IT Disaster Recovery Solutions

Back Online in Hours, Not Days

Your business runs on data. Customer records, financial information, project files – when any of it disappears, everything stops. You’re not just losing files; you’re losing money, credibility, and sleep.

Proper disaster recovery means you’re back to serving customers while your competitors are still figuring out what happened. Your team stays productive. Your customers stay confident. Your revenue keeps flowing.

The difference between a minor hiccup and a business-ending catastrophe often comes down to one thing: having a plan that actually works when you need it most.

Business Continuity Planning Process

Simple Process, Serious Protection

First, we evaluate what you actually need protected and how fast you need it back. Not every file requires the same level of protection, and understanding your priorities keeps costs reasonable while ensuring critical systems get premium treatment.

Next, we set up automated backup systems that work in the background. Your data gets copied to secure, off-site locations without slowing down your daily operations. Cloud-based solutions mean your information stays accessible even if your building becomes inaccessible.

When disaster strikes, recovery follows a tested plan specific to your business. Critical systems come online first, followed by supporting applications. You know exactly what to expect and how long each step takes because everything gets tested regularly before you need it.

Data Recovery Solutions Included

Complete Protection, Not Just Backup

Disaster recovery goes beyond simple file backup. You get comprehensive business continuity planning that covers hardware failures, software corruption, cyber attacks, and natural disasters. Each scenario requires different response strategies.

Cloud disaster recovery provides immediate access to your systems from any location. If your office becomes unusable, your team can continue working remotely while permanent repairs happen. This flexibility proved invaluable for many local businesses during recent weather events and infrastructure issues.

Regular testing ensures everything works when pressure hits. Monthly backup verification, quarterly recovery drills, and annual plan reviews keep your protection current as your business evolves. You discover problems during routine testing, not during actual emergencies.

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

Recovery time depends on your specific plan and the type of failure, but most businesses are back online within 2-4 hours for critical systems. Complete restoration typically happens within 24 hours. The key is having the right infrastructure in place before you need it. Cloud-based solutions offer the fastest recovery because your data and applications are already running in a separate environment. During the initial planning process, we establish specific recovery time objectives based on your business requirements and budget.
Backup copies your files to another location. Disaster recovery gets your entire business running again. Think of backup as having spare parts in storage, while disaster recovery is having a complete replacement car ready to drive. Disaster recovery includes backup, but also covers applications, operating systems, network configurations, and user access. It’s a comprehensive plan that addresses different failure scenarios, from simple hard drive crashes to complete facility loss. Most businesses need both, but disaster recovery provides the complete protection that keeps operations running.
Costs vary based on how much data you need protected and how quickly you need it back. Basic plans start around $200-300 per month for small businesses, while comprehensive enterprise-level protection runs higher. The real question is what downtime costs your business. If losing access to your systems for a day costs thousands in lost revenue, spending a few hundred monthly on protection makes financial sense. During our consultation, we calculate specific costs based on your actual needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Yes, testing happens in isolated environments that don’t affect your daily operations. Quarterly tests verify that backups are working and recovery procedures function as planned. These tests often reveal small issues that we fix before they become real problems. You’ll receive detailed reports showing exactly what was tested and any recommendations for improvements. Some businesses choose to participate in the testing process to ensure their team knows what to expect during an actual emergency, but it’s not required for the testing to be effective.
Comprehensive disaster recovery plans include multiple connectivity options. Cellular backup connections, satellite links, or temporary relocation to sites with working internet keep critical operations running. The specific solution depends on your business requirements and budget. For many businesses, having key personnel able to work from alternate locations with internet access provides sufficient continuity. The disaster recovery plan identifies which functions absolutely require immediate connectivity versus what can wait for primary internet restoration.
Disaster recovery includes isolated backup copies that ransomware can’t reach. Even if attackers encrypt your primary systems, clean copies of your data remain safe in disconnected storage. Recovery involves restoring from these protected backups rather than paying ransoms. Additional security measures include regular security updates, email filtering, and employee training to prevent attacks from succeeding initially. The combination of prevention and recovery capabilities provides comprehensive protection against cyber threats that are becoming increasingly common for businesses of all sizes.
