Backup & recovery · Pretoria & Gauteng
Backups you'veactually restored.
A backup is only worth something if your information can be restored in the time your business can afford to be down. We back up what matters off-site, check every job and test restores, so recovery is a plan and not a hope.
What's included
Backup and disaster recovery
Delivered under a 24/7 retainer, operated together with the rest of your IT and reported in one place.
Off-site resilience
Cloud-based backups reduce exposure to ransomware and site disasters.
Defined recovery
Recovery plans set around what your business needs back first.
Continuous assurance
Backup status, failures and recovery health monitored, with restores tested regularly.
Business outcome
Business continuity and recoverability
Delivered through Cove Data Protection, cloud storage, scheduled restore tests and service reporting.
Where AI fits
The groundAI stands on.
Every automation we build inherits this foundation. Because one team runs both, your IT and your automations are monitored, secured and supported together, so there's no finger-pointing between suppliers when something changes.

Goodquestions.
Doesn't Microsoft back up our 365 data?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but recovering deleted or encrypted mail and files beyond short retention windows is your responsibility. We back it up separately.
How often are backups tested?
Jobs are checked daily and restores are tested on a schedule. You get reporting, so you can see it for yourself.
How quickly can we recover?
That depends on what's affected. We agree recovery priorities with you upfront, so the systems you need first come back first.
