Backup Solutions

Business owners have long recognised the importance of data to an organisation. So why do we fail to safeguard this critical data? Data loss occurs in businesses every day, all around the world. It can be the result of hardware failures, natural disasters, Ransomware, or something as simple as accidental deletion.

Bluescope offer image-based backup solutions for Workstations (available on both Windows and Mac) and Servers.

Bluescope can implement and manage a backup solution for your business. Each backup can be deployed in a matter of minutes, either remotely or on-site. If you are interested in Managed Backup, please fill out our form below to receive a tailored quote.

Who it is for: Managed Backup is available to businesses that are Bluescope clients, either on a Managed Services Agreement or with a Bluescope Direct Support package. It is not available to home users or as a standalone product.

The price for Managed Backup for Workstation and Server is €34.99 per workstation or server, per month (ex VAT).

Bluescope offer an image-based backup solution to businesses, also known as a bare metal backup. This type of backup is more than just your files and folders, but a copy of your entire system. It is a backup of your files, folders, applications, and your Operating System (OS).

With Managed Backup, you have the flexibility to not only restore your entire system, but you have the ability to recover data at a file and folder level, if you so choose.

Our backup solution includes up to 1000GB of storage per workstation or server for €34.99 per month (ex VAT). Our solution is GDPR compliant and all backups are securely stored offsite in our EU datacentres, for added protection against disaster.

If hardware fails or your system becomes corrupted, Managed Backup can have it back up and running exactly as it was before.

A data backup is simply just a copy of your files. But a backup is also so much more than that. Without even realising, data is the backbone to most businesses.

Could your business survive after suffering a huge loss of data?

Loss of data unfortunately occurs in businesses every day. This can happen as a result of hardware failures, natural disasters, Ransomware, or even accidental deletion. Loss of data can cost a business millions and can be truly catastrophic.

Depending on the size of your files and internet speed, a backup can be taken quickly and efficiently without disruption to your machine or business.

So why is it that we can dismiss backing up our data when it’s that easy?

The 3-2-1 rule is a widely used guideline for keeping data safe:

• 3 copies of your data: the original and two backups
• 2 different types of storage, so one fault cannot affect every copy
• 1 copy kept offsite, away from your premises

Many businesses now also keep one copy that cannot be changed or deleted, so ransomware cannot encrypt the backups too, and they test restores regularly. A backup that has never been restored is one you cannot fully rely on.

No backup strategy can guarantee that data will never be lost, but following the 3-2-1 rule greatly reduces the risk. Our Managed Backup keeps an offsite copy of each workstation or server in our EU datacentres, which covers the offsite part of the rule. We can advise on the rest as part of your business continuity planning.
