It is crucial that every business has a clear backup and disaster recovery strategy and plan. Labyrinth carries out a complete annual review of this for our outsourced IT Support clients.
We work closely with a handful of specialist vendors to deliver a wide range of backup and disaster recovery solutions for our clients, irrespective of their size or sector.
Even if your business is already using Cloud services such as Microsoft 365 it is essential that you backup your data. Cloud service providers often have warnings buried in their terms and conditions that indemnify them against any loss!

Once we have worked with you to agree a backup and disaster recovery strategy, and implemented the necessary solutions, we will continually monitor your backups. We can also schedule periodic restoration tests.
It is crucial to understand the difference between file synchronisation, backup, and disaster recovery. File synchronisation between devices is not a backup solution.
It is also important to consider that systems like Microsoft 365 only include very basic backups which are built into the platform and not replicated to a third party. Microsoft’s terms and conditions are clear that you are responsible for your data and they recommend arranging your own backups.

- An annual review of your backup and disaster recovery strategy. This will involve all relevant stakeholders in your business
