Backup & Disaster Recovery

When something fails, your data is still there.

Ransomware, a failed drive, a deleted file, or a fire. Offsite backups you can recover from, actually configured and monitored, not left on default settings.

What we protect, and how

3-2-1 backup

Three copies of your data, on two kinds of storage, with one kept offsite. The standard that protects you from a single failure taking out both your data and its backup.

Microsoft 365 backup

Microsoft keeps your service running, but recovering deleted mail, files, or a compromised account is on you. We back up Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint independently so it can be restored.

Immutable copies

Zero ways for ransomware to alter or delete them. Immutable backups are locked once written, so even an attacker with full access to your network cannot encrypt the copy you recover from.

How backups are monitored

Every backup is checked

We confirm each backup actually ran and completed, because a backup that silently failed is worse than no backup at all. A failed or missed job gets flagged the same day, not discovered during a recovery.

Completed → logged

Warning → reviewed

Failed → ticket opened

The offsite copy is confirmed

A backup that only exists on-site is lost in the same fire, flood, or ransomware event as the original. We confirm your data made it to the offsite copy, so there's a second location to recover from when the first one is gone.

Synced → confirmed

Delayed → checked

Missing → escalated

Retention and immutability hold

Backups are only useful if the right history is kept and can't be tampered with. We confirm older restore points are retained on schedule and that immutable copies stay locked, so a clean version is always there to recover from.

Locked → verified

Expiring → reviewed

Gap → investigated

What we back up

Servers

Physical and virtual servers, including the operating system, applications, and data. Rebuilt from backup after a hardware failure instead of set up from scratch.

Workstations and laptops

The desktops and laptops your team works on. A lost, stolen, or failed device doesn't have to mean lost files or a day spent rebuilding someone's setup.

Microsoft 365

Exchange mail, OneDrive, and SharePoint, backed up independently of Microsoft. Deleted or compromised data stays recoverable past the short window Microsoft keeps it.

Network and device configs

Firewall, switch, and router configurations. When a device fails, the settings that took hours to get right are restored instead of rebuilt from memory.

Backup & recovery basics

What's the difference between a backup and a disaster recovery plan?

A backup is a copy of your data. A disaster recovery plan is what turns that copy back into a working business: what gets restored, in what order, how fast, and who does it. A folder of backups with no plan around it is a copy you hope works. We set up both.
