Cloud Managed Backup
Business contingency cloud backup — designed, deployed, and monitored by Brocent's SCC/NOC team across Azure, AWS, and Alicloud.
It's not an overstatement to say that with no data, you have no business. A disaster can occur from fires, floods, cyber-attacks, accidental damage, software failure, or human error. Brocent designs and sets up the cloud managed data backup plan — with local and cloud policies calibrated to your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — and ensures your Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is tested, documented, and ready.

What's Included
Managed Backup Service Coverage
On-Premise Data Backup
Manage all business data backup for on-premise servers and systems — file servers, email servers, accounting systems, databases, and intranet systems.
Data Backup into Cloud
Consolidate all cloud IaaS business data for backup into on-premise storage or into another cloud IaaS storage — providing inter-cloud redundancy across Azure, AWS, and Alicloud.
Backup Media Offsite Storage
Keep all backup media (tapes, hard disks) safely stored in a third-party data warehouse, maintained in healthy status for BCP purposes — with documented chain of custody.
Managed Data Backup Service
Brocent sets up a preventive backup maintenance plan with predefined 24 × 7 monitoring of all backup jobs, supervised by data management specialists with immediate alerting on failure.
Business Contingency Plan (BCP)
Brocent designs and documents the Business Contingency Plan — covering strategy and methodology for data backup and disaster recovery aligned to your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
Regular Recovery Drill
Brocent SCC/NOC teams perform periodical data recovery drills to verify backup integrity and recoverability — producing a drill report that documents recovery success and any gaps identified.
Supported Data
Data Types Covered
Brocent's managed backup service covers all critical business data categories — from daily office files through to full system image backups.
| # | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Files | All common business file formats — documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and daily office files |
| 2 | Electronic mail and email database files — Exchange, Outlook PST, IMAP/POP3 mailbox exports | |
| 3 | Images & Video | Standard format image and video files — JPG, PNG, MP4, and other common media formats |

| 5 | OS / System Images | Full system image backups — Windows, Linux, and macOS servers and workstations |
Backup Architecture
Four Backup Scenarios to Match Your Environment
Brocent designs your backup architecture around one of four proven scenarios — chosen based on your infrastructure, data volume, RTO/RPO requirements, and budget.
Hybrid Mode A
Local Full + Cloud for Critical Data
Full local backup of all on-premise server data. A secondary cloud backup covers only the most critical local data — balancing cost against recoverability for essential business assets.
Hybrid Mode B
Local Full + Cloud for All Data
Full local backup of all on-premise data. The secondary cloud backup covers both local and cloud IaaS data — providing inter-cloud redundancy across all data sources.
Hybrid Mode C
Full Bidirectional Redundancy
All local and cloud data is backed up to the on-premise data room. Additionally, the entire on-premise backup is replicated 1:1 to offsite cloud storage — maximum redundancy for mission-critical environments.
Single Cloud Mode
Cloud-Only Backup
Businesses using only cloud infrastructure have all user PC data and server data backed up exclusively to cloud storage — no on-premise hardware investment required.
Data Security
Five-Layer Backup Security Framework
Every Brocent managed backup deployment is secured across five layers — from data transfer through to recovery — ensuring your backup data is protected at every stage.
Data Transfer
Encrypted transfer over public network, scheduled during off-peak hours to minimise performance impact on live systems.
Data Storage
Backup data is encrypted at rest and stored across one or more geographically distributed cloud storage centres.
Data Access
Only authorised personnel and service accounts can access backup data sources — role-based access control enforced.
Data Recovery
Backup data can be restored and tested only within authorised server and software environments — ensuring recovery integrity and compliance.
Data Synchronisation
Differential backup sync runs on a fixed schedule and frequency — only changed data is transferred, reducing bandwidth usage and backup windows.
Storage Destinations
Supported Cloud & On-Premise Storage Platforms
Brocent supports all major cloud storage providers — including Azure and AWS China Mainland regions for businesses with data residency requirements. Both Microsoft Azure and AWS support data storage in mainland China.
Microsoft Azure
Azure Blob LRS/GRS — China North and global regions. ~¥0.18/GB/month (LRS China North). Supports mainland China data residency.
Amazon AWS
AWS S3 — China (Beijing/Ningxia) regions and global. Supports mainland China data residency requirements.
Alicloud / Alibaba
Alicloud Object Storage Service (OSS) — preferred for China Mainland ICP-compliant deployments. Competitive pricing for large volumes.
On-Premise NAS
Synology, QNAP, NetApp, and other NAS/SAN devices as local backup targets. Used as primary backup in Hybrid Mode scenarios.
Technology Stack
Backup Software & Tools
Brocent engineers are certified on all major backup platforms. Software selection is based on your server environment, data volume, and cloud storage preference.

CloudBerry (MSP360)
Cloud-first backup tool supporting Azure, AWS, Alicloud, and local storage. Ideal for mixed on-premise and cloud environments.
Azure Backup
Native Microsoft Azure backup service — integrated with Azure VMs, SQL, SAP HANA, and file shares. No additional licensing for Azure workloads.
Acronis
Cyber protection platform combining backup, anti-ransomware, and disaster recovery for endpoints, servers, and Microsoft 365 workloads.
Indicative Cost
Cloud Storage Cost Reference
Storage cost varies by provider and region. The example below is based on Azure Blob LRS pricing for China North — one of the lowest-cost options available. Actual pricing depends on your data volume, backup frequency, and chosen platforms. Brocent's service fee covers design, setup, monitoring, and management — separate from cloud storage costs.
| Item | Volume | Rate | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azure Blob LRS — Hot (China North) | 8 TB | ¥0.18/GB | ~¥1,475 |
| Data Read Operations | 10K ops | ¥0 | ¥0 |
| Data Transfer Out | 1 GB | ¥0 | ¥0 |
| Data Transfer In | 1 GB | ¥0 | ¥0 |
| Total Example (8 TB, Azure LRS China North) | ~¥1,475/mo | ||
