What Is BaaS and Why Does Your Business Need It?

Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a solution for businesses looking to back up and protect their data for restoration at the file or system level. As managed service providers, our team at BlackBox Hosting offers reliable and secure backup services so that you don’t have to worry about managing backups internally.

This strategy goes beyond conventional data backup methods that are usually on-premises. With Backup as a Service, your data is securely backed up and managed in the cloud for easy and secure access and restoration in case of an outage or failure. Like DRaaS, this backup strategy is also critical to your business continuity planning.

At BlackBox Hosting, we back up, protect, and ensure your data complies with regulations. As a Veeam Cloud Connect provider, we keep multiple copies of your data backups, run various testing procedures, and generate reports for you to access and restore data when needed.

Disasters Come In All Shapes and Sizes

It can be a full-site failure, a ransomware attack, or even a well-intentioned employee who hit the wrong button. However, public clouds lay the burden on you to secure and protect your data. This isn’t just expensive and resource-draining, but can lead to significant delays in getting your systems back online.

Instead, access powerful BaaS solutions for cloud, virtual, and physical backup, which take the headache away. We prioritise making your business more resilient to disasters, with minimal data loss and Veeam-powered backups for restoring data securely.

Veeam Cloud Connect

Veeam, a trusted name for data recovery and resilience, is integral to our backup service. With our managed Veeam cloud backup, you receive strong data protection and backups of your workloads across VMs, cloud, and physical systems.

Just select BlackBox Hosting within the Veeam Cloud Connect console and manage the backup or replica jobs in just a few clicks. Operating within the same console, all data types are fully encrypted at every step.

Flexible backup of endpoints, no matter where they reside, means all types of data are completely protected and easy to recover from the cloud. Your data will be as safe as it would be in a dedicated off-site repository.

With centralised remote monitoring and management capabilities and clear-cut visibility and reporting, you can also be confident knowing you’ll meet all legal and compliance requirements.

The Key Characteristics of BaaS

Centralised Data Backup

Centralising data backup with Veeam makes it easier to manage backups of virtual machines, databases, applications, operating systems, and file systems in a more streamlined manner. You can retain data for longer periods, especially for organisations in finance and healthcare, which need longer data retention for regulatory needs.

Exceptional Security and Encryption

Data backup providers ensure your data is protected in transit as well as at rest with high security and access controls. Security measures include firewalls and intrusion protection systems, while access control measures limit who is authorised to access the data. With a robust BaaS solution, you can reduce your organisation’s risk of data breaches while complying with customisable data protection regulations and enjoy complete peace of mind around your data security.

Easy to Scale

As your business grows, so do your needs, and our managed BaaS solutions can scale alongside you. Your backups are housed within a third-party data centre, so you can increase or decrease system capacity without making changes to the existing infrastructure. Compared to on-premises backups, cloud-based backup resources can be scaled up or down quickly.

Cost-Effective BaaS

Backup as a Service providers are a cost-effective solution, allowing you to reduce many of the upfront costs associated with setting up and managing your own backup system. This minimises the need for your business to invest in hardware, software, or any kind of infrastructure, as well as outsourcing the worry about costs associated with managing a data centre, network, and staff.

BlackBox Hosting’s BaaS is powered by Veeam for secure data backup and restoration, which ensures your data is safe, secure, and can be easily restored. Our backups follow the 3-2-1 rule:

  • Keep 3 separate backup copies of your data.
  • Store copies in 2 different forms of media.
  • Keep 1 of these copies stored offsite (in the cloud).

Our automatic recovery verification allows for “0 errors”, meaning should the worst happen, your data is secure.

Let us deliver your ideal solution, on time and within budget.

Managed BaaS by BlackBox Hosting

An outage, failure, cybersecurity threat, or even a faulty software update can disrupt critical systems and services across your organisation. Apart from your customers losing access to vital data, in such times, your incident response systems are also affected. Without a reliable backup system, recovering from this disruption could take hours, even days.

With managed Veeam cloud backups of your business data, you can rely on quick recovery and restoration of your systems, with minimal downtime. As a managed business data backup service, BlackBox Hosting takes full responsibility for the backup and recovery process, including:

  • Selecting and managing backup hardware and software.
  • Complete data protection.
  • Disaster recovery.

Our BaaS solutions are particularly useful for businesses without adequate internal IT resources or the expertise to manage a complex backup system.

Take control of your data with powerful, automated backups from BlackBox Hosting.

Why Your Business Needs a BaaS Solution

Growing Data Volumes

Over time, businesses have seen an exponential growth in data volume. If you’re a growing organisation, you need scalable solutions like managed data backups to ensure comprehensive data protection.

Support Business Continuity

If you’re a small or medium-sized business, you may not have the IT resources to set up and maintain your own data centre. But with Backup as a Service, you can afford to keep your business working without significant upfront capital.

Cybersecurity Threats

The rise in DDoS, ransomware, and other cybersecurity incidents has made off-site backups indispensable. Safeguard your data against these cybersecurity risks with our BaaS solutions.

Support Remote Work

With the growth of remote working practices, you can ensure your data is protected at all times, regardless of where your employees are located, allowing you peace of mind, even with a distributed workforce.

How Does BaaS Work?

Data Selection

You share the data that needs to be backed up, whether it’s simple files and folders, or complex databases, virtual machines, and applications.

Data Transfer and Storage

The selected data is securely transferred into our cloud and stored in a secure, redundant environment to protect from data loss and enable easy access and retrieval.

Backup Schedule

We help you create a customised data backup schedule according to your specific recovery point objectives (RPOs). Alternatively, we can manage the scheduling process for you to ensure it aligns with your business’s needs.

Data Recovery

In the unfortunate event of data disruption, your business can initiate a recovery process through our console and restore your data to its original location or a new location. Alternatively, we can recover the data for you.

Your Questions Answered

Is Backup as a Service necessary?

Whilst not necessary, BaaS is a good idea if you want to keep your data backed up at all times, without the upfront cost of setting up IT infrastructure and support.

Backup as a Service works by securely transferring your data to the cloud, where it is stored in a redundant environment. You can restore data quickly in case of an outage or failure.

A backup server is a dedicated server used to store and manage backup data, ensuring it is secure and easily accessible for restoration.

Off-site backup involves storing backup data in a remote location, typically in the cloud, to protect against localised disasters or data loss.

On-site backup involves storing backup data locally, within your own infrastructure, for quick access and restoration.

Managed backup is a service where a provider, like BlackBox Hosting, manages the entire backup process for you, including data selection, storage, scheduling, and recovery.

BaaS pricing is influenced by factors such as data volume, retention periods, storage requirements, and the level of management and support needed.

Choosing a BaaS provider ensures reliable, secure, and scalable backup solutions, reducing the burden on your IT team and minimising downtime in case of data loss.
