Most businesses don't find out their backup is broken until they need it. We build backup and recovery strategies that are immutable, tested, and ready for the ransomware Sunday at 2 a.m. — not just the audit on Tuesday.
Almost every business we audit has backups running somewhere. What they rarely have is documented recovery procedures, tested restore times, immutability against ransomware, and complete coverage across Microsoft 365 and cloud applications.
The gap between "the backup job ran successfully" and "we are operational again in two hours" is where most businesses discover their backup strategy doesn't actually exist.
Not just software running in the background. A documented, tested, and audit-ready recovery program tailored to your environment, your compliance requirements, and your business continuity needs.
Ransomware-proof, tamper-resistant retention with object lock or write-once architecture — backups that cannot be encrypted, deleted, or altered by an attacker who reaches your environment.
Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data backed up via Cove Data Protection. Granular recovery of mailboxes, sites, files, and chat history — not just tenant-level snapshots.
Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Contacts backed up via Backupify. Per-user restore, point-in-time recovery, and full account exports when needed for legal hold or departing employees.
Workstation and server backup via Ninja Backup or Datto BCDR depending on environment. Local and offsite retention, encryption at rest and in transit, with monitoring built in.
A written, environment-specific playbook for what to recover, in what order, by whom, and to what success criteria. Not generic templates — tailored to your business.
We test restores, not just backups. Documented RTO and RPO confirmed against real recovery exercises — including ransomware simulation against immutable storage.
We don't have a "one backup product" pitch. Different environments need different tools. We deploy what fits your size, compliance requirements, and recovery objectives — not what pays the highest partner margin.
A 25-user professional services firm in Stamford has different recovery needs than a 4-location healthcare practice in NYC. Cookie-cutter backup deployments either over-spend on infrastructure the client doesn't need, or under-protect on coverage the client absolutely does.
We assess your environment first — RTO requirements, compliance obligations, data growth trajectory, cyber insurance language — then select tools that fit. Most of our clients run a combination of these solutions, layered by data type.
On-premise appliance with immutable cloud replication. Instant virtualization for critical servers, screenshot verification, and 1-hour RTO targets for revenue-critical workloads.
N-able Cove for Microsoft 365 backup. Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data covered. Granular restore at the item, mailbox, site, or tenant level.
Datto Backupify for Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Contacts. Per-user point-in-time restore and full account exports for legal hold scenarios.
Workstation and laptop backup integrated with NinjaRMM. Image-based recovery, file-level restores, and consolidated monitoring alongside endpoint management.
Veeam for VMware/Hyper-V and physical server environments. Axcient for direct-to-cloud BCDR. Selected for clients with compliance frameworks requiring named-vendor evidence.
Cyber insurance carriers have completely rewritten their backup expectations over the past two years. The checkbox is no longer "do you have backups." It's "do you have immutable backups, with tested recovery procedures, with documented RTOs and RPOs, with M365 data protected, with offsite copies that are network-isolated."
Getting any of these wrong on your renewal can result in coverage denied, premiums doubled, or claims rejected at the worst possible moment. We produce the documentation your carrier and broker actually need — and the evidence packages that hold up to underwriting review.
Documentation that backups cannot be modified or deleted by an attacker — even one with full domain admin or root credentials.
Evidence of restore tests within the last 12 months, with documented RTO results — not just backup success logs.
Confirmation that Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data is covered by a third-party backup solution, not relying on the SaaS provider's native retention.
Offsite or air-gapped backup copies that are not reachable from the production network — a common new requirement under NYDFS Section 500.11.
Different businesses need different backup architectures. These are the three scenarios that come up most often across our client base in CT, Westchester, and NYC.
"We came in Monday morning and every file server is locked. The ransom demand is $400,000. Our backups are encrypted too."
We rebuild from immutable cloud backups that were never reachable by the attacker. Identity layer rebuilt, environment hardened, and operations restored — typically within 48 to 72 hours for a 25–75 user environment.
"Our CFO left three months ago. Legal needs every email she sent about the Q3 acquisition. The account was deleted 30 days after termination."
Cove M365 backup retains data past Microsoft's native retention windows. We restore the full mailbox, OneDrive, and Teams history for legal hold and litigation support — often in under an hour.
"Our broker just sent the renewal questionnaire. There are 14 questions about backup we have no idea how to answer. The application is due in three weeks."
We assess your environment against the carrier's specific questionnaire, remediate the gaps, and produce the supporting documentation. Most clients improve from "uninsurable" to "preferred risk tier" in under 60 days.
