🛡️ Stay Protected

Backups that are
proven to work.
Every month.

We offer two backup models - fully managed backup and DR for your cloud workloads, and sovereign offsite Veeam Cloud Repository storage for businesses running their own infrastructure. Clearly defined scope. Contractual RTO/RPO. Written evidence monthly.

Two Backup Models

Choose the model that fits
your infrastructure.

Whether your workloads run in our cloud or on your own infrastructure, we have a backup model built for your situation. Many clients use both.

Model 1 — Managed Backup & DR

For workloads hosted
in QSupport Cloud

If your servers and applications run in our managed private cloud, we handle backup end-to-end. We configure, monitor, test and report — you receive monthly written evidence that your data is protected and recoverable.

  • Veeam-powered backup of your cloud workloads
  • Immutable backup copies - ransomware cannot touch them
  • Monthly recovery testing in an isolated environment
  • Monthly written report: restore results & exceptions
  • Contractual RTO & RPO written into your MSA
  • 24/7 backup job monitoring & alerting
  • All data in South African jurisdiction

Best for: Businesses hosted in our managed private cloud who want a single accountable provider for infrastructure and data protection.
Model 2 — Veeam Cloud Repository

Offsite backup storage
for your own Veeam

Already running Veeam on your own infrastructure? As a certified Veeam Silver VCSP, we provide a secure South African offsite repository. Your Veeam installation pushes encrypted backups to us — stored safely, sovereignly, and separately from your primary site.

  • Certified Veeam Cloud Repository (VCSP Silver)
  • Encrypted backups received from your Veeam instance
  • South African data residency - not a foreign hyperscaler
  • Geographically separate from your primary site
  • Scalable storage - pay for what you use
  • Repository availability & capacity monitoring
  • POPIA-aligned storage and data handling

How it works: Backups are encrypted by your Veeam installation before leaving your environment. We store the encrypted data — we do not hold your encryption keys and cannot access your data. Restoration is performed by you using your own Veeam console and credentials.
Service Definition — Model 1 (Managed Backup & DR)

Clearly defined scope.
No ambiguity at incident time.

For managed cloud backup clients, the service boundary is defined before engagement — so everyone knows exactly what we own and what stays with you.

What This Service Includes
  • Veeam backup configuration and management
  • Backup job scheduling, monitoring and alerting
  • Immutable backup copy management
  • Monthly recovery testing in an isolated environment
  • Monthly written report: results, exceptions, coverage
  • Platform-level incident response for backup failures
  • Retention policy management and compliance
What This Service Does Not Include
  • Application-consistent backup configuration (requires application owner input)
  • Data validation at application level post-restore
  • Recovery of individual application objects (e.g. SQL rows, mailbox items) unless agreed
  • Business continuity planning and documentation
  • DR orchestration beyond defined RTO/RPO scope
Client Responsibilities
  • Confirming which workloads are in scope for backup
  • Defining recovery priority and acceptable RTO/RPO per workload
  • Application-level validation after a restore
  • Maintaining a tested business continuity plan
  • Notifying QSupport Cloud of new workloads to add to scope
How Managed Backup Is Structured

Three layers of protection.
All managed. All evidenced.

Each layer is designed so you have written proof of protection — not just a green light on a dashboard.

Layer 1

Data Protection

Foundation
  • Veeam-powered backup of all in-scope workloads
  • Immutable backup copies (ransomware-proof)
  • Offsite copy — geographically separate from primary
  • 3-2-1 backup rule enforced as minimum standard
Layer 2

Continuous Monitoring

Control
  • 24/7 backup job monitoring and alerting
  • Failed job detection and remediation
  • Retention compliance monitoring
  • Capacity forecasting and storage management
Layer 3

Evidenced Recovery

Proof
  • Monthly restore testing in isolated environment
  • Written results delivered each month
  • Exception reporting and coverage gap alerts
  • Contractual RTO & RPO — tested, not assumed
Commercial Model

Predictable monthly pricing.
Scaled to what you protect.

Managed Backup & DR is priced as a monthly service based on the volume of data under protection and the agreed RTO/RPO tier for each workload.

Veeam Cloud Repository storage is priced on consumed capacity — you pay for what you use, billed monthly. No long-term commitments required to get started.

How It Works

Assessment to protected
in four steps.

01

Backup Environment Assessment

We audit your current backup configuration — coverage gaps, untested restores, single points of failure and ransomware exposure. We identify which model fits your situation and what's needed to close your gaps.

02

Protection Architecture & Scope Agreement

We define the backup strategy, workload priority, RTO/RPO targets and retention periods. Scope is documented and agreed before any work begins — no surprises later.

03

Deployment & Initial Backup

Agents deployed, policies configured, initial backup seeds completed. We verify the first full backup before handing over to steady-state monitoring.

04

Ongoing Monitoring, Testing & Reporting

Continuous monitoring, monthly recovery testing in an isolated environment, and written monthly reports delivered to you as evidence. You never have to wonder if your backups work.

How This Fits Into Your Environment

Protection works best
alongside resilient infrastructure.

Backup and DR is your recovery layer. Most clients pair it with sovereign infrastructure and hosted voice to complete their continuity posture.

Common Questions

What IT managers
ask us first.

If your workloads are hosted in our managed private cloud, Model 1 (Managed Backup & DR) gives you fully managed, tested protection with monthly reporting and contractual RTO/RPO. If you run your own Veeam infrastructure on-premises or elsewhere, Model 2 (Veeam Cloud Repository) gives you a secure South African offsite destination for your encrypted backups. Many clients use both.

No — and this is by design. Backups pushed to our Veeam Cloud Repository are encrypted by your Veeam installation before they leave your environment. We store the encrypted data securely but do not hold your encryption keys. Restoration is performed by you using your own Veeam console and credentials. This encryption model means your data is inaccessible to anyone but you — even in a worst-case scenario involving our infrastructure.

We test them monthly. Selected workloads are recovered into an isolated environment and verified restorable. You receive a written report with restore results, exception alerts and coverage confirmation every month. We prove it — we don't just assume it.

For managed cloud workloads, recovery time is governed by your contracted RTO — agreed upfront and tested monthly. For critical workloads we typically target sub-4-hour recovery. Immutable copies cannot be encrypted by ransomware, so your recovery point is always clean.

All backup data — whether managed cloud backups or VCSP repository storage — is held inside South African jurisdiction at Teraco Isando, Johannesburg. No data is transferred to or stored in foreign cloud regions. Contractually guaranteed in every service agreement.

Yes. All backup data is stored in South Africa under South African law. Our DPA covers both backup models and is aligned with POPIA requirements. Your information officer can request compliance documentation at any time.
