To put it simply, what would you do if you lost everything in your Xero account?
It's a scary thought. Xero stores all your bills, sales, customer and supplier data, tax and VAT records, almost everything your organisation needs to operate.
Xero is fantastic at keeping your data secure and available but Xero do not backup your data. So if you lost your data as a victim of a cyber-attack, an employee acting maliciously or even a simple mistake, there is no way of recovering it.
Our fully automated Xero backup costs just £15 + VAT per month for your entire organisation and can be setup within a couple of minutes!
*Limited to one Xero Backup instance per organisation. Limited number of Free Month offers are available each calendar month.
All reviews are carried out by our Managing Director, Phil Donoghue, who is a certified Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assure Assessor.
Here's what's included with your Free Cyber Security Review...
Do Xero recommend using a third-party tool to backup?
Xero’s Services Agreement states: “You must maintain copies of all data inputted into the service. Xero expressly excludes liability for any data loss no matter how caused.”. As Xero doesn't include backup functionality, the only way of backing up Xero is by way of a third-party.
Why do I need Xero backup?
Xero is a fantastic solution for keeping your data safe and available but in some instances you may need to recover data. For example if you suffer a cyber-attack, a disgruntled employee has maliciously deleted data or something as simple as a human error or app integrations causing mayhem.
Xero Backup allows you to restore your most critical data simply in any event.
Where is my data stored?
Your data will be hosted in UK only datacentres which are based in Reading, Slough, Hoddesdon and Gloucester.
Each datacentre has strict access controls, encryption protocols and redundancy built-in.
How do I recover data?
Xero doesn't provide a native restore function so data must be exported from the Control Panel as raw files and imported back into Xero manually. Our team are on hand to support you in the event of a restore.
To provide Security you can trust. Support you can feel. Outcomes you can measure.
