IT Disaster Recovery Services

Back Online in Hours, Not Days

When disaster strikes your business, you need more than hope. You need a system that works.

Your customers don’t care about your server problems. They need your services available when they call. Your employees can’t work when systems are down. Your revenue stops flowing when operations halt.

That’s where real disaster recovery planning makes the difference. Instead of scrambling to figure out what went wrong, you have a tested plan that kicks in immediately. Instead of losing days of productivity, you’re back to serving customers within hours. Instead of wondering if your data survived, you know it’s safe and accessible.

Disaster Recovery Planning Process

Simple Process, Powerful Protection

First, we evaluate your current systems and identify what needs protection. We look at your critical data, essential applications, and business processes that can’t afford downtime. This isn’t a generic assessment – it’s specific to how your business actually operates.

Next, we design a recovery plan that fits your budget and timeline requirements. Some businesses need to be back online in an hour. Others can handle a day of downtime. Your plan reflects what makes sense for your situation.

Then comes implementation and testing. We set up your backup systems, configure recovery procedures, and most importantly, we test everything to make sure it works. Many companies discover their backup systems don’t actually work only when disaster strikes. We make sure yours does.

How long does it take to recover from a disaster?

Recovery time depends on the scope of the disaster and your specific plan. For minor issues like a failed hard drive, you might be back online within an hour. Complete system failures typically take 4-8 hours to fully restore. The key is having systems in place before disaster strikes. Without proper planning, recovery can take days or weeks. We design recovery plans based on how much downtime your business can actually handle, ensuring you get back to serving customers as quickly as possible.
Our service protects against hardware failures, cyber attacks, natural disasters, power outages, human error, and software corruption. This covers everything from a single server crash to a complete facility loss. Weather events like storms and flooding are common in central Illinois, but cyber threats and equipment failures actually cause more business disruptions. Our disaster recovery plan addresses all these scenarios with appropriate response procedures. Whether it’s ransomware encryption or a tornado, your business has a path back to normal operations.
Monthly testing is recommended for critical systems, with full recovery drills every quarter. Testing isn’t just about checking if backups exist – it’s about confirming you can actually restore operations within your required timeframe. Many businesses discover their recovery plans don’t work only when facing a real emergency. Regular testing identifies problems when you have time to fix them. We schedule these tests during low-impact periods and provide detailed reports on what worked and what needs improvement.
Yes, our backup system allows granular recovery of individual files, folders, or entire applications without affecting other operations. This flexibility is crucial for handling smaller issues like accidental deletions or corrupted documents. You don’t need to shut down your entire system to recover one important file. The recovery interface lets you browse backup versions by date and select exactly what you need. This saves time and minimizes disruption for minor recovery situations while maintaining the ability to do complete system restores when necessary.
Our disaster recovery plan includes local backup options that don’t depend on internet connectivity. Critical systems can be restored from on-site backup devices while internet issues are resolved. For businesses that absolutely cannot function without internet access, the plan may include backup connectivity options like cellular data or satellite links. The goal is ensuring you can maintain essential operations regardless of what specific infrastructure fails. We design redundancy into recovery plans so single points of failure don’t stop your entire business.
Cost depends on your data volume, recovery time requirements, and system complexity. Basic plans for small businesses typically start around $200-500 monthly, while comprehensive enterprise solutions can cost several thousand. The investment is small compared to the cost of extended downtime. Most businesses lose more money in a single day of downtime than they spend on disaster recovery in an entire year. We provide detailed cost estimates based on your specific needs and budget constraints, ensuring you get appropriate protection without overpaying for unnecessary features.
