Backup & Cloud Backup
Protect business data across physical, virtual, cloud and hybrid environments with a backup service designed around how quickly you need to recover and how long your data needs to be retained.
FCS Protect does not force every customer into one platform. We assess the data, applications, infrastructure, retention requirements and recovery objectives first, then design a backup service around the outcome the business needs.
Depending on the environment, that may involve Asigra, Veeam, cloud storage, local recovery options, or a combination of technologies.
Managed backup services
FCS Protect can design, implement and manage backup solutions for servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads and SaaS data, including Microsoft 365 backup.
The right solution depends on what you need to protect, how quickly it needs to be recovered and where backup copies should be held. This can include local backup for fast recovery, secure off-site or cloud copies for resilience, and immutable storage options to help protect backup data from ransomware.
Our managed backup services can include backup monitoring, retention management, recovery support and regular recovery testing. Recovery tests can be carried out to confirm that protected systems and data can be restored successfully, with test reports provided as evidence of the recovery process and results. These reports can also support business continuity, audit and other assurance requirements.
Where appropriate, solutions can use technologies including Veeam, Asigra and Wasabi S3-compatible object storage, allowing us to select the technology and storage architecture that best fits the requirement rather than designing the requirement around a particular product.
Practical protection
A successful managed backup service is measured by how confidently data can be restored, not simply whether the latest backup job succeeded. We help customers define realistic recovery point and recovery time expectations, choose suitable retention, and keep recovery options clear and testable.
This keeps the service flexible as your environment changes, rather than tying your business to a single product or fixed design.
Managed backup FAQs
FCS Protect provides managed backup services for UK businesses, with the service, storage and recovery approach designed around the workloads being protected and the recovery outcome required.
A managed backup service gives FCS responsibility for agreed day-to-day backup activities such as monitoring, retention management, recovery support and service management. The exact scope is agreed around the customer environment and recovery requirements.
FCS can design protection for physical and virtual servers, cloud workloads and SaaS data including Microsoft 365. The appropriate technology is selected around the workload, retention and recovery requirements rather than forcing every environment onto one platform.
Backup copies can be designed around local, off-site and cloud storage requirements. Depending on the solution, this can include UK datacentre infrastructure or cloud object storage such as Wasabi, with encryption and immutability options where appropriate.
Yes. Where the existing platform and design are suitable, FCS can review an established backup environment and agree an appropriate level of ongoing monitoring, management and recovery support.
Where included in the service, FCS can carry out recovery testing to confirm that protected systems and data can be restored successfully. Test reports can provide documented evidence of the recovery process and results.
No hard sell, just a practical conversation about your requirements, risks and recovery objectives.
