Backup and recovery in Glasgow —
immutable, regulator-grade, restore-tested.
Servnet designs and runs backup and recovery for Glasgow businesses where data loss is not a recoverable event — NHS GGC under NHS Scotland IG (UK's largest health board), IFSD finance under FCA, BBC Scotland under broadcast IP-protection, Scottish Gov regional under statutory record retention. Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik or Veritas — restore-tested quarterly.
Why Glasgow backup needs to clear a higher bar
Glasgow concentrates NHS GGC (huge scale) + IFSD finance + broadcast IP + Scottish Gov data. Backup design starts from "assume the production estate is compromised".
NHS Scotland IG for NHS GGC
For NHS GGC (UK's largest health board), backup feeds into NHS Scotland IG Framework and Caldicott Principles for clinical data retention.
FCA Operational Resilience for IFSD finance
For Tesco Bank, Morgan Stanley Glasgow, JPMorgan IFSD operations, backup is a control under Important Business Service resilience.
Broadcast IP protection for BBC Scotland
For BBC Scotland Pacific Quay, backup includes broadcast IP-classified data with appropriate retention and access controls.
Scottish Gov statutory record retention
For Scottish Gov regional + GCC + 7 authorities, backup retention aligns to Scottish statutory record-keeping requirements (Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011).

Glasgow backup + recovery — common questions
What does "immutable" mean for our Glasgow backup data?
Data even an admin with full credentials cannot delete or modify before retention expires.
How do you protect a Microsoft 365 tenant?
Microsoft retains, doesn't back up. We deploy third-party M365 backup tools.
Can you build us an air-gapped vault in a second Glasgow DC?
Yes — primary in one DC (iomart Glasgow) and air-gapped vault in a second (Brightsolid or Pulsant GLA).
Do you do quarterly restore testing for NHS GGC?
Yes — for NHS GGC and broader NHS Scotland boards we schedule quarterly tested restores aligned to NHS Scotland IG.
How quickly can you recover a ransomware-encrypted Glasgow estate?
For 200-VM estate with immutable repositories: critical-service restore within 4–8 hours, full estate 24–72 hours.
How do you price backup for a 100-VM Glasgow firm?
Three components — software licence, backup target hardware (£25–55k), implementation services (£15–30k).
