Frequently asked questions
What are the risks of not having a Meraki backup and restore solution?
Even in well-managed environments, configuration changes can happen for many reasons, including:
- Cyber incidents – malicious activity, compromised credentials or ransomware
- Hardware failure – device replacement after outages
- Software updates or firmware changes – introducing unexpected variations
- API automations or third-party apps – unintentionally altering settings
- Human error – accidental edits, incorrect deployments or device removal
Without a reliable backup and restore capability, organisations face:
- Unplanned downtime with increased disruption and risk – even small changes can affect performance, connectivity and compliance
- Extended recovery times – lack of historical configurations can make restoring services slow and complex
- Limited visibility – no clear view of what changed and when
How are Cisco Meraki configurations backed up?
Unlike manual exports or capturing static information, Bistech Restore automates the recovery process. Every configuration change across devices, Meraki networks, templates and organisational settings is captured daily.
This ensures you always have a current, restorable configuration without relying on manual processes, out-of-date files or human intervention.
Does this replace native Meraki features?
No, Bistech Restore complements Cisco Meraki, adding capabilities not available natively, such as:
- Automated daily backups
- Rapid, full-environment or item recovery
- Additional visibility and control to support governance and compliance
This is about going beyond best-in-class connectivity to ensure resilience and continuity.
Does this solve my disaster recovery challenges?
Bistech Restore significantly reduces the impact of configuration-related incidents by providing fast restoration, visilibilty of changes and stronger operational governance.
While it doesn’t replace a full business continuity plan or site-level DR, it secures one of the most critical and often overlooked elements: network configuration integrity.
How does Bistech Restore support governance and compliance?
Governance and compliance start with control and visibility. Bistech Restore provides automated, backups and change visibility across your entire Meraki environment which helps support adherence to internal policies and regulatory frameworks.
For added assurance, Bistech is certified to ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, meaning security and data protection are built into everything we do.
Is my data secure with Bistech Restore?
Absolutely. All configuration data is stored securely within UK data centres using industry-standard encryption methods. The service is managed by Bistech, which is independently certified to ISO 27001 for information security management and accredited with Cyber Essentials Plus, ensuring robust protection against cyber threats.
