Backups & recovery
Backups that are tested, not assumed.
When a machine dies or ransomware hits, 'restore from backup' should be a plan - not a prayer. We make sure your data is actually recoverable, and that recovery is rehearsed.
Why it matters
'We had backups' is the most expensive sentence
Most backups go untested until the day they're needed. That's when people learn the backup was partial, the encryption keys were on the same server, or the restore takes three weeks. By then it's too late to fix.
What's included
- Offsite and immutable backup strategy
- Backups that run - and a record that they did
- Regular restore tests, documented
- Ransomware-safe, off-network backup copies
- Business continuity and recovery-time planning
- A recovery runbook your team can follow
How we work
A deliberate, documented process.
Audit
We find what's actually protected, what isn't, and what you'd be able to get back if you needed it today.
Engineer
We set up backups that run automatically, copy offsite, and can't be encrypted with the server they protect.
Rehearse
We test restores on a schedule and document the results. You'll know your recovery time - not hope for it.
Straight answers
The questions people ask before they call.
Don't we already back up?
Maybe. But 'the server backs up' and 'we could fully recover by tomorrow morning' are different things. We verify the second one, on a schedule.
How fast can we be back up?
That depends on your tolerance - we design the target (hours vs. days) deliberately with you, then engineer and test to hit it.
Is a test restore worth the effort?
It's the only way to know it works. A single documented test restore that succeeds is worth more than five years of untested backups.
Also part of your IT
Network management
We design, monitor, and maintain your network and systems so they stay up - patched, backed up, and running. When something degrades, we see it before you do.
Security & ransomware defense
Firewalls, endpoint protection, email filtering, and the hardening examiners actually look for. We defend you in the background so ransomware and breaches stay headlines that happen elsewhere.
Helpdesk with a voice
Problems get resolved fast, in language a non-technical person can use. A named team answers the phone, so an issue is a moment in your day - not a black hole.
Start here
Get a network assessment.
We audit your network, security, backups, and compliance posture - and tell you, in plain terms, what's genuinely at risk. No obligation, no jargon, no scare tactics. If you're fine, we'll tell you you're fine.
