About - lunar-badger

Our Background

lunar-badger was established by IT infrastructure professionals who observed a recurring pattern: businesses investing in backup solutions that failed when they were needed most. The problem was rarely the technology itself, but rather its configuration, testing, and maintenance.

We focus exclusively on backup and recovery systems. This specialisation allows us to stay current with evolving threats, emerging technologies, and regulatory requirements that affect data protection strategies.

Our team brings experience from enterprise IT environments, managed service providers, and data centre operations. We understand the practical constraints that organisations face when implementing backup solutions.

What Guides Our Work

These principles shape how we approach every engagement.

Practical Solutions

We design backup systems that your team can actually manage. Overly complex solutions often fall into disrepair, so we balance capability with maintainability.

Verified Protection

A backup is only as good as its most recent successful restore. We build testing procedures into every implementation and train your staff to verify their backups regularly.

Clear Documentation

When systems fail at 3am, your team needs straightforward recovery procedures. We provide comprehensive documentation written for real-world scenarios.

Ongoing Partnership

Backup requirements evolve as your business grows. We offer support arrangements that keep your protection aligned with your changing infrastructure.

Vendor Independence

We are not tied to specific backup software or hardware vendors. Our recommendations are based on what works best for your particular situation.

Cost Transparency

Data protection involves ongoing costs for storage, licensing, and maintenance. We help you understand the full financial picture before committing to a solution.
