Security and Data Location

Your data is your business. That’s why we prioritise it, with highly-resilient off-site back-up and data recovery systems which can be tailored to your business needs. With multiple internet connections to ensure continuity of service, should any equipment or link fail, you can rest assured that your service will continue. We’re so confident in the resilience of our systems we offer a 24/7 financially-backed 99.9% availability guarantee. In line with Blue Sky Systems principles and ethos, the Veeam Cloud Backup service is hosted in UK data centres, and as a UK-based company, we are governed by UK and EU privacy laws.

We also encourage all customers to encrypt their Veeam backups at source using the functionality built into Veeam Backup and Replication Version 8 and above.


Disaster recovery

Ok, the unthinkable has happened, and everything is gone now what? We can offer three options with the service with our Veeam Cloud Connect offering:

  1. Spin up the servers on our cloud platform
  2. Export the backups to an external hard drive/NAS if your internet connection isn't fast enough#
  3. Install a local copy of Veeam again and restore all your VM's from the internet

  • Encryption At Rest
  • WAN Acceleration

  • Enterprise-grade SAN systems with SSD tier for high-speed merge

How does it work?

Your VM's backup through Veeam as usual. A copy job is created to send the data to a service provider. The copy job reads the backup files before sending them through to the service provider, protecting against Ransome attacks. To transfer the data, the link uses an SSL connection to fully encrypt data as it is sent to our Data Centre. Within Veeam, you also have the option to encrypt at rest as well.

What Our Customers Say

We had been considering copying our Veeam backups offsite for a while and received quotes from several companies.  We were impressed with the total cloud disaster recovery solution offered by Blue Sky Systems and decided to select them to provide our offsite backup using Veeam Cloud Connect.  The setup was expertly handled and we were up and running in a very short timescale.  Support has been excellent and we would gladly recommend Blue Sky Systems for this service.

We sought several quotes for our Veeam Cloud backup repository and mistakenly went  with the cheapest.  After several months of the slows speeds and failed backups we moved to Blue Sky Systems.  Pricing was good but most of all the performance and support from day one has been fantastic.
