Keep Your Business Running

When disaster strikes, you need more than hope. You need a plan that actually works.

Your business runs on data. Customer records, financial information, years of work – it’s all digital now. One server crash, power outage, or ransomware attack could shut you down for days or weeks. That’s lost revenue, frustrated customers, and sleepless nights wondering if you’ll recover everything.

Our disaster recovery services give you something invaluable: certainty. You’ll know your data is protected, your systems can be restored quickly, and your business will survive whatever comes next. We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on running your company, not worrying about what might happen to it.

Disaster Recovery Plan Process

Simple Process, Powerful Protection

We start by understanding your business. What systems are critical? How much downtime can you handle? What data absolutely cannot be lost? This isn’t a one-size-fits-all conversation.

Next, we design your disaster recovery plan. We’ll set up automated backups, configure redundant systems, and create step-by-step recovery procedures. Everything is documented clearly so you know exactly what happens if disaster strikes.

Then we test it. Regular testing ensures your backups work and your recovery time meets your business needs. We don’t just assume everything is working – we prove it. When you need to recover, you’ll know the plan works because we’ve already done it.

How long does it take to recover my business systems after a disaster?

Recovery time depends on several factors: the type of disaster, how much data needs to be restored, and your specific recovery plan. Most of our clients can resume critical operations within 2-4 hours for partial outages. Complete system rebuilds typically take 8-24 hours, but you’ll often have access to essential data much sooner through temporary systems. We design recovery plans based on your tolerance for downtime, so you know exactly what to expect. During planning, we’ll give you specific time estimates for different disaster scenarios.
Regular backups just copy your data – disaster recovery planning ensures you can actually use it when needed. Backups might save your files, but disaster recovery gets your entire business running again. This includes having replacement hardware ready, knowing exactly which systems to restore first, and having tested procedures for different types of disasters. Many businesses discover their backups are incomplete or corrupted only when they try to use them. Disaster recovery planning includes regular testing to make sure everything works before you need it.
Disaster recovery investment varies based on your business size, data volume, and recovery time requirements. Most small businesses spend between $200-800 monthly for comprehensive protection. This typically costs far less than a single day of downtime. Consider that the average small business loses $8,000-15,000 per day during system outages. Professional disaster recovery pays for itself the first time it prevents extended downtime. We’ll assess your specific needs and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise costs.
Yes, we provide emergency data recovery services even if you don’t have existing backups with us. Our success depends on the type of failure and how much damage occurred to your storage devices. Hard drive crashes, server failures, and even some ransomware attacks can often be recovered from. However, recovery is more expensive and time-consuming than having proper backups in place. We’ll evaluate your situation and give you an honest assessment of what can be recovered before starting any work.
Absolutely. We understand HIPAA requirements for healthcare practices and financial industry regulations for data protection. Our disaster recovery solutions include encryption, access controls, and documentation needed for compliance audits. We’ll ensure your backup and recovery processes meet industry standards and help you maintain required data retention policies. Many of our clients are medical practices, banks, and professional services firms with strict compliance needs. We handle the technical requirements so you can focus on serving your clients.
Smart question. We use multiple data centers and cloud providers so your backups aren’t dependent on any single location or company. Your data is stored in geographically separate locations with different providers, ensuring redundancy even if our primary systems fail. We also provide you with direct access to your backup data, so you’re never locked into working only with us. Our disaster recovery plans include provisions for transferring your data and recovery procedures to other providers if needed. You maintain control of your business data at all times.
