By combining enterprise-class technology with outstanding support and customer service, BackupVault can take the stress out of protecting your data.
Our UK cloud online backup service is designed specifically to protect your digital assets. Powered by Redstor software it is reliable, secure, automated and scalable meaning it’s built to grow with your business or organisation.
How does cloud backup work?
Cloud backup is the process of protecting your organisation’s data by encrypting information and sending it over the internet to a secure offsite server. Backing up to the cloud mitigates the risk of onsite threats like fire, flood, hardware issues, user error and most commonly now – ransomware.
Our service involves installing a small piece of backup software on your computer or server which sends your data securely, via an internet connection to our secure UK data centre. This is performed automatically each day or as many times as you wish.
What sort of data can BackupVault protect?
The BackupVault cloud backup service can protect almost anything. Most common are simple files and folders, but we can also backup VSS aware databases such as MS SQL and Exchange. Other databases and systems such as MySQL and PostgreSQL can also be protected.
VMWare and Hyper-V can be protected, and full server backups are supported to reduce recovery time significantly.
We are also able to provide specialist backup for schools, working with systems such as the Capita School Information Management System (SIMS).
Other Backup Solutions
BackupVault offers a range of scalable solutions that work across your IT environment so you can protect critical data on your server networks and end user workstations.

The initial upload speed depends on how much data you have, how it compresses and crucially how fast your upload internet connection is. Our free snapshot service also allows for larger initial backups to be sent to an encrypted USB disk, which is imported directly into our storage servers.

Common Cloud Backup Questions
Why do organisations use cloud backup?
It’s secure, completely automatic and offsite. It is also easy to use and requires very little user intervention. You will never again need to remember to change tapes or disks – everything “just works”.
As the cloud backup service is completely managed we will do all the hard work for you. We also offer 24-hour telephone and email support as standard which one of the many reasons our customers choose BackupVault.
Is it cloud backup secure?
At BackupVault we take your privacy and security very seriously. With our secure cloud backup solution, your data is encrypted on your PC/server with the encryption key known only to you. The encrypted data is transferred over the Internet to our secure servers where it remains encrypted ready for rapid restoration. Our datacentres are also state of the art with numerous physical security measures in place.
How much does cloud backup cost?
Cloud backup pricing can vary widely depending on the provider, your requirements and how software providers structure fees for their services.
As well as checking what’s included in the price, it’s important to consider how efficient the service is as you may find the backup storage you thought you paid for exceeds the agreed capacity very quickly. Our business cloud backup starts from as little as £20 per month. The price you pay depends on your data storage requirements.
This is often much less than you think, so we highly recommend speaking to us for an accurate quote.
How do you use cloud backup?
To use cloud backup, you need to install our backup client on a laptop, desktop or server. You can then select which data you want to backup to the cloud and how often. Once this has been set up your backup will run automatically in the background. It’s a set and forget user experience – until you need it.
How do you access cloud backup files?
Your cloud backup files can be accessed in several ways. The most common route is to open the backup client software, select Restore, then pick a date and the files/folders to restore.
You can also mount a virtual drive on any PC and restore data from there.
What Our Clients Say
Martyn Kaye
Heatmiser UK
“We have used BackupVault for several years now after trying many other systems and being dissatisfied. Backup systems only prove their worth when a system failure happens, and after such a failure BackupVault worked above and beyond what was expected to get our systems operational, involving restoring a large SQL DB. Their UK based phone support and proactive support are the primary reasons why I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BackupVault.”
Richard French
ME French & Co

Ian Hobson
Magic Eye Consulting
“As Accountants secure back up of sensitive client data is essential. BackupVault fulfils all our requirements with the highest levels of encryption. Their service is fantastic with fast efficient support. We have tried other companies before but BackupVault is the best both for service and value for money. A great UK based company.”
Jacqui Katz
Fresh Property Management Ltd
“I just had to drop you an email to say a huge thank you for your continued assistance. Being secure in the knowledge that all our data is backed up daily off site is a huge comfort to us and as has been recently shown works superbly when our system crashed in the office and you were able to restore all our information remotely and we were back up and running in no time at all. Your swift and efficient response time enabled us to continue working without any loss of service to our clients – who could ask for more.”
Hilary Graham
Affinity Villas
“Apart from the fact that you don’t need to remember to back up your data or remind anyone else to do it, the service is invaluable when something goes wrong. We lost the data on our NAS drive but with the swift response received from BackupVault, the data was restored in less than two hours. Would highly recommend this service to anyone.”
