Backup & Data Protection

A backup solution is only as useful as the last successful, tested recovery. We implement data protection strategies that are reliable, tested, and appropriate for your recovery requirements.

Solution Overview

What Kerox delivers for backup & data protection

Most organisations have backup software running. Very few have verified that it will actually recover their business in a crisis. Kerox implements backup solutions that are correctly configured, properly sized, offsite-replicated, and — critically — tested with a live recovery before we hand them over. We don't sign off on any backup project without running a recovery test.

VM & Server Backup

Backup of virtual machines and physical servers with image-based recovery, application-consistent snapshots, and granular file-level recovery — using Veeam, Veritas, or Windows Server Backup.

  • Platform selection and sizing
  • Job configuration and scheduling
  • Retention policy setup
  • Recovery testing before handover

Immutable Backup Storage

Backup repositories configured with immutability — preventing backup data from being deleted or modified for a defined retention period, providing ransomware-resilient recoverability.

  • Repository platform selection
  • Immutability policy configuration
  • Integration with backup software
  • Retention and lock testing

Offsite & Cloud Backup

Configuration of backup replication to a secondary location — a separate office, cloud object storage, or hosted repository — as part of a 3-2-1 data protection strategy.

  • Offsite strategy design
  • Cloud target setup (AWS S3/Azure Blob)
  • Replication schedule configuration
  • Bandwidth and retention planning

3-2-1 Backup Strategy

Implementation of the 3-2-1 standard — three copies of data, on two different media, with one copy offsite — tailored to your environment, workloads, and budget.

  • Data classification
  • Copy strategy design
  • On-site and offsite configuration
  • Policy documentation

Microsoft 365 Backup

Backup of Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive — protecting against accidental deletion, account compromise, and retention gaps that Microsoft's native tools don't cover.

  • Platform selection
  • M365 tenant connection
  • Mailbox and data selection
  • Recovery testing

Disaster Recovery Planning

DR runbook creation, recovery procedure documentation, and DR environment design where technically feasible — with realistic RTOs based on your actual environment and budget.

  • BIA and workload classification
  • RTO/RPO definition
  • DR runbook creation
  • Procedure documentation

Recovery Testing

Live recovery testing — restoring VMs, files, and databases from backup and verifying integrity — performed before project sign-off and designed to be repeatable periodically.

  • Test plan design
  • Live VM and file recovery
  • Integrity verification
  • Test report documentation

Backup Health Check

For organisations with existing backup infrastructure — a review of job configuration, retention policies, success rates, storage consumption, and recovery readiness, with improvement recommendations.

  • Existing backup audit
  • Job and policy review
  • Success rate analysis
  • Remediation recommendations

Microsoft 365 Backup for SMB

Cost-effective Microsoft 365 backup specifically sized and scoped for small and mid-size businesses — covering the essentials without over-engineering the solution.

  • Licence and platform selection
  • M365 connection
  • Key data protection
  • Admin training

How we deliver every backup & data protection project

Every Kerox engagement follows a structured delivery approach — from the first discovery call to final documentation handover. You know what's happening at every stage, and nothing is signed off until it has been validated.
