Servers & on-prem infrastructure
Protect the core systems that keep your operations running, even if hardware fails.
- Physical and virtual servers
- Key line-of-business applications
- Domain controllers and file servers
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Hardware fails, people make mistakes, and attackers go after your data. XaaS Techs designs and manages backup & disaster recovery plans so you can restore quickly and keep serving clients, even when bad things happen.
- Server, workstation & cloud backups
- Ransomware-resilient designs
- Recovery plans tested on a schedule
Overview
Backups are about more than checking a box.
A lot of organizations “have backups” — until the day they try to restore and discover gaps, corruption, or missing data. Screenshots of green dashboards aren’t enough when you’re under pressure.
XaaS Techs helps you build a backup and disaster recovery program that matches how your business actually runs. We focus on which systems matter most, how quickly they need to be back online, and how to recover when the worst happens.
- Clear recovery objectives (RPO/RTO) by system
- Protection for on-prem, cloud, and hybrid workloads
- Documented runbooks for when things go sideways
What we protect
Data and systems we can back up and protect.
We look beyond just servers. Modern environments blend on-prem hardware, cloud services, and endpoint data — all of which need a plan.
Workstations & endpoints
Capture critical data that lives on laptops and desktops — especially for remote and traveling staff.
- Endpoint backup policies for key roles
- Support for remote and hybrid workers
- Rapid restore options for failed devices
Microsoft 365 & cloud apps
“It’s in the cloud” doesn’t always mean “it’s backed up.” We help close the gaps.
- Exchange Online, SharePoint & OneDrive backups
- Retention aligned with legal and compliance needs
- Options for other SaaS platforms where supported
Databases & critical datasets
Structured data often has the strictest recovery and integrity requirements.
- Application-specific backup strategies
- Verification and consistency checks
- Point-in-time recovery where applicable
Configuration & infrastructure-as-data
Don’t forget the “brains” of your environment: configuration and automation.
- Firewall and network device configurations
- Scripts, templates, and automation artifacts
- Documentation and runbooks in central repositories
Executive & high-risk roles
Additional protection for roles where data loss would be especially damaging.
- Enhanced backup policies for leadership
- Extra validation on restore capabilities
- Coordinated recovery procedures with key staff
Strategy & design
From “we think we’re covered” to a real backup & recovery strategy.
We map your systems, data, and business processes to a backup and recovery design that fits your budget and risk tolerance.
RPO/RTO planning by system
Not every workload is equally critical. We help you decide what needs rapid recovery and what can wait.
- Business impact analysis for key systems
- Tiered recovery objectives by application
- Documented expectations for leadership
Backup architecture & storage
Choose where and how backups live: onsite, offsite, cloud, or a blend.
- Onsite backup appliances where needed
- Encrypted offsite and cloud replication
- Retention and archive policies by dataset
Ransomware resilience
Design with attackers in mind, not just accidents and outages.
- Immutable or air-gapped backup options
- Separation of backup credentials and access
- Guidance on segmenting backup infrastructure
Testing & readiness
Recovery you’ve actually tested — not just hoped for.
The worst time to learn how your backups work is during a real incident. We build testing and documentation into your program so you’re not improvising under stress.
- Regular test restores for key servers and data
- Documented recovery procedures and checklists
- Tabletop exercises for leadership and IT teams
FAQ
Backup & disaster recovery – FAQs.
Isn’t our cloud provider already backing everything up?
Cloud platforms typically protect their infrastructure, but not always your specific backup and retention needs. Accidental deletion, malicious actions, and configuration mistakes can still cause data loss without a dedicated backup solution.
How often should we back up our data?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Some systems may be fine with nightly backups; others may need snapshots every hour or more frequently. We’ll help you set realistic recovery point objectives (RPOs).
Can you work with our existing backup tools?
Often, yes. We can evaluate your current platform, improve configuration and coverage, and only recommend changes if there are clear gaps or limitations. The goal is a coherent strategy, not tool sprawl.
What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backups are about copies of data; disaster recovery is about how quickly you can get systems and operations running again after an incident. A good BCDR program covers both: reliable backups and clear recovery plans.
Ready to pressure-test your backups?
Let’s review your current backup tools, recovery objectives, and risks — and design a backup & disaster recovery program that you can actually rely on when it matters most.
