Backup and recovery in Milton Keynes —
immutable, regulator-grade, restore-tested.
Servnet designs and runs backup and recovery for MK businesses where data loss is not a recoverable event — John Lewis Partnership under PCI DSS + GDPR, Network Rail under NIS Regulations, VW FS UK + Mercedes-Benz UK under FCA, NHS BLMK under DSP Toolkit. Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik or Veritas — restore-tested quarterly.
Why MK backup needs to clear a higher bar
MK corporate HQs hold massive customer + operational + regulated datasets. Backup design starts from "assume the production estate is compromised".
PCI DSS + GDPR for John Lewis Partnership
For John Lewis Partnership, backup architecture supports PCI DSS payment data retention + GDPR customer data.
NIS Regulations for Network Rail
For Network Rail as OES, backup must support NIS-Regulations incident reporting + recovery time objectives.
FCA Operational Resilience for VW FS / Mercedes-Benz UK
For VW FS UK + Mercedes-Benz UK Financial Services, backup is a control under Important Business Service resilience.
NHS DSP Toolkit assertion 9.4
For NHS BLMK ICB-affiliated organisations, DSP Toolkit assertion 9.4 requires demonstrable backup and recovery.

MK backup + recovery — common questions
What does "immutable" mean for our MK 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 MK DC?
Yes — primary in one DC (ARK Cody) and air-gapped vault in a second (Pulsant MKE or Equinix LD4).
Do you do quarterly restore testing for NHS BLMK?
Yes — for NHS BLMK ICB-affiliated organisations we schedule quarterly tested restores aligned to DSP Toolkit 9.4.
How quickly can you recover a ransomware-encrypted MK 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 MK firm?
Three components — software licence, backup target hardware (£25–55k), implementation services (£15–30k).
