When your systems go down, every minute costs money. You’re losing sales, frustrating customers, and watching competitors serve the clients you can’t reach.

A solid disaster recovery plan changes everything. Instead of scrambling to figure out what’s broken and how to fix it, you follow a tested process that gets you operational fast. Your data is already backed up and ready to restore. Your team knows exactly what to do.

The businesses that bounce back quickly aren’t just lucky. They planned ahead. They tested their systems. They made sure their disaster recovery actually works before they needed it.

IT Disaster Recovery Crete

We've Seen Every Type of Failure

We’ve been protecting Crete area businesses for over two decades. We’ve helped companies recover from floods, fires, ransomware attacks, and simple hardware failures that could have shut them down for weeks.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in systems that work under pressure, support that answers when you call, and expertise that comes from actually doing this work for years.

Most disaster recovery fails because it’s never tested. We test everything regularly and show you the results.

Disaster Recovery Plan Process

Simple Process, Powerful Protection

First, we assess what you actually need to protect. Not everything requires the same level of backup, and understanding your priorities saves money and speeds recovery.

Next, we set up automated backups that run continuously. Your data gets copied to multiple locations – local drives for speed and cloud storage for security. We configure everything to minimize the impact on your daily operations.

Then we test it. Every month, we verify that your backups are working and your recovery procedures actually restore your systems. We document exactly how long each step takes and identify any potential problems before they matter.

When disaster strikes, you call us and we execute the plan. No guessing, no delays, no hoping everything works. Just methodical recovery that gets you back to serving customers.

Data Recovery Solutions Crete

Complete Protection, Clear Pricing

Your disaster recovery service includes continuous data backup, regular testing, and documented recovery procedures. We monitor your systems 24/7 and alert you to any backup failures before they become problems.

You get both local and cloud-based backups. Local copies restore faster for minor issues. Cloud backups protect against major disasters like fires or floods that could destroy your entire office.

We also provide staff training so your team knows what to do during an emergency. Everyone understands their role, who to call, and how to communicate with customers during recovery. This preparation often makes the difference between a minor interruption and a business-ending crisis.

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

Recovery time depends on how much data you need to restore and which backup method we use. For most small business systems, we can have you operational within 2-4 hours using local backups. Larger restorations from cloud storage typically take 4-8 hours. The key is having a tested plan that eliminates guesswork. We document exact recovery times for your specific systems during our monthly tests, so you know what to expect before you ever need it.
We protect against hardware failures, ransomware attacks, accidental deletions, fires, floods, power surges, and theft. Basically anything that could damage your computers or corrupt your data. Our backup systems store copies of your files in multiple locations, so even if your entire office is destroyed, your data survives. We’ve helped businesses recover from everything from simple hard drive crashes to complete office flooding during severe storms.
Every month, we perform test restores of your critical data to verify everything is backing up correctly. We don’t just check that backup jobs are running – we actually restore files and systems to make sure they work properly. You receive a report showing what we tested, how long it took, and any issues we found. This regular testing catches problems early and ensures your disaster recovery plan will work when you need it most.
Yes, if your backups are properly isolated from your network. Ransomware tries to encrypt backup files along with everything else, which is why we use air-gapped and immutable backup strategies. This means your backup copies are stored separately and can’t be modified by malicious software. When ransomware hits, we can restore your systems from clean backups instead of paying criminals. The key is having this protection set up before an attack occurs.
We provide 24/7 emergency response for disaster recovery situations. When you call our emergency line, you reach a real person who can immediately begin the recovery process. We don’t make you wait until Monday morning to get your business back online. Our monitoring systems also alert us automatically to many types of failures, so we often start working on solutions before you even know there’s a problem.
Cost depends on how much data you need to protect and how quickly you need to recover it. Most small businesses in Crete spend between $200-800 per month for comprehensive disaster recovery protection. This includes automated backups, regular testing, emergency support, and documented recovery procedures. Compare that to the cost of being shut down for even one day – most businesses lose more money in a single day of downtime than they’d spend on disaster recovery protection for an entire year.
