Educational and School Data Backup
School data stored on Microsoft's UK cloud
Microsoft’s Azure is the world’s most secure cloud used by UK organisations including the UK Government, NHS, and the MOD.
Your data cannot be safer!
Our service stores your school 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 email, OneDrive and SharePoint data. These systems don’t have built-in backup, and it is essential you have your own.
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 school data 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 recovery is essential to prevent your school becoming their next victim.
How we protect your data
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 many spammers from gathering information illegally and acting 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 use Microsoft’s cloud to store all your data, you can rely on their guarantees.
ICT, School, College and University data has never been safer.
Advanced Security and Data Guarding
Your school data is encrypted on your servers and desktops using AES 256 bit encryption before it leaves your site and is then transferred using 256-bit SSL secure communication (TLS v1.2).
Your data remains encrypted whilst backing up, at rest, and during restore. Because it is encrypted at all times, it cannot be compromised even if it is captured during transit. It doesn’t matter where your devices are located or which internet connections they use because our software creates the secure end-to-end encrypted tunnel.
Even if you have mobile devices using public WIFI networks, there is never any risk to your data.
You can stipulate which IP addresses can be used to restore from. This prevents ex-employees who have previously had access to your account from restoring data unless they are doing so from an authorised location.
Unlimited backup retention and history
We know in the educational sector you have no option but to store your data indefinitely and can’t have it auto-cleansed by the backup provider.
Our service allows you to specify in daily increments how long you want to retain your data history for. Set history from 1 day to infinity to match your backup strategy and policies.
Our portal will clearly show you which is live data and which is retained data you have deleted from the source locations on your servers and desktops.
Multiple backup destinations working concurrently
Why backup your school data to just one storage destination?
Backup your school data on your computers and servers 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 Microsoft 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 or cloud 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.
Ransomware protection
All our educational backup services will protect you from ransomware and allow you to restore to a point-in-time. This approach means you won’t be playing catch-up to the cybercriminals and suffer downtime in the interim.
If you only need to backup file systems, you can make use of our private cloud service [FileSync]. Not only do you get a private cloud to use in your school, but the system also allows you to recover your entire cloud from a ransomware attack in a few minutes. The process is simple and replays your last snapshot on your data set.
