When did you last run a full restore test? And did you time it or price it?

Too often restore tests are a guess. Many teams delay testing because their provider charges to retrieve their own data. Wasabi removes that barrier, so restore checks can become routine — and a proven recovery is worth more than any promise.

If you want dependable backups and straightforward testing, put your backups to the test with L.E.A.D. IT Services.

Tired of choosing between speed and cost for your cloud storage?

Many providers split storage into tiers, which means faster access costs more and cheaper storage can be slow to retrieve. That choice ends up becoming another job, and the bill changes if you guess wrong.

Wasabi keeps things simple:
✔️ One tier, always fast
✔️ Backups you can restore quickly
✔️ Customer files that load instantly
✔️ Archives without a queue

If you want cloud storage that supports reliable, predictable performance for your schools, we can talk through how Wasabi fits your strategy.

Ransomware that targets backups leaves organisations with nowhere to turn. If an attacker can encrypt your backups, they control the recovery.

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage helps prevent that by locking backups the moment they are saved. Object Lock makes those backups immutable for as long as you choose, so no one can change or delete them — not an attacker, not a stolen login, not a careless mistake.

That means your data stays exactly as you left it. A ransom demand becomes something you can ignore, because restoring, resuming and moving on is the practical response.

Do you pay to get your own data back? 😒

Some cloud providers charge for moving, restoring or handing data to a customer. For growing organisations this can be frustrating — it penalises perfectly normal business activity.

You shouldn’t be billed to access the data you’ve stored. Move it when you need to. Restore it when you need to. The bill should stay the same.

L.E.A.D. IT Services can show how this works for your setup.

Most security plans focus on keeping attackers out. A stronger plan also answers a second question: how quickly can we recover if they get in?

Your recovery depends on your storage. Think:
✔️ Immutable backups nobody can change or delete
✔️ A hidden copy attackers cannot find
✔️ Recovery that does not incur extra costs

Together, these elements turn a crisis into a manageable interruption. Wasabi calls this cyber-resilient storage. For your schools and trusts, it means continuity you can plan on and rely upon.

Want to review your recovery plan and storage approach with a team that genuinely cares about education-first outcomes?

L.E.A.D. IT's 2026 Team training day at Alton Towers!

It was great to have the team at Alton Towers last week for a great morning of staff training, followed by lunch and then an afternoon of rides for the thrill seekers and mini golf for the chill seekers... yeah, I'm going with that 😊

Big thank you to Alton Towers for hosting us and Francesca Russell-King for delivering our Skolon training for the wider team.
