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

Recovery time depends on how much data you need restored and what type of disaster occurred. With proper cloud disaster recovery systems in place, most businesses can access critical files within 2-4 hours. Complete system restoration typically takes 8-24 hours for small to medium businesses. The key is having everything set up correctly before you need it. CTS tests all recovery procedures regularly so you know exactly what to expect. We also prioritize your most critical systems first, so you can start operating while less essential data finishes restoring in the background.
Backup copies your data to another location. Disaster recovery gets your entire business running again after something goes wrong. Think of backup as insurance and disaster recovery as the emergency response team. You might have backups, but if you don’t know how to restore them quickly or your systems can’t run the applications you need, you’re still stuck. Disaster recovery includes backup systems plus detailed procedures, replacement hardware options, cloud-based alternatives, and everything else needed to keep your business operating. It’s the complete solution, not just one piece of the puzzle.
Most Glenwood businesses spend between $200-800 per month on comprehensive disaster recovery services, depending on how much data they need protected and how quickly they need it restored. This includes automated backup systems, cloud storage, regular testing, and 24/7 monitoring. Compare that to the cost of losing even one day of business operations, which averages $8,000-15,000 for small companies. The investment pays for itself the first time you avoid extended downtime. CTS offers flexible plans that scale with your business size and budget requirements.
Yes, with proper business continuity planning, your team can work from anywhere with internet access. CTS sets up secure cloud-based systems that let employees access files, applications, and communication tools from home or temporary locations. This means your business keeps running even if your office is inaccessible due to flooding, power outages, or other local emergencies. The system includes secure VPN connections, cloud-hosted applications, and remote desktop access to maintain productivity. Many businesses discover their remote capabilities are so effective they continue using them even after returning to normal operations.
CTS recommends testing disaster recovery procedures every 3-6 months, with full system restoration tests at least twice per year. Technology changes, businesses grow, and new vulnerabilities emerge constantly. Regular testing ensures your recovery plan still works and identifies any gaps before you face a real emergency. These tests also train your employees on emergency procedures and help everyone stay calm during actual disasters. Most businesses are surprised by how much they learn during testing sessions, often discovering critical systems or data they forgot to include in their original recovery plan.
Comprehensive disaster recovery protects against both natural and man-made disasters. This includes severe weather common in Illinois like tornadoes, flooding, and ice storms, plus equipment failures, cyberattacks, power outages, and human errors. CTS also plans for less obvious scenarios like key employee departures, supplier disruptions, and extended internet outages. The goal is keeping your business running regardless of what goes wrong. Each plan addresses the specific risks most likely to affect your industry and location. Glenwood businesses face particular challenges from aging infrastructure and severe weather patterns, so local expertise makes a significant difference in planning effectiveness.
