Backup and disaster recovery
A backup is only useful if it can actually be restored. Many businesses find out their backup was incomplete, outdated or unreadable on the day they need it.
What it is
We set up backups that run automatically, keep more than one copy, get monitored, and get tested.
Problems this solves
- Nobody knows when the last successful backup ran
- Backups sit on a USB drive next to the server
- Ransomware or disk failure would mean losing accounting data
- Restoring a server has never been tried
- There is no plan for what happens if the office server is lost
What we provide
- Backup design with multiple copies, including off-site
- Server and VM backup, including Proxmox Backup Server
- NAS-to-NAS and NAS-to-cloud backup
- Backup job monitoring and failure alerts
- Periodic restore testing
- Restore assistance when something goes wrong
- A written, practical disaster recovery plan

A typical requirement
A trading business whose Tally data exists only on one server and an occasionally connected USB drive.
A company wanting a second copy of its virtual machines off-site.
Common questions
How often should we back up?
It depends on how much work you can afford to lose. For accounting data, daily at minimum. We set the schedule around your answer.
Do you test restores?
Yes. A backup is not considered working until a restore has been tested.
