Engineering Design Data Backup — CMIT Solutions of Dallas

1. What makes engineering backups different from typical office backups?

CAD/BIM files are huge, change often, and live in PDM/PLM vaults. We use high-throughput capture, version-aware backups, and smart scheduling to avoid interrupting designers.

2. How do you back up PDM/PLM repositories (Vault, SOLIDWORKS PDM, etc.)?

Application-consistent jobs capture both the database and file store with quiescing, then verify integrity to keep revisions, lifecycles, and metadata recoverable.

3. Do you support fast RPO/RTO for critical projects?

Yes—hourly (or tighter) snapshots for low RPO and warm standby/instant recovery for low RTO so project teams get back to work in minutes, not days.

4. How do you protect against ransomware?

Immutable, air-gapped copies; MFA on consoles; least-privilege access; and malware-scanned backups ensure clean restores without paying ransom.

5. Can backups run without slowing down render or simulation jobs?

We throttle jobs, use changed-block tracking, and schedule heavy transfers after hours so HPC/render queues keep full performance.

6. What about distributed teams and branch offices?

Edge appliances de-duplicate and cache locally, then replicate to the cloud/DR site. SD-WAN and QoS keep uploads from impacting calls and collaboration.

7. How long do you retain versions and archives?

Policy-driven retention with short-term versions for active projects, mid-term archives for warranties, and low-cost cold storage for long-tail IP.

8. Do you verify backups actually restore?

Yes—monthly test restores for sample assemblies and quarterly full PDM/Vault drills with documented results for audit and insurance.

9. Can this support ITAR/CMMC or SOC 2 requirements?

We align storage locations, encryption, access logging, and chain-of-custody with your compliance scope and provide evidence packs for audits.

10. How do we get started?

Schedule a discovery call with CMIT Solutions of Dallas. We’ll assess file sizes, vaults, sites, and recovery objectives, then deliver a tailored backup & DR plan.
