What's Included With Backup & Disaster Recovery
A Plan, Not Just a Backup
Most West Palm Beach businesses have some kind of backup. Far fewer have a plan for what happens when they actually need it. Disaster recovery is the difference: knowing in advance which systems come back first, how long it takes and who does what.
We build that plan with you around two numbers:
- How much data you can afford to lose. An hour of work? A day? This sets how often backups run.
- How long you can be down. Minutes, hours or a couple of days. This sets how quickly systems must be restored and what kind of recovery is needed.
A dental office, a law firm on Clematis Street and a warehouse near the airport will each answer differently, and their plans should look different.
What the Plan Covers
- Backups of servers, key workstations and cloud data such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
- Copies kept off-site and separate from your network, so ransomware or a flooded office can’t reach every copy
- Monitoring of every backup job, with failures followed up by our team
- Regular test restores, so recovery is proven rather than assumed
- A written recovery runbook and a review before each hurricane season
Built for South Florida Realities
Storms, power outages and ransomware are the three events we plan for most. The goal is simple: when something goes wrong, you already know what happens next. See our backup and recovery service for how it fits into managed IT.
The Technical Side
For IT-minded readers:
- RPO and RTO: we agree how much data you can afford to lose (recovery point objective) and how quickly each system must return (recovery time objective), then design to those numbers
- 3-2-1 approach: at least three copies, on two types of storage, with one off-site, plus an immutable or offline copy
- Local and cloud: a local backup appliance for fast restores and cloud replication for site disasters
- Virtualization: image-level backups that can boot a failed server as a virtual machine while hardware is replaced
- SaaS backup: Microsoft 365 mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams
- Testing: scheduled restore tests and screenshot verification, with results reported in reviews

Backup and Disaster Recovery in West Palm Beach: Common Questions
How do you decide what kind of backup we need?
We start with two questions: how much data can you afford to lose, and how long can you be down? The answers set how often backups run, where copies are kept and how quickly systems need to come back. The plan, and the cost, follow from those choices.
Do you guarantee our data can be recovered?
No honest provider can promise that. What we do is design the strategy around your recovery goals, keep copies off-site and separate from your network, monitor every backup job and run test restores so problems are found before you need the data.
What happens to our backups during a hurricane?
Off-site copies are stored outside your office, so a closed or damaged building does not take your data with it. Before storm season we review the plan with you, including how your team keeps working if the office is unavailable.
Can you back up both our servers and Microsoft 365?
Yes. Servers, workstations where needed, and cloud data such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mail and files can all be covered in one plan.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and systems that get your business working again: which systems come back first, where people work and how long it takes. You need both.
How often should backups be tested?
Automated checks should run with every backup, and full restore tests should happen on a regular schedule, at least a few times a year and after major changes. We record the results so you can see them.
