Backup & Disaster Recovery
A backup only counts if you can restore it.
We design backup strategies that keep separate, protected copies of your important data — and we test restores regularly so recovery is a procedure, not a hope.
The challenge
The problem
Many businesses assume their data is backed up because files are "in the cloud." Sync is not backup: deletions, ransomware, and account compromise can sync too. Backups that are never tested often fail when they are needed most.
- No independent copy of Microsoft 365 or cloud data
- Backups stored on the same network they are meant to protect
- No one has ever tried a full restore
- No written plan for operating during an outage
Who it is for
- Any business that couldn't operate without its email, files, or line-of-business data
- Teams relying only on cloud sync
- Organizations asked about backups on insurance questionnaires
Recommended solution
What we do
We follow the widely used 3-2-1 approach: multiple copies, on different media, with at least one kept offsite or isolated.
