Back-Up

All accounts are backed up daily, retaining a daily, weekly and monthly copy of the backup. Our restore exercises have indicated that in the event of a corruption we would be live again within 2 hours.

Anti-Spam Cluster

We have a custom made cluster of servers to handle incoming email, spam and virus scanning. This works by alleviating the load from the web servers allowing greater performance. In addition the volume of spam you receive is noticeably reduced
