ICT Backups for Specialists
Your data is stored on Microsoft's UK cloud
Microsoft’s Azure is the world’s most secure cloud used by all UK organisations including the Government, NHS. and the MOD.
Your data cannot be safer anywhere else.
Our service will store your data on a minimum of 3 storage units within the UK region of Azure.
Azure is the same platform already used by schools for their Office O365, OneDrive and SharePoint data.
You don’t have to be tied to Azure in the UK though. Our software is preconfigured with connectors to any of the other Azure regions worldwide as well as any of more than 1,000 third party clouds.
Protect your Schools from ransomware
Ransomware and cybercrime attacks are growing in frequency every day and will never stop. Schools are unfortunately at the top of the criminal’s list of targets.
We can’t prevent a ransomware attack, but we can help you recover from it.
Ransomware prevention is essential to prevent your school becoming their next victim.
How we protect your data
Don’t become a cybercriminal’s target
With BOBcloud, your data is always encrypted and cannot be compromised. Should your servers become a victim of a cyber-attack, you can rest assured you can restore your data from the cloud.
Keeping your personal data safe
Since May 2019 when GDPR went live, the legislation has not deterred a lot of spammers who gather information illegally and work with impunity.
We have always put the GDPR and the previous DPA legislation forefront in our business.
We NEVER routinely gather any personal information through any of our services and only contact people who have explicitly requested to receive marketing information. We never presume you have opted-in.
Because we also use Microsoft’s cloud to store all your data, you can also rely on their guarantees.
ICT, School, College and University data has never been safer.
Let us help you win new ICT Business
You know that when you start selling to a school, you can upsell to a customer who will always pay their invoices.
Our New Business Team will assist you with your sales pipeline so that your proposal is technically superior and better priced than your competitors’.
Our job is never complete, and we are always on-hand to help you deliver the solution which will close the door on your competitors.
Advanced Data Security and Guarding
Your data is encrypted on your servers and desktops using AES 256 bit encryption before it leaves site and is then transferred using 256-bit SSL communication (TLS v1.2)
Your data remains encrypted whilst backing up, at rest, and during restore. You set the encryption and it can never be captured in transit.
You are in charge of your retention periods which can be set from 1 day to infinity.

Multiple backup destinations working concurrently
Why backup to just one storage destination?
Backup your devices to more than 1,000 cloud storage destinations around the world by using the predefined destinations in our software. Easily backup to local storage (USB disk, NAS or SAN), or any combination of cloud and local.
You can easily configure any backup set to concurrently transfer data to multiple cloud and local destinations. Full stats and results will be shown in your reseller portal.
Popular destinations are Azure blobs, AWS S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, Dropbox and S3 compatible services.
No charge for multiple destinations
Some cloud backup service providers charge extra for their licenses when you backup more amounts of data, and that is on top of the storage charges.
We permit all backup sets to use as much storage as they need.
We only charge you for the storage you use on our platform. If you are using your own storage, then all backup storage is free and unlimited.
You probably already have free storage!!
In our experience, a lot of schools using Google and OneDrive already have unlimited FREE storage from these and other providers.
Both these destinations are already plugged into our software and just require your login details.
Support 7 days a week and fully functional 30 day trials
We are dedicated to supporting you 7 days a week in your time zone.
If we can’t fix your problem in one or two emails, we will ask to connect remotely to your system using TeamViewer or RDP.
We also have tech docs and walkthroughs to help you install, configure and fault find issues on our service.
Simple-to-use software
We provide a single-pane-of-glass for all your backup sets so you can see everything in one place without the need to trawl through emails every morning.
All our backup software and modules are designed to be installed in a few simple clicks and connect your device directly to storage in the cloud.
£250 when you move from another supplier
If you are paying more than £0.01 per GB, you are overpaying for your storage.
