Business Continuity Planning Lafayette

Get Back to Business, Not Starting Over

You know that sick feeling when you realize your business data might be gone forever. The spreadsheets, customer files, financial records—everything that keeps your doors open. That’s exactly what disaster recovery planning prevents.

When your systems are properly backed up and your recovery plan is tested, you’re not starting from scratch after a fire, flood, or cyberattack. You’re back online in hours, not weeks. Your customers still trust you because their information stayed safe. Your employees can keep working instead of wondering if they still have jobs.

The difference between businesses that survive disasters and those that don’t isn’t luck. It’s having a plan that actually works when everything else fails.

We’ve been protecting Lafayette area businesses from data disasters for years. When your server crashes at 2 AM or ransomware locks up your files, you need someone who answers the phone and knows exactly what to do.

That’s why we focus on disaster recovery solutions that actually work under pressure, not just on paper.

Data Recovery Solutions Process

Simple Process, Serious Protection

First, we assess your current backup situation and identify what’s actually at risk. Most businesses discover they’re not backing up everything they think they are. We map out your critical systems, data, and applications to understand what needs protection.

Next, we design a disaster recovery plan that fits your business and budget. This includes automated backups, cloud storage, and clear recovery procedures. We set up monitoring so you know your backups are working, and we establish recovery time goals that make sense for your operation.

Finally, we test everything regularly. A backup plan that’s never been tested is just a hope, not a plan. We run recovery drills to make sure your data can actually be restored when you need it most.

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 individual files or small amounts of data, recovery typically takes 1-4 hours. Complete system recovery usually takes 4-24 hours depending on your data volume and internet speed. We establish specific recovery time objectives for your business during the planning phase, so you know exactly what to expect. The key is having multiple backup locations—local backups restore faster, while cloud backups provide protection against local disasters like fires or floods.
Backup is copying your data to another location for safekeeping. Disaster recovery is the complete plan and process for getting your entire business back online after a major incident. Think of backup as having spare parts, while disaster recovery is the instruction manual for rebuilding the whole machine. A good disaster recovery plan includes multiple backup methods, documented procedures, tested recovery processes, and clear priorities for what gets restored first. Many businesses have backups but no real plan for using them effectively during an emergency.
We recommend testing critical data recovery at least quarterly, with a full disaster recovery simulation annually. Testing reveals problems before they become emergencies—like corrupted backup files, outdated procedures, or missing data. During tests, we verify that backups are complete, restoration procedures work correctly, and recovery times meet your business needs. We also test different disaster scenarios, from simple hardware failure to complete site loss. Regular testing is the only way to know your disaster recovery plan will actually work when you need it most.
Yes, if you have proper backup systems in place before the attack occurs. Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment for the decryption key, but it can’t touch properly isolated backup copies. The key is having backups that aren’t connected to your network where ransomware can reach them. We use a combination of local and cloud backups with versioning, so even if ransomware encrypts recent backup copies, we can restore from earlier clean versions. However, prevention is always better—we also help implement security measures to reduce ransomware risk.
This is exactly why we use multiple backup methods instead of relying solely on cloud storage. Local backup devices can restore your data without any internet connection, getting you operational even during extended outages. For businesses that need internet access to function, we can help plan alternative connectivity options like mobile hotspots or temporary internet services. Cloud backups are essential for protecting against local disasters, but local backups ensure you can recover quickly regardless of internet availability. The best disaster recovery plans never depend on just one method.
Disaster recovery costs vary based on how much data you need protected, how quickly you need it restored, and what level of redundancy you want. Most Lafayette businesses spend between $200-800 monthly for comprehensive protection, which is typically less than one day of downtime would cost them. We design solutions that fit your budget while providing meaningful protection. The real question isn’t what disaster recovery costs—it’s what losing your business data would cost. We’ll assess your specific needs and provide transparent pricing with no surprises or hidden fees.
