Backup & Disaster Recovery

A backup you have never restored is just a hope.

Tested backups, immutable copies, documented recovery plans, and rollback discipline on every planned change, with recovery time objectives you can show an auditor or an insurer.

Definition

What is backup and disaster recovery (BDR)?

Backup and disaster recovery is the practice of keeping protected copies of your data and a tested plan to bring your business back quickly after an outage, ransomware attack, or hardware failure. Evolv IT backs up your systems, keeps copies offline or immutable so ransomware cannot reach them, and tests restores so recovery is measured in hours, not hope.

Automated Backups

Scheduled, monitored backups of servers, endpoints, and cloud data, with failures flagged and fixed.

Immutable & Offline Copies

Copies ransomware cannot encrypt or delete, because attackers go after your backups first.

Tested Restores

Regular restore tests that prove your recovery actually works before you need it.

Recovery Time Objectives

Documented RTO and RPO targets you can show an auditor, insurer, or board.

Business Continuity Planning

A written plan for who does what when systems go down, not a scramble in the moment.

Change Rollback Discipline

Documented rollback on every planned change, so an update never becomes an outage.

Why It Works

Ransomware crews delete your backups first.

Backups that live on the same network as everything else are the first thing an attacker destroys. We keep protected copies out of reach and test the restore, so the worst day is recoverable instead of fatal.

  • Offline or immutable copies ransomware cannot touch
  • Restores tested on a schedule, not assumed
  • RTO and RPO targets documented in writing
  • Rollback discipline on every planned change

If nobody has restored from your backup in the last 90 days, you have a backup you cannot trust.

Straight Answers

Backup and recovery questions

How is this different from the backup built into my software?
Built-in backup is a feature, not a recovery plan. We add offline or immutable copies, monitored success, tested restores, and documented recovery targets so you can actually come back from a disaster.
What are RTO and RPO?
Recovery time objective is how fast you are back up. Recovery point objective is how much data, measured in time, you could lose. We set both targets in writing so expectations are clear before an incident.
How often do you test restores?
Restores are tested on a regular schedule, because an untested backup is only a hope. Testing confirms your systems can actually come back in hours.
