Secure Offsite Backup

Here at CNS we believe that backing up your data is one of the most important parts of our support services, so we focus closely on backup strategies. In our view, protecting your critical data needs to be given at least as much attention (if not more), than protecting your premises or your physical assets.

Our experienced engineers will work with you to understand your business data priorities and budget, to build a custom backup strategy and to ensure that your business can quickly recover in the event of a severe data loss (see DR Planning)
You can rest easy in the knowledge that CNS has your company’s data protection needs covered;

• An engineer will personally check your backup every day. This activity will be logged, and you can ask for a record of this.
• State of the art software monitors file integrity and encryption, to make sure your data is secure.
• Electronic copies are kept on disk based storage instead of old-style tape systems.
• Encryption is of the highest level, and is to the standard recognised and supported by military and financial service companies.

Onsite Backup

Our strategy is to backup all your data onto cost effective NAS (Network Attached Hard Disk) storage. This use of low-cost, high-capacity hard disks means that we can keep a significant historical data archive, allowing your company to have access to data that is weeks or even months old.

Our onsite strategy also ensures that your servers are backed up, allowing for the fastest possible recovery from a dead server situation.

We believe that offsite backup should be available to all companies regardless of size or internet connectivity. CNS has invested significantly in the best available offsite backup product for our customers, making no compromise on security, quality or speed.

All companies may be different, but they have one thing in common – not all of a company’s data is truly ‘critical’.

We work closely with your employees to establish which data is truly critical to your business, and ensure that this is the data that is sent offsite to our secure datacentre. This is a more economical approach than saving 100% of your data, but still makes you resilient in the event of a disaster (see DR Planning).
