The Gold Standard

The 3-2-1 Backup Strategy,
Done Right.

Most businesses think they have backups. Until they need one. We implement the proven 3-2-1 architecture — then test it monthly so you never find out the hard way.

3

Three Copies of Your Data

Your primary data plus two separate backup copies. If one copy is compromised by ransomware, hardware failure, or human error, two others remain untouched and ready to restore.

2

Two Different Storage Media

Copies stored on two distinct media types — such as local NAS and cloud object storage. No single failure mode takes down both simultaneously, eliminating the silent risk of single-vendor dependencies.

1

One Air-Gapped Offsite Copy

At least one copy lives completely offline and offsite — immutable, tamper-proof, and inaccessible to ransomware actors even if they have your credentials. This is your last line of defense, and it holds.

What We Protect

Complete Coverage.
Zero Blind Spots.

From endpoints to cloud SaaS to on-prem servers — every byte of your business data is covered and tested.

☁️

Cloud File & Server Backup

Automated, encrypted daily backups of all file servers, databases, and application data to geo-redundant cloud storage. Incremental forever — fast, lean, and infinitely scalable.

On-Premises Disaster Recovery

Local appliance-based backup with instant VM boot capability. When your server fails, we spin up a virtual version in minutes — not hours or days — keeping your operations running without interruption.

Microsoft 365 & SaaS Protection

Microsoft's 30-day retention is NOT a backup. We implement true third-party M365 backup covering Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — with granular restore down to a single email or file version.

Monthly Backup Testing & Validation

We perform actual restore tests every month — not just health checks. You receive screenshot proof of each successful restore, creating an audit trail for cyber-insurance compliance and peace of mind.

Disaster Recovery Planning

A documented DR plan defines exactly what happens when the worst occurs — who does what, in what order, and how fast. We build, test, and maintain your plan so it actually works when it counts.

Ransomware Recovery

Immutable backups that cannot be encrypted, deleted, or modified by ransomware — even if attackers have your admin credentials. When you need them most, they're exactly where you left them.

Recovery Process

From Incident to Operational
in Under 15 Minutes.

Our playbook runs on reflex, not reaction. Every step is pre-planned, tested, and ready to execute the moment you need it.

🚨
Step 01

Incident Detected

Automated monitoring alerts our team within seconds of a failure, ransomware event, or hardware fault — 24/7/365.

🔍
Step 02

Scope & Triage

We identify the clean restore point — the last known-good backup before the incident — and confirm its integrity.

⚡
Step 03

Instant VM Boot

Critical servers are spun up as virtual machines from local backup appliance while full restoration runs in parallel.

✅
Step 04

Verify & Resume

Full system validation, user access restoration, and incident documentation — you're back to business, not just online.

Real-World Recovery

This Is Why Tested Backups Win.

Case Study — Construction & Real Estate

Ransomware Hit. Back Online Same Day.

A Las Vegas construction firm was hit by a ransomware attack on a Friday afternoon. Every file server encrypted. Attackers demanded $85,000. Their previous IT provider had no recovery plan.

Because we had implemented immutable, air-gapped backups with monthly tested restores, we identified a clean restore point from 6 hours prior — before the encryption spread. Using our local appliance, we booted their critical server as a virtual machine while the full restore ran in parallel.

They paid nothing. They lost nothing. They were operational the same day.

Common Questions

Backup Questions,
Straight Answers.

RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you can afford to lose — measured in time. If your RPO is 4 hours, your backups run at least every 4 hours. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how fast you need to be back online. If your RTO is 15 minutes, your backup solution must restore operations within 15 minutes of a failure. We define both for your specific business before implementing anything.
An immutable backup cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted for a defined retention period — even by an administrator with full credentials. This is enforced at the storage layer using WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology. When ransomware compromises your environment and your admin account, immutable backups remain completely untouched because no software-level command can alter them.
No. Microsoft provides high availability and short-term retention (typically 30–93 days depending on the service), but this is not a backup. Deleted items beyond the retention window are gone permanently. Ransomware that deletes your OneDrive files will propagate the deletions to Microsoft's copies. Accidental overwrites, app corruption, and insider threats are not protected. You need a true third-party backup running in parallel with M365.
Cyber-insurance carriers increasingly require documented evidence of backup testing as a condition of coverage or premium discounts. Our monthly tested restores with screenshot proof create an audit trail that satisfies most carriers' backup hygiene requirements. Clients with documented backup testing programs typically qualify for better premiums and have significantly simpler claims processes after incidents.
Speed depends on what you're restoring and your infrastructure. For single files or emails: seconds to minutes. For a full server failure with a local appliance: 15 minutes to operational via virtual machine boot, with full restoration running in parallel. For a complete site disaster requiring cloud recovery: 1–4 hours depending on data volume and your internet connection. We define these targets for your environment before a crisis — not during one.
Yes. We frequently implement backup and disaster recovery as a standalone service for businesses whose current IT provider doesn't specialize in enterprise-grade DR. We can audit your existing backup setup, identify gaps, and implement a compliant 3-2-1 solution without disrupting your current IT relationships. A backup audit takes about two hours and costs nothing.
