Disaster Recovery Process

Simple Setup, Reliable Protection

First, we assess your current systems and identify what data is critical to your operations. Every business is different, so your backup strategy should be too. We map out exactly what needs protection and how quickly you need it back.

Next, we set up automated backup systems that work in the background. Your data gets copied to secure cloud storage regularly, without slowing down your daily work. We monitor these backups constantly to make sure they’re working properly.

When disaster strikes, we activate your recovery plan immediately. Depending on what happened, we can restore your data to new hardware, get you working from temporary systems, or have you back up and running on your existing setup. The whole process is designed to get you operational as fast as possible.

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. For most small business situations, we can have you back online within 2-4 hours. Larger data sets might take 6-12 hours. The key is having systems in place that let us start recovery immediately instead of scrambling to figure out what to do. That’s why we test your recovery plan regularly and keep everything ready to go. If your server crashes on a Tuesday morning, you’re not waiting until Friday to get back to work.
Backup is just copying your files somewhere safe. Disaster recovery is having a complete plan to get your entire business running again after something goes wrong. A backup might save your data, but disaster recovery gets your phones working, your software running, and your team productive again. It includes backup systems, but also replacement hardware plans, temporary network setups, and step-by-step procedures for different emergency scenarios. Think of backup as saving your stuff, and disaster recovery as getting your business back to normal as quickly as possible.
Most small businesses should run backups at least once daily, typically overnight when systems aren’t busy. But if you process a lot of transactions or create important documents throughout the day, you might want backups every few hours. The rule is simple: how much work can you afford to lose? If losing a full day’s work would hurt, daily backups work fine. If losing even a few hours of data would be a problem, you need more frequent backups. We help you figure out the right schedule based on how your business actually operates.
Yes, if you have proper backups in place before the attack happens. Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment to unlock them. With good disaster recovery systems, we can restore your data from clean backups instead of paying criminals. The key is having backups that aren’t connected to your main network, so ransomware can’t encrypt those too. We also keep multiple backup versions, so even if an attack goes unnoticed for a few days, we can restore from earlier clean copies. This is exactly why businesses need professional disaster recovery planning, not just basic file copying.
We use redundant backup systems, which means your data gets copied to multiple locations using different methods. If one backup system has problems, others keep working. We also monitor all backup systems 24/7, so we know immediately if something isn’t working properly. Plus, we test actual data recovery regularly, not just assume backups are good because they’re running. Most backup failures happen because nobody checks if the backups actually work until it’s too late. Our monitoring and testing catch problems before they become emergencies.
Disaster recovery costs vary based on how much data you need protected and how quickly you need it back. Most small businesses spend between $200-800 per month for comprehensive protection. That might sound like a lot until you consider that even one day of downtime typically costs more than a year of disaster recovery services. We design plans that fit your budget while protecting what matters most to your business. The real question isn’t what disaster recovery costs, but what you’d lose if your data disappeared tomorrow and you had no way to get it back.
