Backup & disaster recovery that actually works

Founders' Summary

Most small businesses only find out their backup doesn't work when they actually need it. By then it's too late. We set up, manage, and quarterly-test your backups with Acronis, so a ransomware hit, a dead hard drive, or a flooded office doesn't end your week. You're back online the same day.

What changes for you

01

Survive Ransomware

If ransomware hits, you don't pay. You restore from immutable backups and keep operating - usually the same day, with no data loss.

How

Acronis Cyber Protect with immutable storage, AI-driven malware scanning, and forensic restore points.

02

Tested, Not Theoretical

We run a quarterly fire drill - simulating a full server loss and timing the restore. You know your recovery actually works before disaster strikes.

How

Scheduled DR test restores with documented Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and signed-off recovery logs.

03

Cyber Insurance Ready

Meet the strict backup requirements of modern cyber-insurance policies. Often that lowers your premium. And it makes claims far easier if you ever need to file one.

How

Documented backup architecture, immutability proof, and audit logs aligned with insurer requirements.

Why 'we have a backup' usually isn't enough

In plain English
What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a kind of malware that encrypts your files and demands payment to release them. Without a proper backup, you either pay the criminals or lose your data for good.

Most small businesses think they have a backup because their files sync to OneDrive or Google Drive. They don't. Sync is not backup. If ransomware encrypts your files, the encryption syncs to the cloud and you've now lost both copies.

A real backup is separate from your live system, immutable (so ransomware can't touch it), and tested regularly. Most importantly, it can actually be restored - quickly - when you need it.

How Acronis Cyber Protect works

In plain English
What is Air-Gapped?

An air-gapped backup is one that isn't connected to your live network. Even if a hacker gets full control of your office, they can't touch the backup because there's no path between them.

Acronis takes complete copies of your servers, devices, and Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace data - multiple times a day, automatically.

Those copies are stored in immutable, air-gapped vaults that ransomware can't reach, even if it's already inside your network. Each copy is also scanned for malware so you don't restore an infected backup.

If something goes wrong, we can roll your business back to a clean point in time - sometimes within minutes.

Recovery time: the number that matters

Having a backup means nothing if restoring it takes a week. The number that matters is your Recovery Time - how fast you can be back to work after a disaster.

We design backup architectures based on how much downtime your business can survive. For most small businesses, that's hours - not days. We test it quarterly with a real fire drill so you know it works before you need it.

How we deliver it
  1. 01

    We map what you can't afford to lose

    We identify which systems are critical, what downtime actually costs you per hour, and where your current backup gaps are.

  2. 02

    We build your safety net

    We design a 3-2-1 backup strategy using Acronis: three copies of your data, on two types of storage, with one off-site and immutable.

  3. 03

    We test it before you need it

    We simulate a total system loss and time the full restore. You see it work before you ever depend on it.

  4. 04

    We watch it every day

    Automated daily backup checks, monthly health reports, quarterly recovery tests. Problems caught before they ever matter.

Questions we get on the call

Because we restore from it on a schedule and send you the result. An untested backup is an assumption; a tested restore is a number you can put in front of your insurer.
