Data Backup & Disaster Recovery for European Businesses

Data loss is no longer hypothetical — it's a business risk. Our Backup-as-a-Service and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) programs ensure your systems and data are protected, quickly recoverable, and compliant with EU regulations. We design recovery plans (RPO/RTO), automate backups, and validate restores — so outages become manageable events, not business crises.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Why a recovery-first strategy matters

Ransomware, hardware failures, accidental deletions, and cloud misconfigurations put data at risk. A tested Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) with clear RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) targets reduces downtime, limits data loss, and protects revenue and reputation. Our approach focuses on prevention, automated recovery, and routine validation so you can recover fast and prove compliance.

Backup & Disaster Recovery services we provide

Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS)

Automated, encrypted backups to cloud or hybrid storage.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Rapid failover to cloud-based replicas for critical systems.

RPO / RTO Planning & SLAs

Business-aligned objectives and documented SLAs.

Backup for Virtual, Physical & Cloud Workloads

VMs, servers, databases, SaaS data (Office365/G-Suite).

Immutable Backups & Ransomware Protection

Write-once storage and air-gapped retention.

Cross-region Replication & Geo-resilience

EU-region replication for data residency.

Recovery Testing & DR Runbooks

Quarterly drills, audit-ready reports.

Retention Policies & Long-term Archive

Compliance-focused retention (GDPR, industry rules).

Monitoring, Alerting & Reporting

Weekly/monthly recovery health reports.

Business benefits you can measure

Minimal downtime: meet your RTO targets and resume operations fast.
Limited data loss: tailored RPOs to protect critical data.
Regulatory readiness: retention and documentation for GDPR & audits.
Reduced operational burden: offload backups and DR testing to experts.
Predictable costs: OPEX model with transparent pricing and predictable spend.
Peace of mind: validated recoveries and SLA-backed support.

Get started with your DR assessment

Enterprise-grade architecture for guaranteed recovery

Encrypted backups (at-rest and in-transit) using keys managed in EU regions.
Immutable/Write-Once storage to protect against ransomware tampering.
Multi-site replication with cross-region failover within EU regions.
Agentless backups for VMs and native integration for databases (SQL/Postgres), containers (PV snapshot), and SaaS connectors (Office365, Google Workspace).
Automated orchestration for DR failover and rollback with runbook-driven sequences.
Monitoring & telemetry for backup success rates, duration, and recovery time estimations.

RTO and RPO — measurable recovery targets

We help you define realistic, business-aligned RTOs (how quickly you must be back online) and RPOs (how much data you can afford to lose).

Mission-critical apps

RTO: < 1 hour
RPO: < 15 minutes

DRaaS with continuous replication

Core transactional systems

RTO: 2–4 hours
RPO: 30–60 minutes

Non-critical workloads

RTO: 24+ hours
RPO: daily snapshot

Use the downloadable RTO/RPO calculator to estimate costs and risk trade-offs.

GDPR-aware backup & retention practices

We keep backups and archives in EU regions by default and maintain audit trails and DPIAs on request. Retention schedules, access controls, and data minimization policies help you meet sector rules (finance, healthcare, SaaS) and simplify audits.

Deliverables:

  • Data flow diagrams
  • Retention & deletion reports
  • Audit log exports

Regular testing — the only proof that recovery works

Automated backups are not enough — you must restore. We run quarterly restore drills, produce test reports with timestamps, and maintain a recovery certificate you can present to stakeholders and auditors. Tests include full VM restore, DB point-in-time recovery, and full-site DR exercises.

Case study — SaaS vendor: avoided 72 hours of downtime with DR failover

When a single-site outage threatened a SaaS vendor's operations, our DRaaS solution enabled failover to an EU replica. The full service was restored in just 45 minutes, saving an estimated €150k in lost revenue.

Downtime Avoided Chart

Flexible pricing — backed by SLAs

Core BaaS (SMB)

Daily backups, 30-day retention, monthly reporting.

Business BCDR

Hourly backups, immutable retention, quarterly DR tests.

Enterprise DRaaS

Continuous replication, sub-hour RTOs, on-site recovery support and dedicated account manager.

Example SLAs

  • Backup success > 99.9% monthly
  • P1 restore support within 30 minutes (Enterprise)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup stores copies of data for restore; disaster recovery provides the ability to run systems (failover) and resume operations quickly after an outage. DR includes orchestration, runbooks and failover testing.

How often should backups be tested?

We recommend quarterly full restores and monthly partial restores for critical systems. Tests are documented and results are shared in a DR report.

Does DRaaS keep data in the EU?

Yes — we default to EU-region replication to meet data residency and GDPR requirements. We can also configure country-specific regions on request.

Can you protect SaaS data like Office365?

Yes — we support SaaS connectors that snapshot mailboxes, OneDrive, and SharePoint with retention controls.
