What Is Disaster Recovery & Backups?
Disaster Recovery (DR) ensures your business can restore critical systems and data after incidents like ransomware, hardware failure, human error, or natural disasters. We design backup and recovery architectures with clear objectives (RTO/RPO), verified restore procedures, and ongoing tests—so recovery is predictable, auditable, and fast.
Outcomes You Can Expect
- Confident Restores: Routine, documented recovery tests that actually work when you need them.
- Lower Downtime: RTO/RPO aligned to each workload’s business impact, not guesswork.
- Ransomware Resilience: Immutable/offline copies and clean-room restores to avoid reinfection.
- Compliance Evidence: Backup & DR controls mapped to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC2 expectations.
RTO & RPO—The Targets That Matter
- RTO (Recovery Time Objective): Maximum acceptable downtime for a system or app.
- RPO (Recovery Point Objective): Maximum acceptable data loss measured in time.
We right-size your backup frequency, replication, and storage tiers so RTO/RPO targets are realistic and affordable.
How We Build Your DR Plan
- Assess & Classify: Inventory workloads, dependencies, and business criticality.
- Design & Tiers: Choose retention, immutability, and replication (local + offsite + cloud).
- Harden & Isolate: MFA on consoles, separate credentials, air-gap/offline copies.
- Document & Automate: Runbooks for backup & restore, plus scheduled validation jobs.
- Test & Improve: Quarterly restore drills; adjust for new apps, growth, and threats.
The 3-2-1-1-0 Backup Rule
- 3 copies of your data
- 2 different media or storage types
- 1 offsite copy (separate account/region)
- 1 offline/immutable copy
- 0 errors after backup verification & test restores
Coverage Options

Safeguard DBsTransparent, Right-Sized Pricing
We price by protected capacity, retention, and recovery targets. Small environments often start in the low four figures; mid-market solutions scale with storage, replication, and testing cadence.
FAQ
How often should we test restores?
At least quarterly for critical systems and whenever apps or infrastructure change significantly.
Can you help after a ransomware event?
Yes. We support clean-room restores with malware scanning and credential rotation to prevent reinfection.
Do you support on-site visits?
Yes—local on-site in Southeast Georgia and travel anywhere in the USA. Fully remote delivery is also available.
