Backup & Disaster Recovery

Every business needs a backup — but most backups can't actually be restored when you need them. Smart Geeks builds tested, reliable recovery plans so you can bounce back from anything, fast.

Why Most Backups Fail When You Need Them

A backup is only worth what it can restore. We see it constantly — businesses with backup software running green checks, who discover during a crisis that their last successful restore was months ago, or that the backup was corrupted, or that the backup ran out of storage space and stopped three weeks ago. Here's what a real recovery plan looks like.

Server & Workstation Backup

Your physical and virtual servers, plus every workstation that matters, backed up automatically. Images and files, retention policies that match your compliance needs, and verified restore tests every month.

  • Full system image backups for servers
  • File and folder backup for workstations
  • Flexible retention: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
  • Backup verification and integrity checks
  • Bare-metal restore capability

Cloud Backup (Microsoft 365 & SaaS)

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace store your data — but they don't protect you from accidental deletion, ransomware, or insider threats. We add the backup layer that Microsoft and Google don't provide.

  • Microsoft 365 backup (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint)
  • Google Workspace backup (Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives)
  • Retention policies and legal hold
  • Point-in-time restore for any user or file
  • SaaS application backup (Salesforce, Dropbox, etc.)

Immutable Backup Copies

Ransomware encrypts everything — including your backups if they can be reached. Immutable backups are write-once, read-many — even if an attacker compromises your network, they cannot modify or delete your backup copies.

  • Write-once, WORM (write once, read many) storage
  • Air-gapped backup copies (offline/off-network)
  • Cloud-based immutable object storage
  • Ransomware resilience testing

Disaster Recovery Planning

A disaster recovery plan isn't a document — it's a tested playbook your team can execute when everything is on fire. We build your DR plan, test it quarterly, and update it as your environment changes.

  • Business impact analysis and RTO/RPO definition
  • Written DR plan with step-by-step runbooks
  • Quarterly DR simulation and testing
  • DR in a box — pre-staged recovery environment
  • Cloud disaster recovery (warm standby)

Rapid Restore & Business Continuity

When something goes wrong — a server fails, ransomware hits, an office burns down — every minute of downtime costs money. We design recovery environments so you can be back online in hours, not days.

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO) measured in hours
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO) as low as 15 minutes
  • Cloud-based disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)
  • Virtual workstation recovery
  • Priority restoration: business-critical systems first

Backup Reporting & Monitoring

You should never have to wonder whether your backups are working. We monitor every backup job, send monthly reports on backup status and storage usage, and investigate any failure within minutes.

  • Automated backup monitoring and alerting
  • Monthly written backup status reports
  • Storage capacity planning
  • Failed backup investigation and resolution

The Real Cost of Data Loss

60% of small businesses that lose data shut down within 6 months. Not because the data itself was irreplaceable — but because the downtime, recovery costs, and customer trust gap were too much to survive. The math is simple: a tested DR plan costs a fraction of what data loss actually costs.

01

Backup Audit

We review your current backup situation — what's being backed up, where it's stored, how long restores take, and what the gaps are. You get a written assessment with priorities.

02

Gap Closure

Critical gaps are fixed first. We deploy proper backup agents, configure immutable storage, and set up monitoring so you know immediately when something fails.

03

DR Plan & Testing

We document your DR plan and test it — for real, in a sandbox environment. When a real disaster happens, there's no guesswork. Your team knows exactly what to do.
