Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Services in Miami
Picture this. It's a Monday morning in September. A hurricane hit over the weekend.
Your servers are offline. Half your staff can't get to work. Your clients are calling. Some businesses close their doors after a week like that. Others are back online by Tuesday afternoon. The difference is whether they had real Data Backup and Disaster Recovery in place. That is what we build for Miami businesses.
Why Miami Businesses Are Especially Vulnerable
Most American businesses worry about one or two disaster scenarios. Miami businesses face every one of them.
Hurricanes. Floods. Power grid failures. Ransomware. Hardware death from humidity. Employee mistakes. Theft. Fire. Pick any of those and a business without proper backup is in serious trouble within hours.
The good news is that every single one of those scenarios is survivable. With the right preparation.
What We Actually Do
Managed Data Backup
Daily, automated backups across every system you use. No human action required.
Disaster Recovery as a Service
When disaster hits, we spin up your systems in the cloud. Your team keeps working while we deal with the underlying issue.
Cloud Backup for SaaS Apps
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other cloud tools backed up separately from the platforms themselves.
Server and Workstation Backup
Full image backups of everything important. Fast recovery for any device.
Ransomware Recovery
Immutable, air-gapped backups that attackers cannot touch.
Business Continuity Planning
A real plan for keeping your business running through any crisis.
Quarterly Recovery Testing
Real tests with real data. You see exactly how recovery would work.
Hurricane Preparedness Planning
Pre-storm checklists, during-storm support, post-storm priority response.
The 3-2-1 Rule and Why It Matters for Companies in Miami
The 3-2-1 backup rule has been around for years because it works. Three copies of your data. Two different storage types. One copy offsite.
For Miami businesses, that offsite copy is the difference between survival and shutdown. If a hurricane floods your office, the local backup is gone. The offsite one keeps you alive.
We follow 3-2-1 by default for every client. Sometimes we go further with 3-2-1-1-0, which adds an air-gapped copy and zero errors after testing.
Microsoft 365 Is Not Backing You Up
This is the most expensive misconception in business technology. People assume Microsoft 365 protects their data. It mostly doesn't.
Microsoft protects against their own failures. Servers going down on their end. Their data centers having problems. That kind of thing.
They do not protect against:
Accidental deletion by an employee
Malicious deletion by a former employee
Ransomware encrypting cloud files
Retention policy gaps
Account compromise leading to data loss
A real third-party backup fills every one of those gaps. We deploy and manage it for every Microsoft 365 client.
How Ransomware Recovery Works
Ransomware is designed to find and destroy your backups. That is why traditional backups fail against modern attacks.
Our approach uses immutable backups. Once data is written, it cannot be changed or deleted. Even by an administrator. Even by ransomware. Even if attackers fully compromise your environment.
When ransomware hits, we restore from clean backups. No ransom payment. No data loss. Most clients are back online within hours.

Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives
Two terms matter here.
RTO is Recovery Time Objective. It answers "how fast do I need to be back online?" Some businesses can handle a day of downtime. Others lose money every minute they are offline.
RPO is Recovery Point Objective. It answers "how much data can I afford to lose?" Some businesses can lose a day of data. Others cannot lose an hour.
We help every client define both numbers based on what their business actually needs. Then we build a backup system that hits those targets.

Pricing for Backup and Disaster Recovery in Miami
Cost depends on what you're protecting.
Per-user pricing covers SaaS backup like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Per-server pricing covers full image backup for physical and virtual servers. Per-GB pricing applies for large file storage. Full DRaaS is priced based on infrastructure size and recovery requirements.
Most clients pay one flat monthly fee that covers everything. We quote based on your real environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup means making copies of your data. Disaster recovery means getting your entire business back up and running after something goes wrong. You need both.
How often is my data backed up?
Most clients have daily backups at minimum. Critical systems are usually backed up every hour or even every few minutes.
How fast can you restore our data after a disaster in Miami?
Key systems are typically back online within hours. Full recovery time depends on environment size and disaster type.
Do you back up Microsoft 365?
Yes. We strongly recommend third-party backup for Microsoft 365 because Microsoft's built-in tools don't fully protect you.
Are backups encrypted?
Yes. Every backup is encrypted in transit and at rest. Only authorized accounts can access them.
How do you protect backups from ransomware?
We use immutable backups that cannot be changed or deleted. We also store copies offsite and air-gapped from your main network.
What is RTO and RPO, and what should mine be?
RTO is how fast you need to be back online. RPO is how much data you can afford to lose. We help you set both based on what your business actually needs.
Do you test your backups?
Yes. We run real recovery tests every quarter. Each test produces a report so you know exactly what works.
What happens during a hurricane in Miami?
Your backups are stored outside Florida. Cloud failover keeps your systems running. Our team stays online through the storm to support you.
Is your backup HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. We provide HIPAA-compliant backup and recovery for healthcare clients, including encryption, access controls, and audit logging.
