What Recovery Actually Looks Like

When your server crashes at 2 PM on a Tuesday, you’re not scrambling to figure out what data you lost or how long you’ll be down. Your systems are back online within hours, not days or weeks.

Your team keeps working. Your customers stay served. Your revenue keeps flowing.

That’s what proper disaster recovery does – it turns potential business disasters into minor inconveniences. You get automated backups running in the background, tested recovery procedures that actually work, and local support that picks up the phone when you need it most.

IT Disaster Recovery Munster

We've Seen What Happens Without Planning

CTS Computers has been keeping Northwest Indiana businesses operational for years. We’ve walked into offices after floods, power outages, and system failures – and we’ve seen the difference between companies that planned ahead and those that didn’t.

The businesses that recover quickly have one thing in common: they set up their disaster recovery before they needed it. We help Munster area companies build those systems, test them regularly, and keep them updated as technology changes.

Data Recovery Solutions Process

How We Build Your Safety Net

First, we assess what you’re currently doing for backups and where the gaps are. Most businesses think they’re covered until we show them what they’re actually missing.

Next, we design a disaster recovery plan that fits your budget and recovery time needs. This includes automated daily backups, cloud storage for off-site protection, and documented procedures for getting you back online quickly.

Then we test everything. Monthly backup verification, quarterly recovery tests, and annual plan reviews ensure your system works when you need it. You’ll know exactly how long recovery takes and what to expect during an emergency.

Backup and Recovery Services

What's Included in Your Protection

Your disaster recovery service includes automated daily backups of all critical business data, secure cloud storage with multiple recovery points, and 24/7 system monitoring that catches problems before they become disasters.

You also get documented recovery procedures specific to your business, regular testing to verify everything works, and priority support when emergencies happen. We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on running your business.

For Munster businesses dealing with seasonal weather challenges and aging infrastructure, we include environmental monitoring and redundant backup locations to protect against both digital and physical threats to your data.

How long does it take to recover data after a system failure?

Recovery time depends on how much data needs to be restored and your current backup setup. With our managed disaster recovery services, most small businesses are back online within 2-4 hours for critical systems. Complete restoration typically takes 4-8 hours depending on data volume. We prioritize getting your most important applications running first, then restore everything else in the background. Without proper planning, recovery can take days or weeks – if it’s possible at all.

What types of disasters does your recovery plan protect against?

Our disaster recovery plans protect against hardware failures, cyberattacks, accidental deletions, natural disasters, power outages, and human error. We use multiple backup locations including secure cloud storage, so your data stays safe even if your building floods or burns down. The plan also covers software corruption, server crashes, and ransomware attacks. Basically, if something can take your systems offline or damage your data, we’ve planned for it and can get you recovered.

How often should backup systems be tested to ensure they work?

We test backup systems monthly with automated verification checks and perform full recovery tests quarterly. Annual disaster recovery drills simulate real emergency scenarios to identify any gaps in the process. Many businesses discover their backups don’t work only when they need them most. Regular testing catches problems early and ensures your recovery time estimates are accurate. We document all test results and update procedures based on what we learn during testing.

What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery services?

Backup copies your data for protection, but disaster recovery gets your entire business back online after a failure. Backup is just one piece of disaster recovery. A complete disaster recovery plan includes data backups, system restoration procedures, alternative work locations, communication plans, and priority lists for what gets restored first. You might have backups but still be down for days without proper recovery procedures. Our disaster recovery services combine reliable backups with tested restoration processes and ongoing support.

How much does professional disaster recovery service cost for small businesses?

Disaster recovery costs vary based on how much data you need protected, how quickly you need to recover, and what systems are critical to your operations. Most small businesses in Munster spend between $200-800 monthly for comprehensive disaster recovery services. This includes automated backups, cloud storage, monitoring, testing, and emergency support. Compare that to the cost of being down for even one day – most businesses lose more in a single day of downtime than they’d spend on protection all year.

Can you help create a disaster recovery plan for our existing systems?

Yes, we work with your current technology setup to build a disaster recovery plan that makes sense for your business. We’ll assess what you have now, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend improvements that fit your budget. This might mean upgrading your backup software, adding cloud storage, or documenting recovery procedures for your existing systems. We can implement changes gradually so you’re not disrupting daily operations while building better protection for the future.
