• Rapid Recovery: Quick restoration of data and systems to minimise downtime.
• Data Integrity: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of your backups.
• Scalable Solutions: Customisable plans to fit the unique needs of your business.
• Power Outage / Test Power Checks: We verify your infrastructures resilience through test power checks – ensuring safe hardware power-down and system uptime in the event of an outage.
• Scheduled Test Restores: Regularly scheduled test restores to verify that backups are functioning correctly and can be restored efficiently.

At ADM, we understand that when it comes to you and your data – there is not a single solution that fits the needs of all businesses. When evaluating options, it’s important to consider the various types of backups available and how they align with your business needs.

• On-site backups involve storing data locally on physical media such as external hard drives or NAS devices. This method offers immediate access to data and is cost-effective, but it is vulnerable to local disasters like fires or floods.
• Off-site backups, on the other hand, store data in a different physical location, often using cloud storage or remote data centres. This approach provides protection against local disasters and enhanced security.
• Cloud backups are another viable option, storing copies of your data in off-site data centres managed by third-party providers. Cloud backups require less management, but are dependant on internet connectivity and may pose security risks if not properly managed by your chosen third-party provider.
• Microsoft 365 backup solutions are designed to protect data within the Microsoft 365 environment, including emails, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. These solutions integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365, providing automated backups and protection.

Make it immutable. Immutable backups are designed to be unchangeable once created, protecting backed up data from being altered or deleted. This high level of security is particularly effective against ransomware attacks that have breached the backup, as they are unable to alter or delete data.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services offer advanced threat detection and response capabilities at a premium. These services provide 24/7 monitoring and analysis by a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts. These teams, comprised of dozens of skilled analysts, leverage advanced tools and threat intelligence to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in real-time. This continuous monitoring ensures that any potential security incidents are swiftly addressed, enhancing your overall security posture and complimenting your disaster recovery plan.

When choosing a backup solution, it’s also essential to consider the broader context of disaster recovery and business continuity. A comprehensive disaster recovery plan should include regular testing of backups to ensure they can be restored efficiently, clear documentation of recovery procedures, and employee training on data protection protocols. Implementing a combination of on-site, off-site, and cloud backups, along with advanced options like immutable backups can provide robust protection and ensure business continuity.
