Lakewood Business Continuity Experts

We've Recovered What Others Couldn't

CTS Computers has been protecting Lakewood businesses for over a decade. We’ve seen every type of data disaster you can imagine – and recovered from most of them.

We work with local manufacturers, medical practices, law firms, and retail businesses who need their systems running reliably. When other companies say your data is gone forever, we’re often the ones who prove them wrong.

Our team understands that disaster recovery isn’t just about technology. It’s about keeping your business alive when everything goes sideways. That’s why we focus on solutions that actually work when you need them most.

Disaster Recovery Plan Implementation

Simple Process, Powerful Protection

We start by analyzing your current systems and identifying 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 if it disappeared.

Next, we implement automated backup systems that run continuously in the background. Your data gets copied to secure cloud storage and local devices, creating multiple recovery points. You don’t need to remember to run backups or worry about whether they’re working.

We test your recovery systems regularly by actually restoring data and verifying everything works correctly. Many businesses discover their backups are corrupted or incomplete only when disaster strikes. We catch those problems before they matter.

When you do need to recover data, we handle the technical work while you focus on running your business. Most recoveries happen within hours, not days. You get back to normal operations while we handle the cleanup behind the scenes.

How long does it typically 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 – like a server crash or ransomware attack – we can have your critical systems back online within 4-8 hours. Complete restoration of all data usually takes 12-24 hours. If your hardware is completely destroyed, we can set up temporary systems within a few hours while permanent replacements are ordered. The key is having proper backups already in place before disaster strikes.
Our disaster recovery solutions protect against hardware failures, power outages, cyberattacks, ransomware, accidental file deletion, natural disasters, and human error. We create multiple backup copies stored in different locations, so even if your building floods or burns down, your data remains safe in cloud storage. The most common disasters we handle are actually server crashes and ransomware attacks, not natural disasters. Having automated backups running continuously means you’re protected against both dramatic events and everyday technical problems.
Most small businesses in Lakewood pay between $200-800 per month for comprehensive disaster recovery, depending on how much data needs protection and how quickly you need recovery capabilities. This includes automated backups, cloud storage, monitoring, testing, and emergency support. Compare that to the cost of losing weeks of business operations or years of customer data. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific needs rather than one-size-fits-all pricing, because every business has different requirements and risk tolerance levels.
Yes, we perform monthly recovery tests by actually restoring files and verifying they open correctly. Many businesses discover their backups are corrupted or incomplete only when disaster strikes. Our testing catches those problems while there’s still time to fix them. We document every test and provide you with reports showing exactly what was verified. If we find any issues during testing, we correct them immediately and retest until everything works properly. This proactive approach means you can trust your recovery systems when you actually need them.
In many cases, yes. We have specialized tools and techniques for recovering data from failed hard drives, corrupted databases, and even systems damaged by ransomware. Success depends on how the data was lost and how much time has passed since the incident. The sooner you contact us after data loss, the better your chances of recovery. However, data recovery from damaged systems is much more expensive and time-consuming than having proper backups in place. That’s why we always recommend implementing disaster recovery before you need it.
Your data remains safe because we store backup copies in secure cloud facilities located far from Lakewood. We can set up temporary systems at a new location within hours, giving you access to your files, email, and business applications while you arrange permanent replacements. We also maintain detailed documentation of your entire IT setup, including network configurations and software licenses, which speeds up the rebuilding process significantly. Many businesses are surprised to learn they can be operational again within a day or two, even after losing their entire physical office.
