Services / Backup & disaster recovery

Backup & disaster recovery

A backup that's never been restored isn't a backup, it's a guess. We set up automated on-site and off-site backups and, just as importantly, test the restore path, so if a disk fails or a deploy goes wrong, recovery is a documented procedure, not a scramble.

What's included

  • Automated on-site and off-site backups
  • Retention policy designed around your compliance and risk needs
  • Documented, written recovery runbooks
  • Scheduled restore testing, not just scheduled backups
  • RTO/RPO planning sized to your business
RATES
$115–$150 / hour

Standard remote and on-site support in Calgary. Fixed-scope project quotes available on request.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from just scheduling a backup cron job?

We test the restore path on a schedule. A backup that's never been restored isn't verified, it's a guess, and that's the gap most DIY setups have.

On-site, off-site, or both?

Both, by default. On-site for fast recovery, off-site so a site-level incident doesn't take out your only copy.

How do you decide retention and recovery targets?

Based on your compliance needs and how much data loss or downtime your business can actually tolerate (RPO/RTO), not a generic default.
