Frequently asked questions
All data is encrypted ‘in flight’, using customer-managed security credentials. In addition, data can be encrypted ‘at rest’ where required.
Bandwidth requirements vary hugely depending on the rate-of-change of your servers. However, as a rule of thumb, we recommend approximately 1Mbit of network bandwidth per 250GB of protected data.
The presentation of recovered servers depends on a few things, such as the level of service and your specific requirements. Daisy can present back a single server, a group of servers or an entire site. The routing and links required to do this need to be in place and this is managed as part of the deployment process.
For eBackup Enterprise, Daisy recovery staff are on hand. They are fully-trained in helping you recover your systems and data during a disaster and will provide full technical support and assistance. For Enterprise Plus, Daisy will manage the entire recovery end to end.
Daisy manages the infrastructure that supports your data protection in our data centres as standard. If you need help, we have a business hours support desk. We also provide a fully-managed service under our Enterprise Plus tier, which means that we will look after everything from scheduling backups to providing recovery when you need it.
Typically, recovery time depends on your level of service. Enterprise and Enterprise Plus service levels cater for immediate recovery, through to more traditional backup and restore for less time-sensitive recovery requirements. Backup and restore take longer than instant recovery and this time depends on the amount of data that you have to restore. Daisy provides instant recovery services that can have your servers back up and running in as little as 15 minutes, with almost zero data loss.
The status of data replication jobs is monitored by you and Daisy. Alerts are configurable, and an email is sent out whenever an alert is triggered.
For Enterprise Plus services, backup jobs will be monitored by the Daisy support team, and issues will be resolved automatically. You will be notified by a member of the Daisy support team if there is a backup error that requires any changes to be made to your infrastructure.
The service is typically charged annually in advance, with flexible over-usage billed monthly in arrears, which can be opted out of to avoid any additional costs.
Daisy will typically build some growth into your allocated quota. However, should you use more than your quota, we provide flexible, overusage billed monthly in arrears. Reports predicting future usage trends can also be generated.
Absolutely. Most people are backing up non-important file data in the same way and at the same cost as their business-critical data. We can deliver a consultancy assessment that analyses your data so that you can identify what to protect, and at what level of service.
Our eBackup solution is underpinned by best-of-breed technology which will vary depending on each customer’s requirements. The level of reporting and analytics you will receive depends on the underlying technology that we use to deliver your service.
With no hidden or unexpected costs, eBackup offers a clear, transparent upfront price to help you plan your data protection budget. Typically, eBackup will also save you time by giving you one solution for all your data protection and recovery needs in one place, from one provider. eBackup will help you save on space by providing tiered storage, allowing you to reap cost savings by keeping critical data available and archiving less important data, to cheaper storage.
eBackup can protect your data wherever it resides. If you decide to migrate to a public cloud or a hybrid environment, we can help. Our CloudBridge service is designed specifically to help you build the most appropriate cloud environment for your business objectives. It enables you to move workloads between public, private and on-premise platforms, as your business flexes, helping you to control costs and maintain productivity.
The recovery time objective (RTO) is set by you to meet the demands of your business in terms of the length of time your business can withstand an incident. Daisy’s eBackup solution provides multiple options in terms of RTO and recovery point objectives (RPO) so that you can select the right level of service for your data, as appropriate.
To provide you with a flexible, scalable solution, Daisy’s eBackup runs on a shared platform. Each customer is designated their own, logical, securely separated area for their data to reside. It is not possible for customers to have access to each other’s data.
Daisy has the following ISO certifications:
Information Security Management: ISO27001, Quality Management: ISO9001, Business Continuity Management Systems: ISO22301 and Environmental Management System: ISO14001
Information Security Management: ISO27001, Quality Management: ISO9001, Business Continuity Management Systems: ISO22301 and Environmental Management System: ISO14001
Yes, of course. In addition, working with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and CREST, we undertake IT health check services (CHECK) certified penetration testing at all Daisy data and business continuity centres.
We have hundreds of eBackup customers across both public and private sector organisations in all industries. Many customers have invoked with us, and many more have successfully recovered locally (with no help from us required). We will be happy to give you reference details upon application.
Implementation is carried out by trained eBackup technicians who will be on hand to ensure the service is implemented fully.
A welcome pack is provided, along with specific documentation relevant to the level of service you have taken.
Yes the RACI matrix is provided within the proposal and details the responsibilities of both you and Daisy.
Archiving is available as a standalone service or as part of an Enterprise solution for more intelligent storage tiering.
The length of time it would take you to recover all of your data would vary, depending on how much data you have protected with Daisy eBackup, as well as how you have protected it (backup, replication or archive), so it is impossible to provide a generic answer.
We are unable to answer that without an understanding of your current strategy. We do have an excellent assessment tool which takes just 15 minutes to complete, provides an evaluation of your current strategy, and gives you an indicative cost based on the brief information you provide which makes it easy for you to compare costs with your incumbent provider.
During your transition to deploying and using Daisy services, you will have an assigned team to call along every step of the way. This team will fit into your transition process providing documentation, deployment or deployment help (depending on the services taken), product training and handover.
