Data Storage

Your data, kept safe beyond your software.

Data Storage gives you a secure, independent copy of your data, held separately from your software provider. If a system goes down, a contract ends or records are lost, your business still has a copy of the information it runs on. With regular backups over time, earlier versions of your data stay within reach too.

An independent copy

A secure copy of your CRM, ATS or payroll data, held by Data Migrator and separate from your software provider.

Backups over time

One-off or regular backups on a schedule agreed with you, building a history of your data you can go back to.

Ready when you need it

Your data delivered in the format you need, including CSV, Excel, SQL and .bak files, ready to review, report on or import.

✓

You stay in control. You decide what we store, how often it’s backed up and how long it’s kept. We work alongside your software provider and internal teams, on a fixed-fee, time-and-materials or bespoke basis.

Your software holds your data. Your business should hold a copy too.

From business continuity to regular backups, explore what we store below.

WHY KEEP A COPY

Business Continuity and Data Backups: Your data, protected two ways.

Business continuity means your data doesn’t depend on one provider. Regular backups mean you can go back to it over time. Choose one, or combine both.

01 · BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Business Continuity: Your data, independent of your provider.

Most cloud-based CRM and ATS systems hold your data on their platform alone. An external copy keeps your records within reach if something changes.

An independent copy

Your data held securely by Data Migrator, separate from your software provider.

System outages

A copy of your key records to refer to if your system is unavailable.

Contract changes

Your data kept safe if a contract ends, terms change or a system is retired.

Accidental loss

A recent copy to check against after a deletion, bad import or bulk update gone wrong.

Legacy systems

Data from retired or legacy systems kept secure after you’ve moved on.

Documents & files

CVs, attachments and documents stored alongside your records, including files held in BLOBs.

Secure handling

Your data processed on Data Migrator’s own secure local servers by an experienced team.

GDPR & retention

Retention periods agreed with you, with records past typical retention identified for your review.

02 · REGULAR BACKUPS

Regular Backups: A history of your data, over time.

Scheduled backups build a timeline of your data, so you’re never relying on a single snapshot.

One-off snapshot

A complete copy taken at a key moment, such as before a migration or system change.

Scheduled backups

Regular backups on a schedule agreed with you, such as weekly, monthly or quarterly.

Point-in-time history

Earlier backups kept, so you can see how your data looked on a given date.

Retrieval on request

Ask for any backup we hold and we’ll deliver it in the format you need.

Ready-to-use formats

Delivered as CSV, Excel, SQL or .bak files, ready to review or prepare for import.

Archive & reporting

Stored data available for reporting and data analysis, without touching your live system.

i

Every system is different. How often and how fully we can back up depends on the exports or access your system allows. We’ll confirm what’s possible before we start.
