includes critical backup recovery testing
3. BCDR Solutions
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
BCDR combines 2 key concepts for modern workplaces: Data Backup and Business Continuity
Data Backup: Our BCDR solution combines an on-site backup device with a secure cloud backup service. This gives the best of both worlds – speedy recovery from an onsite backup device AND secure offsite cloud storage to be used in the event of a disaster.
Business Continuity: Our BCDR devices can also be a stand-in server for your business. By spinning this device up either locally or from the cloud, we can ensure your business is always running if your server fails or must be taken offline for repairs.
BCDR Solutions offer:
- Backup: Automatically creates secure copies of your data, ensuring it’s safe from accidental deletion, hardware failures, or cyber threats.
