Are you Backup Ready?

Today is World Backup Day—a reminder that your data is only as safe as your backup strategy.

From accidental deletions to cyberattacks, data loss isn’t a matter of if, it’s when. That’s why this year, we’re doing more than just raising awareness. We’re putting your backup readiness to the test!

Take the Backup Challenge

We’ve created a quick, interactive challenge designed to help you assess how prepared your organisation really is.

👉 Try it now: VeryPC Backup Challenge

The challenge walks you through real-world scenarios, highlighting potential gaps in your current setup and offering insight into how resilient your systems are against data loss.

Whether you’re confident in your backups or just getting started, it’s a simple way to sense-check your approach.

Why Backup Readiness Matters More Than Ever

The rise in ransomware and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats means that having backups is no longer enough—they need to be:

  • Secure from attack
  • Regularly tested
  • Easily recoverable
  • Compliant with your organisation’s requirements

Without these elements in place, backups can fail when you need them most.

Introducing Backup Solutions for Education

We’re also excited to announce that we can now provide backup solutions tailored specifically for the education sector through CyberSentriq.

Designed with schools, colleges, and universities in mind, CyberSentriq (powered by Redstor) offers:

  • Simple, fixed pricing with unlimited backup for Servers, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365

  • Fully managed, cloud-first backup

  • Ransomware protection

  • Fast, simple recovery

  • Aligned with DfE, RPA, and NCSC cybersecurity guidelines

With increasing pressure on IT teams in education, having a reliable, easy-to-manage backup solution is essential.
