Is Your Business Actually Protected – or Just Backed Up?

Most businesses across the Roanoke and New River Valleys have some form of backup running. What they don’t have is proof it works. Reliable business IT support includes tested restores, not just scheduled backups — because an assumption that fails at the worst possible moment isn’t a recovery plan:

Untested Backups: No one has run a restore. When ransomware hits, or a server fails, the first restore attempt shouldn’t be the real one.
Ransomware or Phishing Hit: An attack has already reached the network — and without an air-gapped, immutable backup, paying the ransom may be the only option left.
Cyber Insurance Pressure: Your insurer requires documented proof of backups, tested restores, and a disaster recovery plan before they’ll bind or renew your policy.
Cloud Migration Risk: Moving to M365, Azure, or AWS doesn’t mean your data is backed up — cloud platforms have limited retention that most businesses mistake for a backup.
Coverage Gaps: No one has mapped which systems, servers, and cloud data are actually in the backup scope — and what’s been left out.

The Real Cost of Data Recovery Services Done Too Late

Most businesses discover their backup gaps during a disaster. Downtime Risk Mitigation starts before the incident — with tested restores, documented recovery plans, and a backup environment verified to work under real conditions.

Feature	Unmanaged Backup	CMIT Managed Backup & Recovery
Restore Testing	Never tested; assumed to work	Regularly tested on a documented schedule
Ransomware Protection	Vulnerable to encryption	Air-gapped, immutable copies
Recovery Speed	Unknown; days of downtime	Defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) per system
Coverage	Partial; critical systems often missed	Full environment — servers, endpoints, cloud data
Compliance	No documented proof for insurers	Audit-ready evidence for cyber insurance and HIPAA

An untested backup is just a hope — we run real restore tests so your data is actually recoverable when it matters.

Our 3-Step Framework for Data Backup & Recovery in the Roanoke Valley

We don’t just schedule a backup and hope it runs — we build a recovery environment that’s been tested, documented, and sized to get your business back online in minutes, not days.

Step 1:

Assess & Design

We start with a free Backup & Recovery Assessment — mapping every system, server, and cloud application that needs protection, identifying gaps in your current backup scope, and defining your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) before a single agent is deployed.

Step 2:

Deploy & Protect

We deploy Datto BCDR with image-based backups across your servers, endpoints, and cloud data. Encrypted Data Backups are held on-site and in Datto’s secure cloud — air-gapped and immutable so ransomware can’t reach them. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace get their own dedicated backup layer — because cloud platform retention is not the same as a recoverable backup.

Step 3:

Test & Maintain

Backups are worthless without verified restores. Our Disaster Recovery Services include scheduled restore tests, documented results, and quarterly reviews — so recovery is a rehearsed process, not a first attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Backup & Recovery in the Roanoke Valley

What happens to our data if there’s a disaster — are we really backed up?

We run managed, automated backups held on-site for fast recovery and in the cloud for off-site protection — and we routinely test our restores. If ransomware, hardware failure, or accidental deletion hits, we recover your data quickly rather than hoping the backup worked.

How fast can you get us back up and running?

Recovery is built around your defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective — so we know in advance how quickly each system needs to be operational. Individual files restore in minutes; full systems recover on a documented timeline your team agrees to up front.

Isn’t Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace already backing up our data?

Built-in M365 and Workspace retention is limited and not a true backup. If a mailbox or file is deleted, corrupted, or hit by ransomware after the retention window closes, it can be gone permanently. We add a dedicated, independent backup so your email and files are genuinely recoverable.

How much does backup and disaster recovery cost and what’s included?

Backup and recovery is a flat monthly fee scoped to your data volume — no surprise invoices. It covers managed on-site and cloud backups, monitoring, regular restore testing, and a documented disaster recovery plan. You get a clear all-in quote up front so protection stays a predictable line in your budget.

How will you protect our backups from ransomware?

Backups are encrypted, stored in multiple locations, and protected with immutable or isolated copies so ransomware can’t encrypt or delete them. Combined with EDR, MFA, and 24/7 monitoring, even if ransomware gets in, you have a clean copy to recover from quickly.
