Backup & DR

Backups that
actually restore.

Most backup setups fail at restore time. We use image-based backups with verified recovery tests, immutable storage, and clear recovery time objectives so you know what you're getting before something goes wrong.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Image-based

Whole machine, not just files.

Full disk images of every server and critical workstation. Recover an entire machine in minutes, not days of rebuilding.

Immutable

Ransomware-proof copies.

Backup tier the attackers cannot encrypt even if they get domain admin. Air-gapped, immutable, retention-locked.

Verified

Restore tests every month.

Backups that exist mean nothing. We boot test restores monthly so the backup you need next week is the backup that actually works.

RTO/RPO

Numbers on paper.

Recovery time objective and recovery point objective in writing for every system. So insurers, auditors, and the CFO can see them.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Assess.

Catalog every machine, share, database, and SaaS tenant. Document what would hurt to lose and how fast you need it back.

Step 02

Design.

Build the backup tier set: local fast-restore, cloud secondary, immutable retention. Sized to your tolerance, not ours.

Step 03

Deploy.

Roll out and validate. First successful restore test happens during onboarding.

Step 04

Verify.

Monthly automated restore tests. Quarterly full DR exercise. Annual tabletop with leadership.
