Everyone has backups until the day they need them. The ones that fail are the ones nobody ever tested — the drive that quietly stopped copying months ago, or the backup sitting on the same machine that just got encrypted.
We set up automated backups, keep a copy off-site, and — the part most people skip — actually test that we can restore from them.
What's included
A backup and recovery setup from netkraft covers:
- Automated backups of the data and systems that matter
- An off-site or cloud copy so one incident can't take out everything
- Test restores, so "we have backups" actually means something
- A written recovery plan — what gets restored first, and how long it takes
How we approach it
We follow the tried-and-true principle of keeping multiple copies, with at least one off-site, and we don't consider a backup real until we've restored from it.
We'll also be honest with you about how quickly you could realistically be back up — so if disaster strikes, there are no surprises about what "recovered" looks like.
Who it's for
Any business that would struggle to reopen if it lost its files — which is nearly all of them — and anyone who isn't sure whether their current backups actually work.
Common questions
- How often are backups taken?
- That depends on how much work you can afford to lose. For most businesses we set daily backups at minimum, and more frequent for critical systems. We'll size it to your needs.
- Do you actually test that the backups work?
- Yes — test restores are the whole point. An untested backup is just a hope. We verify we can bring your data back before you ever need us to.
- Does this protect against ransomware?
- Good backups are one of the strongest defenses against ransomware, which is why we keep an off-site copy separated from your main systems. It pairs well with our security assessment.
