PCFOXServer & Backup

Backed up.
And restorable.

Network, storage and backup as one system. With NAS, Veeam and Microsoft 365 Backup – continuously monitored.

The 3-2-1 rule

A rule of thumb
that saves data.

  1. 3

    copies of your data

    The original and two backups.

  2. 2

    different storage media

    For example an on-site NAS and a cloud backup.

  3. 1

    Copy in another location

    If something happens at the office, one copy stays off site.

Infrastructure

The foundation
of your IT.

One system instead of separate parts. Planned, installed, documented and monitored.

  1. Internet and modem

    The connection to the outside world.

  2. Firewall and gateway

    Controls what may come in and go out.

  3. Switches and Wi-Fi

    Cabled, labelled, stable.

  4. Server and NAS

    Central storage with permissions and snapshots.

  5. Backup

    NAS backup, Veeam and Microsoft 365 Backup.

  6. Off-site copy

    The one copy in another location.

Network rack with switches, firewall, server and NAS

Backup

Three ways
to back up your data.

NAS storage systems in the equipment room

NAS backup.

Regularly to an on-site NAS – quickly restored if a file is missing.

Server in the rack with status lights

Veeam Backup.

Servers and workstations – restore individual files or entire systems.

Microsoft 365 Backup

A separate backup of e-mails, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams – independent of Microsoft.

Monitored and tested

Every backup is checked, and restores are tested regularly.

In an emergency

Gone is gone?
Not with a backup.

A backup is only as good as its restore. That's why we test it regularly.

  1. 01

    Report

    A file is missing, a mailbox is empty or a system won't start.

  2. 02

    Choose a restore point

    We choose the right backup: snapshot, Veeam or Microsoft 365 Backup.

  3. 03

    Restore

    A single file, an entire mailbox or a complete system.

  4. 04

    Check

    Together we check that everything is back.

How it works

Safely backed up
in four steps.

  1. Analysis

    What data is there, where is it, and how long may an outage last?

  2. Concept

    We plan storage, backup paths and retention.

  3. Implementation

    NAS, Veeam and Microsoft 365 Backup are set up.

  4. Monitoring and testing

    Ongoing checks and regular restore tests.

Frequently asked questions

Good
to know.

Doesn't Microsoft already back up my Microsoft 365 data?

Microsoft runs the services with high availability. A separate backup still makes sense against accidentally deleted data, expired retention periods or malware.

Is an external hard drive enough?

Usually not as the only solution: it is easily forgotten, often sits in the same place as the data and is at risk in a malware attack. Under the 3-2-1 rule it is at most one building block.

How quickly can we get our data back in an emergency?

That depends on what was lost and how it is backed up. That is exactly what we define together in the concept.

Which NAS do you use?

That depends on your needs for storage, performance and resilience. We advise you on the choice.

How often is data backed up?

We define that in the concept – depending on how much data loss is acceptable in an emergency.

Next step

When did you last
test your backup?

We check your backup and show you whether it will hold up in an emergency.
