Getting Back to Work, Not Just Getting Your Data Back

Backups, disaster recovery, and continuity planning built around how quickly your business needs to be running again, not just how quickly data can be restored.

The Challenges You Face

Where Backup and Recovery Plans Usually Fall Down

Most businesses have backups in place. Far fewer know for certain they’d work or what happens to the business while recovery’s underway.

Backups That Have Never Been Fully Restored

Backup jobs complete successfully every night, but nobody's tested whether a full system, not just a single file, can genuinely be recovered from them.

No Plan for What Happens After Data Comes Back

Even once data's recovered, there's often no plan for which systems come back first, who tells staff what to do, or how the business keeps operating in the meantime.

Ransomware That Targets Backups Deliberately

Modern ransomware specifically looks for backup files to encrypt or delete first, so a backup that isn't properly isolated can be lost in the same attack as the data itself.

Recovery Times That Outlast the Business

A system might be recoverable within a week, but if the business can only survive a day without it, that gap usually only gets discovered during a real incident.

Why Outbound

Why Businesses Trust Outbound With Getting Back Up and Running

Recovery only counts for something if it’s been proven to work before you need it, not after. Here’s what changes once we’re managing yours.

Backups Tested Through Full Restores

We test full system restores on a regular schedule so you know recovery works in practice, not just that last night’s backup job reported success.

Full Continuity Planning

Plans cover who does what, which systems come back first, and how staff keep working in the meantime, not just where the data’s stored.

Vendor-Agnostic Backup and DR Design

We’re not tied to a single backup platform, so what’s recommended fits how your systems and budget work, not what a single vendor happens to sell.

Immutable, Isolated Backup Storage

Backup copies are stored in a way that can’t be altered or deleted by ransomware already inside your network, so an attack on your systems doesn’t also take out your recovery option.

Recovery Times Matched to Your Business

We agree on how quickly each system genuinely needs to be back before anything’s designed, so critical systems get priority rather than everything being treated the same.

Transparent Pricing on Backup and Recovery

No hidden markup on backup storage, DR infrastructure, or testing. What’s quoted is what’s billed, regardless of how much data you’re protecting.

“We’ve had an excellent experience working with Outbound.

Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy to deal with. They’ve helped us stay secure and stable day-to-day, while also making practical recommendations that have improved performance and reduced disruptions.

Highly recommended for any business looking for a reliable IT partner.”

Our Offering

What Sits Behind Getting Back Up and Running

Backup is one part of this. Here’s everything else that has to be in place for recovery to actually work when it’s needed.

Backup Design and Scheduling

Backup jobs designed around what each system needs, covering frequency, retention, and storage location rather than a single default setting applied everywhere.

Immutable and Offsite Storage

Backup copies held in storage that can’t be altered once written, kept separate from your main network so an attack or failure there doesn’t reach your recovery data too.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Clear recovery steps and priority order agreed on in advance for every critical system, so a major failure has a defined path back rather than being worked out during the incident itself.

Business Continuity Planning

Plans covering communication, alternative working arrangements, and staff responsibilities during an outage, so the business can keep functioning while systems are being restored.

Regular Restore Testing

Full system restores are tested on a scheduled basis, with results reported back, so recovery is a known, proven process rather than an assumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What businesses usually ask before handing over their day-to-day security.

How is this different from just having backups switched on with our current provider?

Having backups running is only part of it. This adds tested restores, immutable storage that ransomware can’t reach, and a continuity plan for keeping the business running while recovery happens, not just a job that completes overnight.

How quickly could we get back up and running after a major incident?

That depends on the system and what we agree on in advance. Recovery time objectives are set per system based on what your business can genuinely afford to lose and tested in advance so the answer isn’t a guess.

Can ransomware affect our backups too?

It can, if backups sit on the same network without proper isolation. That’s exactly what immutable, isolated storage is designed to prevent, so an attack on your live systems doesn’t also take out your way back.

Do we need a separate business continuity plan, or does this cover it?

This covers it. Business continuity planning is built in alongside the technical recovery, covering how the business keeps operating, not just how the data comes back.
