What It Is

DataZeker is an enterprise-focused data backup and recovery service built around “enterprise-grade capabilities with less operational complexity.” It protects Microsoft 365, physical/virtual servers, and employee workstations, with an emphasis on automated recovery testing, ransomware protection, and keeping data in the Netherlands. The company behind it is Hollanders Diensten en Consultancy, and its positioning is largely aimed at IT security and managed backup needs for Dutch SMBs.

Core Capabilities and Security

Its feature set is fairly comprehensive: for Microsoft 365, it protects Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams; for servers, it supports Windows, Linux, VMware vSphere, and Hyper-V; for workstations, it supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Backup intervals can be as frequent as 15 minutes, retention can be up to 7 years, and it supports file-level recovery, bare-metal recovery, Virtual Standby, delayed synchronization, local NAS copies, and a unified dashboard. On the security side, it offers AES 256-bit end-to-end encryption, mandatory MFA, immutable isolated backups, and automated recovery testing. Data is stored in the Netherlands by default, with other European data centers also available. Its data centers hold ISO 27001, SOC 1 Type II, and SOC 2 Type II certifications.

Pricing and Service Model

Pricing is transparent, billed monthly, and has no minimum cancellation term: workstations cost €13.50/device/month, virtual servers €26.50/server/month, physical servers €66/month, Microsoft 365 for up to 25 users €59/month, Virtual Standby €6.50/device/month, and extra capacity €0.02/GB, all excluding VAT. Cloud storage is included, and there is a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Customers can choose Managed Backup, where DataZeker handles configuration, monitoring, recovery, and monthly reporting, or use the dashboard for self-service management.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

The strengths are broad backup coverage, clear pricing, optional managed operations, immutable backups, and recovery verification. It is especially suitable for SMBs that lack a dedicated backup team but need GDPR/AVG compliance and Dutch data residency. The drawbacks are that the main content does not disclose details about APIs, webhooks, role-based permissions, or broad third-party integrations. While 24/7 monitoring is mentioned, phone support hours appear to be limited to weekday business hours, and its international capabilities are also unclear.

China Access and Alternatives

The site and service are primarily aimed at the Dutch market. The main content does not provide information about network accessibility from China, RMB payments, Chinese-language support, or China-region data centers, so China access should be considered unknown. Chinese companies that need local compliance, invoicing, and low latency may compare it with Alibaba Cloud Hybrid Backup Recovery or Tencent Cloud Cloud Backup. For cross-border or EU branch backup needs, alternatives such as Acronis, Veeam, Datto, and Barracuda may be worth comparing.
