Common questions about Backup and Disaster Recovery.
How often are backups taken?
Servers are typically snapshotted every 60 minutes during business hours and every 4 hours overnight. Workstations and Microsoft 365 mailboxes are backed up three times per day. We tune the cadence to your recovery point objective.
Where is the backup data stored?
Local copies are kept on a dedicated backup appliance at your site for fast restore. Offsite copies replicate to Canadian data centres. We never store production backup data outside Canada unless you explicitly request a US region.
How fast can you restore after a disaster?
Small file or mailbox restores take minutes. Full server restores from local copies usually run 1 to 4 hours. If the site is lost entirely, we can spin up cloud replicas for critical workloads within a few hours, while shipping a recovery appliance to the new location.
Do you protect against ransomware specifically?
Yes. Backups are stored with immutable retention so they cannot be modified or deleted, even by an admin account. Combined with endpoint detection and isolated recovery environments, you can refuse to pay a ransom and still be back in business within a day.
Do you back up Microsoft 365 separately?
Yes. Microsoft does not back up your data the way most people assume. We run independent third party backups of Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams chats, retained for years and recoverable item by item.
