Business Continuity Management Plan: Backups and Disaster Recovery
Imagine a Thursday afternoon abuzz with final touches on a group presentation. It took weeks to put everything together and is due when the doors open on Friday. Suddenly, it’s all systems down, and you can hear the precious data flushing away because there are no backups.
This is just one of many examples. Whether caused by system failures, human error, or cyber threats, data is the lifeblood of industrial and commercial setups.
The British Chambers of Commerce found that 93% of businesses that suffered data losses for more than 10 days close their doors within a year after the incident. Your business resilience and continuity depend on comprehensive backups and immediate data recovery.
At Clipeum, we manage backups and disaster recovery as a day-to-day priority, not an ad-hoc, now-and-then exercise.

Why Backups and Disaster Recovery Matter
In a digital age where information is everything, backups, coupled with a sound strategy to retrieve them, form the foundation of your continued business success. Independent statistics indicate that:
- •
Roughly 800,000 UK companies suffered data losses between 2019 and 2024, which led to financial losses of approximately £1bn per year.
- •
Manufacturing enterprises lose as much as £736m per week in the wake of downtimes.
- •
Organisational data breaches and fraud cost businesses as much as £755m per year.
Simply owning backup software is not a strategy; it is a manual chore susceptible to failure. Managed backup and disaster recovery (BDR) shifts the focus from managing technology to guaranteeing outcomes.
Find out how Clipeum not only sets up your backups but also actively monitors and manages hardware, troubleshoots errors, and, most critically, continuously verifies that the data is recoverable. This 24/7/365 vigilance means our experts will be overseeing all maintenance, freeing your internal team from the burden of nightly checks and complex recovery simulations
Testing and Validation
A backup is worthless if it cannot be recovered to keep the gears of your industry turning. Reports reflect that a significant percentage of manual recovery attempts fail due to untested plans or corrupt data
At Clipeum, our Managed IT services include automated, continuous testing. We periodically verify data integrity and perform automated virtual test restores. After, we capture the results in comprehensive reports confirming that, when needed, your entire environment, servers, applications, and data can be brought online successfully, eliminating all guesswork.
Cloud Disaster Recovery
Rapid data recovery is key to business resilience and continuity. A cloud disaster recovery (DR) strategy utilises remote digital storage to back up data, IT infrastructure, and critical applications. This means data is ready to be retrieved in an instant, and operations can continue without any hiccups.
Clipeum deploys a hybrid backup strategy that merges the benefits of on-site and remote backups and recovery. On-premises, we deliver near-instant local recovery (the fastest option for minor data loss or server failure). We also encrypt copies of your data and securely store it in a cloud vault, which means it's ready to be retrieved or uploaded whenever needed.
