Microsoft 365, servers and business data
Backup that covers the workloads businesses rely on every working day.
Backup & Business Continuity
Managed backup that supports recovery and business continuity
DP-Solutions Managed Backup helps businesses across Somerset, Dorset and the South West protect Microsoft 365 data, servers, databases and critical files with managed backup, monitoring and practical restore support. The aim is not simply having copies somewhere, but knowing what is protected, how recovery works and who helps when something goes wrong.
Monitored managed backup
Jobs, storage and backup health kept under review instead of left to assumption.
Recovery support when it matters
Help with restore planning and practical recovery when systems or data need to come back.
Managed backup with practical ownership
Having a backup somewhere is not the same as being ready to recover
Backups only help if the right data is protected, jobs are completing as expected and somebody knows how recovery will work when the pressure is real.
DP-Solutions Managed Backup is positioned around that wider responsibility. That includes helping businesses decide what needs protecting, where copies should live, how much history matters, how Microsoft 365, servers, databases and shared files fit together, and what restoring them would actually involve.
For some organisations that means a straightforward cloud or off-site backup arrangement. For others it means combining local and off-site copies, reviewing server and database protection more carefully, or bringing backup monitoring into a wider continuity conversation.
Monitoring matters as much as scheduling
A backup job that fails quietly can leave a business exposed. Managed review helps spot problems before a restore is needed.
Recovery matters as much as retention
The useful question is not only how many copies exist, but whether the right data can be restored sensibly when the business needs it back.
Backup supports continuity, it does not replace it
Good backup is one layer of resilience alongside security, infrastructure, user practice and wider continuity planning.
What we help with
Backup, recovery and continuity support built around real business risk
DP-Solutions helps businesses review the data they rely on most, protect it more sensibly and build a more practical route back when files, systems or services need to be restored.
When something goes wrong
Restore decisions matter more than backup assumptions
When data is deleted, a server fails or ransomware leaves systems unusable, the important question is not whether a business once set up a backup. It is whether the right copies exist, whether they are current enough to help and how the restore will actually be handled.
Backup can support recovery planning after ransomware or other disruption, but it does not prevent attacks or guarantee recovery on its own. That is why backup needs to sit alongside cyber security and the wider continuity plan rather than being treated as the whole answer.
Clearer view of what is protected
Reviewing workloads, retention and backup scope helps reduce false confidence around copies that do not actually cover the business-critical data.
Off-site resilience where it is genuinely needed
Cloud and off-site copies can add resilience when local failure, theft, outage or site-level disruption would otherwise leave the business exposed.
Recovery planning with less avoidable downtime
Knowing what can be restored, in what order and with whose support helps the business respond more sensibly when pressure is real.
Relevant technology context
Storage and protected workloads kept in the right backup context
DP-Solutions Managed Backup can protect business data across local systems and cloud workloads without turning the service into a one-product pitch. Wasabi is relevant as a cloud storage layer, while Microsoft 365 is a protected workload many businesses need to cover independently.
Wasabi cloud storage
Cloud storage can form part of the off-site backup layer where resilient external copies are useful. This page does not make a UK storage-region claim because the live customer storage region has not been separately verified here.
Microsoft 365 protected workloads
Independent backup can matter for Exchange Online business email, OneDrive files, SharePoint content and Teams-related business data where the organisation needs clearer recovery options.
Server, database and business data recovery
Practical backup planning still needs to reflect file servers, application data, database protection and the order in which services would actually need to be restored.
Connected services
Backup works best as part of a wider resilience conversation
Recovery planning is stronger when the surrounding IT environment is considered too. These related DP-Solutions services often shape the same business-risk conversation.
Backup & Business Continuity FAQ
Common questions before you get in touch
If your business is reviewing backup arrangements, recovery expectations or continuity planning, these are some of the practical questions that often come up first.
What should a business back up?
That depends on how the business actually works, but it often includes Microsoft 365 data, servers, file shares, application data, databases and other critical documents that would cause disruption if they were lost.
Do we need separate Microsoft 365 backup?
Many businesses do. Microsoft 365 is a core working environment for email, files and collaboration, so independent backup can provide clearer recovery options for important business data.
Can you back up servers and databases as well as files?
Yes. Server data, shared files and database-related protection can all be reviewed as part of a sensible business backup strategy, with the recovery requirements considered alongside the backup method.
How do we know backups are actually working?
That is where managed monitoring and review matter. A backup arrangement should not rely only on hope or a one-off setup. Job health, storage status and restore expectations all need periodic attention.
Can you help restore deleted data or failed systems?
Yes. Restore support is part of the wider service, whether the issue is deleted files, a server problem or a broader recovery question after disruption.
Does backup protect us from ransomware?
Backup can support recovery planning after ransomware, but it does not prevent attacks or guarantee recovery on its own. It should sit alongside sensible cyber-security measures and a wider continuity approach.
What is the difference between backup and business continuity?
Backup is about recoverable copies of data and systems. Recovery is about restoring them. Business continuity is the wider planning that helps the organisation keep operating during disruption. Backup is one important layer, not the whole continuity plan.
Can DP-Solutions review our existing backup arrangement?
Yes. Many businesses already have some form of backup in place, but need a clearer review of what it covers, how it is monitored and whether the recovery plan still matches the current environment.
