Why your business needs managed backups
For most businesses, data is the most valuable part of their IT. Hardware can be replaced at a price, but customer records, accounts and project files cannot. Data can be lost in seconds through ransomware, fire, theft, sabotage or a failed hard drive.
There are several ways to back up, on site and off site. For the best protection, Cortec IT recommends an automated, encrypted offsite backup that is managed and monitored for you, so you never have to wonder whether last night’s backup worked. Read why backups are your last line of defence against ransomware.
Getting the right backup solution can be more affordable than you think. Contact our account managers for a tailored quote.

Data backup FAQs
What is a managed backup service?
A managed backup service means we set up, run and monitor your backups for you. Your data is backed up automatically, encrypted and stored offsite, and we check every day that it worked.
Where is my backed-up data stored?
Your data is encrypted and stored on secure UK-based servers, separate from your office network.
Can backups protect us from ransomware?
Yes. A separate, offsite copy that ransomware cannot reach means you can restore clean data instead of paying a ransom.
How quickly can we restore data?
Single files can usually be restored in minutes. Full systems depend on the amount of data, and we plan recovery targets with you in advance.
Do we need to back up Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft keeps the service running, but your data is your responsibility. We back up email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams separately.
