Quick answer
Managed backup and disaster recovery means your data is automatically copied to secure, offsite storage and can be restored quickly if the worst happens. Foresight backs up your servers, endpoints and Microsoft 365, tests the recovery regularly, and keeps a clear disaster-recovery plan ready — so ransomware, accidental deletion or hardware failure never means losing your business data.
Why it matters
A disaster shouldn’t mean losing your data
Data loss rarely announces itself. A ransomware attack, a deleted folder, a failed server or a departing employee — any of these can wipe out data you can’t get back. And the real cost isn’t just the data; it’s the downtime while you scramble to recover. A managed, tested backup turns a potential disaster into a minor inconvenience.
The blind spot
Microsoft 365 is not backed up for you
Here’s what catches most businesses out: Microsoft doesn’t back up your Microsoft 365 data for you. Under Microsoft’s shared-responsibility model they keep the service running — but your emails, files, Teams messages and SharePoint data are your responsibility. Native retention is limited, and once it lapses (or a mailbox is deleted), that data is gone. A dedicated Microsoft 365 backup closes that gap.
What we deliver
Backup and recovery, done properly
| What we protect | How |
|---|---|
| Servers & endpoints | Automated image and file-level backup of your servers, PCs and laptops — on-site and offsite. |
| Microsoft 365 | Full backup of Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, retained on your terms, not Microsoft’s. |
| Offsite & immutable copies | Encrypted, offsite backups — with immutable options ransomware can’t alter — following the 3-2-1 principle. |
| Tested recovery | We regularly test restores and track your recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO). A backup you haven’t tested isn’t a backup. |
| Disaster recovery plan | A documented plan to get your whole business back online after a major incident — not just individual files. |
| Ransomware recovery | Clean, isolated copies so we can restore rather than pay a ransom. |
We build backup and disaster recovery into your wider cyber resilience, alongside our data security and Cyber Essentials work.
This isn’t theory. We provide secure offsite backup for organisations like Kingfisher Learning Trust and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice. Backup and disaster recovery sit at the heart of data security and cyber resilience — and tested backups are exactly what stop a ransomware attack from becoming a ransom payment.
