Disaster Recovery Process Steps

Simple Setup, Automatic Protection, Fast Recovery

First, we assess your current systems and identify what data is critical to your operations. Not everything needs the same level of protection, so we prioritize based on what would actually shut down your business.

Next, we set up automated backups that run continuously in the background. Your data gets copied to secure cloud storage and local backup devices. You don’t have to remember to run backups or worry about whether they’re working.

When disaster strikes, we implement your recovery plan immediately. Depending on the situation, we can restore individual files, entire databases, or complete system images. Most recoveries happen within hours, not days.

We test your disaster recovery systems regularly to make sure they actually work when you need them. There’s nothing worse than discovering your backups are corrupted during an emergency.

Everything You Need for Full Protection

Your disaster recovery plan includes automated cloud backups that run every few hours, capturing changes to your critical files and databases. Local backup devices provide faster recovery for recent data, while cloud storage ensures offsite protection from physical disasters.

We monitor your backup systems around the clock to catch failures before they become problems. If a backup doesn’t complete properly, we know about it immediately and fix the issue.

Regular recovery testing proves your backups actually work. We document every test and update your recovery procedures based on what we learn. When you need to recover data, you’ll have step-by-step instructions that have been proven to work.

Your plan covers everything from recovering a single deleted file to rebuilding your entire network after a major disaster. Different situations require different approaches, and we prepare for all of them.

How quickly can you restore our data after a system failure?

Recovery time depends on how much data needs to be restored and what type of failure occurred. For individual files or small databases, we can usually have you back up and running within an hour. Complete system restores typically take 2-4 hours for most small businesses. If your server hardware is damaged, we can have temporary systems running while we rebuild your permanent infrastructure. The key is having proper backups in place before you need them—that’s what makes fast recovery possible.
Cloud backups protect your data even when your physical location is completely destroyed. Your files are stored in secure data centers far from Staunton, so local disasters can’t touch them. We can set up temporary operations at a new location and restore your data to new equipment. Many businesses are surprised how quickly they can resume operations after major disasters when they have proper offsite backups. The biggest challenge is usually replacing hardware, not recovering data.
We test your disaster recovery systems every month by actually restoring data to a separate test environment. This proves your backups are complete and usable, not just empty files taking up space. You receive detailed reports showing exactly what was tested and how long recovery took. We also monitor backup jobs daily and alert you immediately if anything fails. Most backup failures happen because nobody checks whether the backups actually work until it’s too late.
Proper disaster recovery planning is your best defense against ransomware. When attackers encrypt your files and demand payment, you can simply restore clean backups from before the attack occurred. We maintain multiple backup versions going back several weeks, so even if ransomware sits undetected for a while, we can find clean copies of your data. Our backup systems are isolated from your main network, making them much harder for attackers to compromise. This approach is far more reliable than paying ransoms and hoping criminals actually provide working decryption keys.
Most small businesses in Staunton spend $200-800 per month on comprehensive disaster recovery, depending on how much data they need to protect and how quickly they need to recover it. This includes automated backups, cloud storage, monitoring, and support. Compare that to the cost of losing several days of business operations—most companies lose more revenue in a single day of downtime than they’d spend on disaster recovery all year. We customize solutions based on your actual needs, not some generic package that doesn’t fit your business.
Yes, we serve businesses throughout Central Illinois, including surrounding communities like Mount Olive, Gillespie, and Carlinville. Our local presence means we can respond quickly to emergencies anywhere in the region. Remote monitoring and cloud-based backups work the same regardless of your exact location, but having technicians nearby makes a big difference when you need hands-on support during a crisis. We understand the unique challenges facing businesses in smaller Illinois communities and design our services accordingly.
