Backup and disaster recovery
Lose a file, a drive or a whole server and the business keeps moving. We put backups on a schedule, keep a second copy of what matters, and write down how recovery actually happens.
The problems this solves
One copy, on one device
Data that lives only on a laptop, a single server or a drive on someone's desk disappears with the hardware. A second copy somewhere else is what turns a disaster into an inconvenience.
Backups nobody has tested
Jobs can fail quietly for months. Without test restores and alerts, you find out during the worst possible week that the last good copy is from last year.
No plan for who does what
Even with data safely stored, recovery stalls when nobody knows the order to restore, who to call, or how to reach customers in the meantime.
How we protect your data
- ＋Layered, scheduled backups
- ＋Replication of critical systems
- ＋Protection against accidental deletion
- ＋Retention options for longer history
- ＋Cold storage for records you rarely open
- ＋Recovery planning with named responsibilities
- ＋Test restores to prove the copies work
- ＋Review of what is and is not covered
Who it suits
- Businesses running their own servers, on site or colocated with us
- Offices with a single server and no spare hardware
- Companies that have lost data before and want it documented
- Teams preparing for an outage, move or equipment refresh
Where we work
Backups and recovery planning are managed from Massapequa, New York, with on-site work across Long Island, Nassau County and Suffolk County. For businesses elsewhere in the Northeast, the South and the West Coast, backups are monitored remotely and recovery is coordinated with your team.
Common questions
- What is the difference between a backup and replication?
- A backup is a stored copy you can go back to. Replication keeps a live duplicate of a running system so it can take over quickly. Most businesses want both: replication for short outages, backups for mistakes and history.
- How do we know a restore will actually work?
- By testing it. A backup that has never been restored is a guess. We schedule test restores and walk through the recovery plan with you, then correct anything that would have slowed you down in a real event.
- How often should backups run?
- It depends on how much data you can afford to lose and how fast it changes. During scoping we look at your systems and agree a schedule, then confirm it is running rather than assume it.
