Automated Backups & Monitoring
Stroud Cloud is designed to ensure that your Data is automatically and securely stored, and only locally. Part of this is the arrival of your data is occasionally checked.
It's Safe and Securely Stored only in Stroud
Your data is encrypted on your device before being sent and only you hold the encryption key, this way no one else can read your data, even if they somehow gain access to it!
Fires, Thefts, Floods or Ransomeware cannot harm your backed up data if its stored with Stroud Cloud.
Backups are Scheduled
Incremental and Full data sets are produced by your computer (when on), encrypted and sent automatically for storage.
Schedules are determined by you so we cover any compliance requirements you have.
Recovering Your Data is Fast!
You can download your data via broadband, or if this is not fast enough (maybe you have a large data set or slow broadband), we can deliver it to you via portable media. *
Your data can be Speed Delivered and Restored at USB3 speed
* Chargeable at normal hourly rates, do ask if special arrangements are required, we will always do our best to help!
This is much faster for larger recoveries than broadband.
You manage your own data store, so you decide what to keep and what to remove through your portal login.

Thank you so much for your help in saving my computer after the “blue screen of death” appeared ... for repairing my laptop and getting it running like silk better than it has been for the last year or so. - In appreciation Louise.
"I'm blind and use a screen reading system to access my computer. Greg Dance was recommended to me by another blind person, as he has learned about speech systems, an area in which he specialises. I find him extremely helpful, patient, thorough and reliable. He's really helped me to get the most out of my computer, and I'm very grateful for all that he's done." - MK Nailsworth Glos.
