Backup & Disaster Recovery

Find out your backups work before you need them.

Having backups and being able to recover are two different things. We design backup and disaster recovery around how long you can afford to be down — and we make sure restores get tested.

Who it’s for

Any business that would struggle to operate for a week without its files, email or line-of-business applications — which is nearly every business.

What’s included

  • Backup as a service (BaaS)
  • Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup
  • Immutable and offsite copies
  • Recovery testing

Problems we solve

01

Backups nobody has tested

Many businesses discover their backups are incomplete or corrupt only when they try to restore.

02

Ransomware targets backups first

Attackers look for backup systems and delete or encrypt them before launching the main attack.

03

Assuming Microsoft 365 backs itself up

Microsoft keeps the service running, but recovering deleted or encrypted data over the long term is your responsibility.

FAQ

Backup & DR questions

Have a question that isn’t here? .

What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup keeps copies of your data. Disaster recovery gets your systems running again — often in the cloud — within a set time.

Does Microsoft back up our 365 data?

Microsoft protects its infrastructure and offers limited retention, but it isn’t a full backup. A third-party backup protects against deletion, ransomware and departing employees.

What does immutable mean?

The backup copy can’t be changed or deleted for a set period, even by an administrator — so ransomware can’t wipe it out.

How often should we test restores?

At least quarterly for critical systems, plus after any major change. We help set up tests that prove recovery, not just that a backup job finished.
