Data Backup Digest

Redstor is a cloud backup, storage and disaster recovery service that was founded in 1998. Specifically, they launched their online backup service in 2005 and were one of the first companies in the UK to do so. They pride themselves on offering speedy, secure and cost-effective backup, meaning that you can recover any of your data at any point in time.

Not only can their service allow you to back up the data to the cloud, but it also has a hybrid feature which enables you to set up local storage hardware. This will mean that you have a third copy of your data on-site. A stable backup plan is all about redundancy, ensuring that you have a variety of copies of your data available. This hybrid plan ensures that you have a copy of your data off-site, but also one available nearby to enhance the speed of an emergency restoration.

Redstor allow you to recover directly onto bare metal or into a fully functioning virtual machine. This allows you to simplify your recovery and continuity process. You can also browse your remote backup data directly within Windows Explorer, dragging and dropping files to restore them or just opening them directly from the backup.

Data is also encrypted at source, in transit and at rest to ensure the ultimate protection. You can choose between 128-bit AES, 256-bit AES and 448-bit Blowfish encryption, with only you having access to the encryption key – which means that only you can decrypt and access the data, with Redstor not being able to access the data even if they wanted to.

Prices can be customised around retention periods and scaled up and down depending on your needs, including the level of support required and what type of implementation is needed. A unique Cloud Management Console ensures that company IT departments can monitor and manage their backups all the time, allowing for changes in schedules and automation with ease.

The backup technology has in-built WAN optimisation and acceleration, which will mean that your backups and restores will perform efficiently. There is also bandwidth throttling that will reduce or remove the impact on your network and try lower potential impact on other business activities.

Of course, security of your data is hugely important, especially in a business environment. This is why Redstor is compliant with ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications to help you towards standards such as FCA, DPA, ICO, PCI and SRA.

On top of all this, they offer round the clock support every day of the year. Support can be provided on-site anywhere in the UK or through phone and email around the world. They can also manage and monitor your backup services if you don’t have a team within the organisation that can handle it.
