Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
Comprehensive backup and recovery solutions that ensure your business survives any disruption.
How It Works
Every business believes it has backups. Far fewer have watched someone restore one under pressure, with a deadline and an audience.
We start from two numbers only leadership can set: how long you can be down, and how much data you can afford to lose. Those drive backup frequency, replication design, and cost — not the other way round. Gulf Coast planning also has to assume extended power loss, flooding, and displaced staff, so recovery targets cloud and off-site paths rather than the building you cannot reach.
Restores are then tested on a schedule and the results documented, so continuity is something you have demonstrated rather than something you hope for.
Key Benefits
- Recovery objectives set deliberately with leadership, so cost and protection are a business decision rather than a technical default
- Documented restore tests on a defined calendar — evidence for insurers and auditors, not assurances
- Off-site and cloud recovery paths designed for Gulf Coast realities: extended outages, flooding, and displaced staff
- Backup coverage that includes Microsoft 365 data, which the platform does not retain indefinitely on your behalf
- A written continuity plan naming who does what in the first 48 hours, tested before you need it
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity — common questions
- Recovery time objective is how long you can afford to be down; recovery point objective is how much data you can afford to lose. Those two numbers—set by leadership, not IT—determine backup frequency, replication strategy, and cost. We help you set them deliberately instead of discovering them during an outage.
- Houston-area continuity planning has to assume extended power loss, flooding, and staff displacement—not just server failure. We design for off-site and cloud recovery, document communication plans that work when the office is unreachable, and schedule restore tests ahead of hurricane season.
- Restore tests should run on a defined calendar—quarterly is common—and after significant infrastructure changes. An untested backup is a hope, not a plan. ECS documents test results so leadership and insurers can see evidence, not assurances.
