Backup & disaster Recovery

Backup & Disaster Recovery – Explained

Operational support = long term success

Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) isn’t just a technical checkbox—it’s the backbone of your business continuity. When disaster strikes, whether it’s a cyberattack, accidental deletion, or a server crash, your ability to recover quickly can determine if your business stays running or grinds to a halt.

Most SMBs don’t have the resources to manage a fully compliant BC/DR plan in-house—and that’s where On-Site PC Services comes in. Our team delivers fully managed, enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery solutions designed for SMB budgets but built for enterprise resilience.

We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

On-Site PC’s Backup & Disaster Recovery Offering

Schedules and Retention

Keeping your business protected starts with a smart backup schedule. The truth is, not all data needs the same level of protection—but all businesses need a plan.

At On-Site PC Services, we work with you to define:

  • How quickly you need to recover (RTO – Recovery Time Objective)
  • How much data you can afford to lose (RPO – Recovery Point Objective)

Instead of throwing a one-size-fits-all solution at you, we design a custom backup and retention strategy that balances protection with budget. This ensures your business is always prepared for the unexpected without overpaying for storage you don’t need.

When disruptions do happen, our clients experience minimal downtime—because recovery has already been planned and tested in advance.

Testing and Validation

Having a backup is only valuable if it works when you need it. Many businesses assume their backups are reliable but rarely test them—leaving a dangerous gap in their disaster recovery plan.

At On-Site PC Services, we make sure your backups are more than just files stored away. Our team runs regular testing and validation routines to confirm that your data, applications, and systems can be fully restored when needed.

  • Proactive verification: We routinely test backups so recovery is guaranteed, not just assumed.
  • Real-world reliability: We validate that files, applications, and entire systems can be restored quickly.
  • Peace of mind: Clients and their business partners have assurance that continuity is always protected.

With automated validation and expert oversight, we remove the guesswork. You can trust that your business continuity and disaster recovery plan is battle-tested and ready when it matters most.

Air-Gapped Protection

In today’s world, one of the biggest risks to your business data is ransomware and cyberattacks. That’s why having air-gapped protection—a secure, isolated copy of your data—is considered the gold standard for any backup strategy.

In the past, this meant physically moving tapes or drives to offsite storage, which was costly and time-consuming. Today, On-Site PC Services provides modern air-gapped protection by creating logical barriers between your on-premise systems and secure cloud platforms. This delivers the same level of isolation and protection—without the expense or hassle of old methods.

  • Defense against ransomware: Isolated backups can’t be accessed or encrypted by attackers.
  • Modern, cost-effective design: No need for physical tapes or offsite facilities.
  • Cloud-enabled security: Enjoy enterprise-level protection at a price SMBs can afford.

With On-Site PC Services, ransomware and other cyber threats no longer have to be an expensive barrier to protecting your business. Our air-gapped backup solutions keep your critical data safe, secure, and always recoverable.

Workstations, Servers, and the Cloud

Your business relies on more than just one system—which means your backup plan should protect everything. At On-Site PC Services, we provide comprehensive coverage across your entire IT environment, including workstations, servers, and cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Azure.

  • Workstations: Safeguard employee files, settings, and productivity tools so individuals can get back to work quickly after a disruption.
  • Servers: Protect the backbone of your business operations, from databases to applications, with fast and reliable recovery options.
  • Cloud platforms: Ensure your Microsoft 365, Azure, and other SaaS applications are backed up, secure, and easily restorable.

Whether your team is working locally, remotely, or in the cloud, our managed backup services ensure that every part of your business is protected. With On-Site PC Services, you can trust that your critical systems are secure, recoverable, and always available when you need them most.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR)

Backups are only one piece of the puzzle—what really matters is how quickly your business can bounce back after an outage, cyberattack, or system failure. That’s where Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) comes in.

At On-Site PC Services, we go beyond storing copies of your data. We design and manage end-to-end BC/DR strategies that ensure your business keeps running no matter what happens.

  • Minimize downtime: Rapid recovery solutions that get your team back online quickly.
  • Keep operations running: Maintain access to critical applications and data during an outage.
  • Tailored recovery plans: Solutions built around your specific Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
  • Compliance-ready protection: Meet industry regulations with defensible continuity strategies.

With over two decades of experience and 150+ 5-star Google reviews, On-Site PC Services is the trusted partner businesses rely on to protect not just their data, but their entire operation. Our BC/DR solutions give you the confidence that your business can withstand the unexpected—and come back stronger.

What is cloud backup and why does my business need it?
