What's Included

A recovery plan you can actually count on.

Backups are only useful if they're verified and fast to restore. Here's what's covered.

Automated Cloud Backup

Servers, workstations, and business data are backed up automatically on a schedule matched to how often things actually change.

Backup Testing & Verification

Recovery is tested on a regular schedule — not assumed — so you know a restore will actually work before you ever need it.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Clear recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) targets defined for your business, with a documented plan for how downtime gets handled.

Cloud Migration

Servers and file systems moved to secure, redundant cloud infrastructure — planned and executed with minimal disruption.

Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Backup

Email, files, and collaboration data in your cloud productivity suite are backed up independently — most native cloud plans don't cover this.

Ransomware-Ready Recovery

Immutable, isolated backup copies designed specifically so a ransomware event can't reach — or encrypt — your recovery point.

Why Cloud Cover

Recovery isn't a checkbox. It's rehearsed.

  • Backups are tested, not assumed

    We regularly verify that a real restore works, so a disaster isn't the first time your backup gets put to the test.

  • Clear recovery targets, not vague promises

    Every plan defines exactly how much data you could lose and how long recovery would take — no ambiguity when it matters.

  • One team, every layer connected

    Backup and DR are managed alongside your IT and security as one system, closing the gaps that happen between separate vendors.

  • 30+ years of enterprise IT leadership

    Your recovery plan is designed by people who've built DR strategy for real organizations, scaled to fit your budget.

Common Questions

Cloud backup & disaster recovery — frequently asked questions

What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup is having a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the full plan — infrastructure, timeline, and process — for getting your business back online after an outage, not just having a file to restore.

How often are backups actually tested?

On a regular, scheduled basis as part of your plan — we perform real test restores rather than simply confirming a backup job completed.

What do RTO and RPO mean?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how long it takes to get systems back online. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you could lose, measured in time since the last backup. We define both for your business up front.

Can you recover us from a ransomware attack?

Yes — our backup approach includes isolated, immutable copies specifically so ransomware can't reach your recovery point, allowing a clean restore instead of paying a ransom.
