Redstor Education Cloud Backup & Recovery
Powered by Redstor. Delivered by L.E.A.D. IT Services.
Modern organisations rely on cloud platforms, digital collaboration and connected systems more than ever before – but too many still assume their data is fully protected.
The reality is different.
Whether you are a Multi Academy Trust protecting critical safeguarding and operational data, or a corporate organisation managing business-critical systems and Microsoft 365 environments, data loss, ransomware, accidental deletion and cyber threats remain significant risks.
At L.E.A.D. IT Services, we deliver Redstor Cloud Backup & Recovery as part of our wider cyber security and disaster recovery portfolio – combining enterprise-grade backup technology with proactive management, expert support and strategic guidance.
As a trusted MSP partner, we ensure Redstor becomes more than just a backup platform. It becomes part of a resilient, business-focused continuity strategy that protects your people, systems and operations.
Importantly, Redstor can be delivered as:
- A fully integrated solution within our managed IT and cyber security services
- A standalone backup and recovery service for organisations that require enterprise-grade protection without changing IT provider
- A scalable solution for hybrid, cloud-first and multi-site environments
Enterprise-grade Cloud Backup designed for modern organisations
Redstor delivers intelligent cloud backup and recovery designed for today’s hybrid IT environments.
From Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace through to servers, endpoints and cloud infrastructure, Redstor provides secure, scalable and highly resilient backup technology that protects organisations from disruption.
Unlike traditional backup systems that rely on complex infrastructure and manual management, Redstor is built cloud-first – enabling rapid deployment, simplified administration and fast recovery when it matters most.
Key capabilities include:
Microsoft 365 backup and recovery
Google Workspace backup protection
Server and endpoint backup
Cloud-to-cloud backup services
Immutable backup protection against ransomware
Fast file, mailbox and full-system recovery
AI-powered ransomware detection and anomaly monitoring
Centralised multi-site management
Automated backup verification and reporting
Flexible retention policies and compliance support
Secure UK and global cloud storage options
This ensures organisations can recover quickly, minimise downtime and maintain operational continuity during cyber incidents, accidental deletion or infrastructure failure.
Protecting Education environments with confidence
Education environments face unique pressures.
Schools, colleges and Multi Academy Trusts must protect sensitive safeguarding records, student information, operational systems and teaching resources – all while managing increasing cyber threats, growing compliance responsibilities and limited internal IT capacity. At the same time, the Department for Education continues to strengthen expectations around cyber resilience, backup protection and disaster recovery planning.
L.E.A.D. IT Services helps education organisations meet these challenges through a fully managed Redstor backup and recovery service designed specifically for the education sector.
Supporting schools, colleges and Multi Academy Trusts
Our Redstor Education Backup offering helps protect:
- Microsoft 365 environments including Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams
- Student and staff data
- Safeguarding and compliance records
- Curriculum resources and teaching content
- Finance and MIS systems
- On-premise servers and hybrid infrastructure
- Staff laptops and remote devices
- Google Workspace environments
This creates a resilient backup and recovery strategy that supports both operational continuity and safeguarding responsibilities.
Helping schools align with DfE cyber resilience guidance
Redstor supports education organisations in aligning with key DfE cyber security expectations, including:
Secure backup and disaster recovery planning
Protection against ransomware disruption
Recovery testing and validation
Multi-layered cyber resilience strategies
Business continuity preparedness
Protection of safeguarding-related information
With L.E.A.D. IT Services managing and optimising the platform, schools and Trusts gain confidence that backup protection is not only deployed – but continuously monitored and maintained.
A smarter approach to Microsoft 365 Backup
Many organisations incorrectly assume Microsoft fully protects Microsoft 365 data.
While Microsoft provides platform availability, responsibility for protecting and recovering data still sits with the organisation.
This means accidental deletion, malicious activity, ransomware attacks and retention limitations can still result in permanent data loss.
Redstor provides dedicated Microsoft 365 backup and recovery protection across:
Exchange Online
OneDrive
SharePoint Online
Microsoft Teams
Group and shared mailbox data
Fast recovery when every minute matters
Redstor enables organisations to recover:
Individual emails and files
Entire mailboxes
SharePoint sites
Teams data and conversations
Historical versions of data
Large-scale Microsoft 365 environments
This significantly reduces downtime and operational disruption while helping maintain productivity across staff and users.
Designed for hybrid and multi-site organisations
Whether supporting a single school, a growing Multi Academy Trust or a distributed corporate environment, Redstor scales easily across multiple locations and users. Its cloud-native architecture eliminates the complexity of traditional backup infrastructure while providing centralised visibility and management.
Advanced ransomware protection and cyber resilience
Ransomware continues to be one of the biggest threats facing education and business environments. Traditional backup systems are increasingly targeted by attackers, making resilient and immutable backup protection essential.
Redstor delivers advanced cyber resilience capabilities designed to protect backup integrity and accelerate recovery.
Intelligent ransomware protection includes:
Immutable backup storage
AI-powered anomaly detection
Automated ransomware monitoring
Rapid recovery from clean restore points
Encrypted backup transmission and storage
Backup integrity verification
Reduced recovery time objectives (RTOs)
This allows organisations to recover quickly without paying ransoms or suffering extended operational downtime.
When combined with L.E.A.D. IT Services’ wider cyber security and disaster recovery expertise, Redstor becomes part of a layered cyber resilience strategy — not simply a standalone backup tool.

Cyber Essentials and cyber resilience objectives
Data protection and governance requirements
