Business Continuity & Backup Solutions

We start from two numbers, not from a product: how much data you can afford to lose, and how long you can afford to be down. Those two decide everything else, and they are different for the file server and for the machine that runs the software your business actually runs on. Most owners have never been asked, so we work them out with you before anyone quotes anything.

That is the scenario the whole design exists for. At least one copy is immutable, meaning it cannot be altered or deleted for a fixed retention window even with valid credentials, and at least one lives outside your network where a compromised account cannot log in to it. Attackers try this in the overwhelming majority of attacks, and it succeeds more than half the time when nobody planned for it.

If you cannot answer that, the backup is a hope and not a control. A job that reports success every night can still be backing up nothing useful, and you find out on the worst possible day. We run scheduled restore tests and send you the evidence, so the answer to this question is a date rather than a shrug.

It depends on what we put in place and on what you decide is worth paying to speed up. A file restored from an immutable cloud copy is not the same job as bringing a whole server back, and a server with a local appliance in front of it is not the same as one without. We put the target in writing per system, and then we test it, because a recovery time nobody has measured is a guess.

Yes, and it is the gap most people do not know they have. Microsoft and Google keep your data available, they do not keep a copy for you against a deletion or a compromised account you find out about a month later. Mail, files, calendars and the shared drive content get backed up separately, on a retention you choose.

The cadence belongs in your plan, not in a brochure. We agree it with you when we write the plan and then run the tests your recovery goals call for, from a tabletop walkthrough to a live failover. If an insurer or a contract sets a frequency, we work to that one.

Usually not. We work with the servers, the storage and the cloud accounts you already have. When something genuinely cannot be protected as it stands, which is normally a machine too old to run the agent, we say so, and you hear what it costs before you commit to anything.

With an inventory of what you have, and a restore test on the backup you are running today. That first restore is the useful part: it tells you whether what you are already paying for would have brought you back, and how long it would have taken. Everything after that is a decision about how much of that time you want to buy down.

No, and we do not push one. We work with every major platform through our distribution agreements, so the choice is driven by your recovery targets, your budget and what you already own. If you already have something that works, we will tell you so rather than replace it.
