Managed Backup

Protecting critical data is essential to keeping your organisation running. ITHelpDirect provides fully managed backup solutions that keep your files, systems and applications secure and recoverable. Automated backups, encryption and continuous monitoring help protect against hardware failure, accidental deletion, cyberattacks and unexpected disruption.

We manage the complete process, from initial setup and retention policies to monitoring and recovery. If data is lost or a system becomes unavailable, our team can restore your information quickly and minimise downtime—giving you confidence that your essential data remains protected and accessible when needed.

Free Backup Review

Unsure whether your current backups provide the protection you need? ITHelpDirect offers a free, no-obligation backup review for schools and businesses. We’ll assess your setup, identify potential gaps and recommend practical improvements to strengthen data protection and recovery.

Onsite and Offsite Backup Storage

We use a hybrid backup approach that combines fast onsite recovery with secure offsite cloud storage. Our onsite backups allow us to restore deleted or damaged files quickly, while encrypted offsite copies protect your organisation against hardware failure, cyberattacks, fire and other major incidents. We store offsite data in UK-based, ISO-certified data centres, keeping your information secure, compliant and accessible.

Virtual Machine and Server Backup

We provide comprehensive backup protection for both virtual machines and physical servers. Rather than backing up individual files, we capture complete system images so entire machines can be restored quickly to existing hardware, replacement equipment or a cloud environment. Whether you use VMware, Hyper-V, physical servers or a mixed setup, we keep every system protected and ready for recovery.

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Backup

ITHelpDirect provides secure, automated backups for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, protecting your emails, files and collaboration data against accidental deletion, ransomware and data corruption. This includes Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Google Drive and Gmail.

Our backups run automatically in the background and create multiple recovery points throughout the day. Whether you need to recover one email, individual files or an entire user account, we make it quick and straightforward to restore your data and keep your organisation running.

Our solutions run automatically in the background, capturing multiple restore points each day and storing data securely in UK-based, compliant data centres. With fast recovery options and granular restore capabilities, we make it easy to retrieve individual files, emails, or entire accounts when needed keeping your business or school productive and fully protected in the cloud.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Backing up your data is only part of being prepared. We create tailored disaster recovery and business continuity plans to help your organisation keep operating during disruption and recover quickly afterwards. By documenting recovery procedures, testing restoration processes and planning for different scenarios, we minimise downtime and make sure your team knows exactly what to do.

Data Protection and Compliance

We build data protection into every backup solution we provide. Your data is encrypted during transfer and while stored, held securely in UK-based, ISO-certified data centres and monitored to ensure its integrity. We also use strict access controls and role-based permissions, helping schools and businesses meet their data protection and compliance responsibilities.

Continuous Monitoring and Management

Our backup systems are fully managed and monitored 24/7. We perform regular integrity checks, test restores, and track every backup cycle to ensure complete reliability. Our proactive reporting keeps you informed, while our support team resolves issues before they become risks. With ITHelpDirect managing your backups, you get guaranteed consistency, compliance, and rapid recovery whenever needed.

Ransomware Protection and Immutable Backups

We help protect your organisation against ransomware with secure, incremental and immutable backups. By creating multiple restore points and maintaining previous file versions, clean copies of your data remain available even if live files are encrypted, corrupted or deleted during an attack.

Our immutable backups are stored in protected environments where they cannot be altered or removed during a defined retention period. Combined with 24/7 monitoring and regular integrity testing, this provides reliable recovery points and allows us to restore your critical data quickly following an incident.
