Backup & Disaster Recovery Services

Without the data there is no recovery!

All businesses depend on information, most of this information is digital and I know from my experience that when my system is down I literally freak out!

Discover why a tape backup or other backup process might not be adequate enough to fulfill your businesses requirements to return your data systems back to operation within a set amount of time. These parameters are know as Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective or RTO and RPO. With new technologies like vitalization we are happy to say that solutions are very affordable for small businesses that demand business continuity from their data systems.

As an asset owner you need to make yourself aware of this critical issue and make the necessary investments to protect your business. From our experiences your current solution does not meet your requirements and probably are not even working properly at all.

Take a look at this comparison chart and see how your backup and disaster recovery plan stacks up.

Consider these tough questions..

How much time can you afford to be down?

How much data can I afford to lose?

Review the 4 key points to a successful disaster recovery plan:

1. How automated is your process - does it require human intervention to manage and monitor this process? How disciplined are you in making sure tapes are rotated and backup jobs are completing successfully?

2. What is your retention on your data? In other words when data is deleted from the server at what point is it gone forever? (example: 5 tapes, rotated daily, overwritten weekly means your retention is 1 week)

3. How often are you taking your data offsite? (Consider theft, natural disasters or malicious intent threats)

4. When was this whole process last tested? Are you comfortable with the reliability and integrity of your backups?

What are your businesses objectives?
