Protecting Your Data, Systems & Operations — Whatever Happens

When downtime isn’t an option, your business needs a robust and tested Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy. Stokesley Computer Consultants provides end-to-end protection, from fully managed backup solutions to application-level recovery and complete continuity planning.

Our services are powered by industry-leading technologies such as Veeam, combined with hands-on consultancy to ensure your organisation stays operational — even during IT failures, cyber-attacks, or unexpected disruptions.

Why Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Matters

Every minute of downtime costs your business money. From data loss and operational disruption to reputational damage and compliance issues, the impact can be severe. A strong BCDR strategy ensures your business can withstand disruptions and recover quickly, with minimal impact on customers and staff.

With growing cyber threats, cloud reliance, and 24/7 operations, having a reliable continuity plan isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backups store copies of your data. Disaster recovery restores your systems and applications so you can continue operating after an incident. You need both for complete protection.

How often should we test our disaster recovery plan?

We recommend testing at least annually, though quarterly testing provides better assurance and is included in our Standard and Premium tiers.

Do I need Business Continuity if I already have backups?

Yes. Backups alone don’t tell staff how to communicate, who to contact, what steps to take, or how to keep operations running. A Business Continuity Plan covers the human and procedural side of recovery.

Can you integrate with our existing infrastructure?

Yes. We work with most virtualisation, cloud, and storage environments, and integrate seamlessly with Veeam-based systems.

Are your solutions suitable for small businesses?

Absolutely — our tiered structure allows even small organisations to adopt a professional-grade BCDR solution.
