Case Study: Pyramid8 achieves rapid, reliable disaster recovery after building collapse with Asigra cloud-based backup

Pyramid8 Finds Cloud-Based Backup Solution Comes Through after Building Collapse

Pyramid8 is a small UK recruitment consultancy whose business depends on two SQL databases and more than 30,000 applicant CVs. As the firm grew, its tape-based, onsite-only backups became difficult to manage and left Pyramid8 without an offsite disaster-recovery plan—exposing the company to major data loss and prolonged downtime when their office building later collapsed during renovations.

Pyramid8 partnered with local provider Clovertec to deploy DataGuardian powered by Asigra, a cloud-based, agentless backup and recovery service that protected servers and laptops with AES-256 encryption and offsite retention. When the building collapsed, Clovertec restored Pyramid8’s data to standby systems and set up email and workspace within 48 hours, delivering zero downtime, averting an estimated £50,000 revenue loss, and giving the firm ongoing confidence in its data protection.
