IT Disaster Recovery Solutions

What Recovery Really Looks Like

When your systems go down, you’re not scrambling to figure out what’s salvageable. You’re not calling employees to tell them they can’t work today. You’re not explaining to customers why their orders are delayed.

Instead, your backup systems kick in automatically. Your team accesses files from the cloud while your primary systems get restored. Your business keeps running because you planned for this moment.

That’s what real disaster recovery does. It turns potential catastrophes into minor inconveniences. It protects the revenue, relationships, and reputation you’ve worked years to build.

Disaster Recovery Process

How We Protect Your Business

First, we assess your current setup and identify vulnerabilities. We look at your data, systems, and processes to understand what needs protection and how quickly you need it back online.

Next, we design your disaster recovery plan. This includes automated backups, cloud storage solutions, and step-by-step recovery procedures tailored to your business. We test everything to make sure it actually works.

When disaster strikes, our monitoring systems alert us immediately. We start recovery procedures while keeping you updated on progress and timelines. Most clients are back online within hours, not days.

We also conduct regular tests and updates to your plan. Technology changes, your business grows, and new threats emerge. Your disaster recovery plan evolves with you.

How long does it take to recover data after a disaster?

Recovery time depends on how much data you need restored and your internet connection speed. For most small businesses, critical systems are back online within 2-4 hours. Complete data restoration typically takes 6-24 hours. We prioritize your most important files first, so you can resume operations while background recovery continues. During the initial assessment, we’ll give you specific timeframes based on your data volume and recovery requirements.
Our disaster recovery services protect against hardware failures, ransomware attacks, accidental deletions, natural disasters like floods or storms, power outages, and human error. We’ve handled everything from coffee spilled on servers to tornado damage in Champaign. The key is having multiple backup locations and recovery methods, so no single event can destroy all your data. Cloud backups protect against local disasters, while local backups ensure quick recovery from minor issues.
Most small businesses in Champaign pay between $200-800 monthly for comprehensive disaster recovery, depending on data volume and recovery speed requirements. This covers automated backups, cloud storage, monitoring, and our response services. Compare that to the average cost of just one day of downtime, which runs $8,000-74,000 for small businesses according to industry studies. We’ll assess your specific needs and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Yes, in many cases we can recover data from failed hard drives, corrupted databases, and even some ransomware attacks. Our success rate depends on how the data was lost and how quickly you contact us. The sooner we start recovery efforts, the better your chances. We use specialized tools and techniques that often recover files other companies can’t. However, this is exactly why having a proactive disaster recovery plan is so important – prevention is always more reliable than recovery after the fact.
We recommend testing your disaster recovery plan quarterly, and we handle this for you as part of our service. Testing involves restoring a sample of your data to verify backups are working properly and measuring actual recovery times. We also test your team’s response procedures to identify any gaps in the plan. After major system changes or software updates, additional testing ensures your recovery plan still works properly. Regular testing is the only way to know your plan will actually work when you need it most.
While we focus primarily on Champaign and surrounding Central Illinois communities, we can provide remote disaster recovery services to businesses throughout Illinois. Our cloud-based backup and monitoring systems work anywhere with internet access. However, businesses within our local service area get the advantage of rapid on-site response when needed. If you’re outside Champaign, we’ll discuss how we can best support your disaster recovery needs and whether local partnerships might benefit your response times.
