Rapid Recovery System

The importance of Data Protection is not only having a solution that backs up your data but also being able to restore data once a hardware failure has happened. Having your data sitting on tapes or disks without a rapid retrieval solution is like investing your hard-earned money in a savings account with the bank, then going to make an emergency withdrawal and finding out you need to wait a minimum of seven days to get your money, or worse, the money is no longer even there.

This is why Dajon has decided to provide an unrivalled solution in Rapid Recovery Appliances. This solution has proved to reduce Server failure downtime from days to minutes. Secured in our offsite tape and media vaulting, you can rest easy knowing that your backups are stored in a safe space for rainy days.

Don’t let a system crash or a lost file cost you time and money. Get back to business quickly with one of the UK’s most trusted offsite tape storage companies.


Online Backup Services

Online backup is the most efficient way of protecting your business-critical data. It provides you with excellent flexibility and ensures that data is always available whenever you need access to it.

You may have all your files stored electronically on your servers, but what if you suffer a major computer crash? What if an employee accidentally deletes a key document?

Dajon Data Management provides secure and robust online backup solutions for all your digital files within our electronic document management systems, so you won’t be left high and dry.

We do not simply offer you a replicated database of your documents. Instead, we provide total web access to your online data, which means you can get the information you need, when you need it, in just a few clicks.


Affordable Document Storage & Archiving

If your business-critical data is backed up online, you might not see the need for offsite backup as well. But media tapes are still the most reliable form of data backup around. These offline security measures give you protection against online attacks and ensure you can always roll back systems to a more secure state. Furthermore, when systems go down, our offsite tape storage gives you the ability to run remotely and get trading while the issue is dealt with.

For example, in the event of a major power cut, during which access to online files is restricted, media tapes could prove invaluable and help you continue trading as normal.

Dajon Data Management provides offsite media and tape vaults and storage in environmentally controlled conditions using industry-leading barcoding and electronic tracking software.

Tapes are carried in virtually indestructible cases, protecting them from all manner of threats, and our data storage facilities are video-monitored 24 hours a day.


Rapid Retrieval and Automated Data Rotation

In an emergency, we can have your tapes with you in a guaranteed two hours, and electronic tracking devices allow you to track the progress of your delivery.

Dajon Data Management also works closely with you to understand your data backup rotation needs, providing a bespoke automated rotation service that lets you get on with the day-to-day running of your business.

We provide you with your operational account manager who will collect and backup your tapes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, depending on your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is offsite tape storage?

Offsite tape storage is the practice of keeping backup tapes at a secure facility away from your main business location. These tapes contain critical business data and act as a safeguard against data loss in the event of system failure, cyberattack, or other disaster.

Storing tapes offsite adds an essential layer of protection to your organisation’s business continuity and disaster recovery strategy. Vital information can be quickly restored whenever it’s needed.

What is offsite tape vaulting?

Offsite tape vaulting takes traditional tape storage a step further by adding enhanced security, regular management, and full traceability. It’s designed for organisations that need absolute confidence in the protection and accessibility of their backup media.

In a tape vaulting service, backup tapes are collected on a scheduled basis and transported to a secure facility. Once received, they’re logged, catalogued, and stored under strict environmental and security controls: Biometric access, fire suppression, and 24-hour monitoring, etc.

Tapes can also be rotated regularly to keep backup cycles up to date, ensuring your data remains recoverable whenever it’s needed.

What are the best practices for offsite tape storage?

Best practices for offsite tape storage start with selecting a reputable offsite storage provider with robust security and environmental controls. Ensure that the facility is equipped with fire suppression systems, climate control, and advanced security measures. Regularly transport and rotate backup tapes to ensure that data is consistently updated and accessible.

It’s also crucial to catalogue and label tapes accurately to facilitate easy retrieval when needed. Implementing a chain of custody protocol ensures that tapes are securely handled during transportation and storage, minimising the risk of data breaches or loss.

Where should backup tapes be stored?

Backup tapes are best kept in a secure offsite storage facility that’s purpose-built for protecting critical business data. These facilities provide far greater protection than standard office environments, with controlled access, climate regulation, and comprehensive disaster recovery measures.

It’s also important to store tapes at a safe distance from your primary business location. That way, if your main site is affected by fire, flooding, or another local incident, your backups remain completely secure.

What does offsite vaulting apply to?

Offsite vaulting can be used for any type of physical backup media, including magnetic tapes, hard drives, and optical discs. It’s an essential part of a robust data protection strategy – especially for organisations that rely on regular backups to safeguard critical information. In those sectors where strict regulations require long-term secure data retention (finance, healthcare, government, etc.), this approach is particularly valuable.

By storing backup media in a secure offsite vault, businesses can protect their data against loss, damage, or corruption at their main site. It also ensures that essential data remains easily recoverable when needed — supporting both compliance and business continuity.

Why should backup media be stored offsite?

Keeping backup media offsite is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your organisation’s data. Should your office suffer fire, flood, cyberattack, or some other disaster; your backups remain completely safe and recoverable. It’s a critical layer of redundancy: Essential data can be restored quickly when it’s needed most.

Also, if your organisation has certain compliance or data protection requirements, keeping media offsite is important. By storing your backups in a specialist offsite facility, you strengthen your overall disaster recovery and business continuity strategy. If the worst should happen, your business can get back up and running fast – with minimal disruption.
