Backup & Disaster Recovery

Protect your data wherever it lives—virtual machines, SaaS applications, cloud workloads, and endpoints. Recover quickly when things go wrong.

The Problem

Data loss happens. Hardware fails. Ransomware encrypts files. Employees accidentally delete critical documents. SaaS providers experience outages—and their retention policies aren't backups.

When data is gone, businesses stop. Every hour of downtime costs money, damages reputation, and erodes customer trust. For regulated industries, data loss can mean compliance failures and legal consequences.

The challenge isn't just backing up data—it's protecting data wherever it lives (on-premises, in the cloud, on laptops, in SaaS apps) and recovering it quickly enough to keep the business running.

Common Triggers

Ransomware attack encrypts production systems and connected backups

Hardware failure takes critical systems offline with no recovery path

SaaS data deleted beyond native retention—Microsoft won't restore it

Remote worker laptop lost or stolen with months of unprotected work

Compliance audit reveals backup gaps for regulated data

Why This Matters to the Business

Backup and disaster recovery isn't an IT project—it's business continuity insurance.

Downtime Costs Money

Every hour of system unavailability has a direct cost. For critical systems, that cost can be thousands of dollars per hour in lost productivity and revenue.

Ransomware is Inevitable

It's not if, but when. Organisations with tested, immutable backups recover in hours. Those without pay ransoms or rebuild from scratch.

Recovery Speed Matters

A backup that takes days to restore isn't much better than no backup. Modern DR solutions enable recovery in minutes, not days.
