Redstor Backup Solution
Protecting your school’s data has never been more important. From accidental deletion to cyber attacks, data loss can cause significant disruption to teaching and daily operations.
As a Redstor partner, we deliver secure, cloud-first backup solutions tailored to your school. Following a site survey, we design and implement a system that protects your data across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, servers and user devices—ensuring it is always recoverable when you need it most.
Redstor protects your school’s data and ensures it can be quickly recovered when something goes wrong.

How Redstor Works
Why Haz Technology?
As a Redstor partner, we don’t just provide the platform – we ensure it’s implemented correctly and works for your school from day one.
We start with a site survey to understand your systems, users and priorities, then design and deploy a backup solution tailored to your environment. From Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to servers and devices, we make sure everything is properly protected.
Once in place, we continue to support you, helping manage, maintain and restore your data when needed – so you’re never left dealing with backup alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
While platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace provide availability, they do not offer full backup.
If data is deleted, corrupted or affected by a cyber attack, it may not be recoverable without a dedicated backup solution. Redstor ensures your data can be restored quickly, reducing disruption to teaching and operations.
Redstor’s education offering is typically based on pupil numbers, providing predictable, all-inclusive pricing with storage and retention included.
We can provide a tailored quote following a site survey to ensure the solution matches your school’s needs.
We act as your implementation partner.
We begin with a site survey to understand your systems, users and priorities, then design and deploy a Redstor backup solution tailored to your school. We handle the setup, configuration and rollout, ensuring everything is protected correctly from day one.
We also provide ongoing support, helping you maintain, monitor and adapt your backup solution over time, as your environment changes.
Yes – the Department for Education requires schools to have a robust backup strategy in place as part of its Cyber Security Standards. Schools should follow the 3-2-1 rule (3 copies of data, 2 locations, 1 offsite), regularly test backups, and include them within a wider disaster recovery and business continuity plan.
Redstor helps support these requirements by providing secure, offsite, cloud-based backups.
Implementation typically takes around 2–3 weeks from initial engagement, depending on the size and complexity of your environment.
We recommend planning deployment during school holiday periods to minimise disruption.
Redstor can protect a wide range of systems, including:
- Microsoft 365 (OneDrive, Email, Teams, SharePoint)
- Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, etc.)
- School servers and virtual machines
- Staff and student devices (laptops and desktops)
This provides full coverage across both cloud and on-premise environments.
Recovery times depend on the type and size of the data being restored, but in most cases:
- Individual files or emails can often be restored within minutes
- Larger datasets or full systems may take longer, depending on volume and internet speed
Redstor’s fast recovery capabilities are designed to minimise downtime and allow schools to quickly regain access to critical data when needed.
