Data Backup & Recovery
A failed drive should be an inconvenience, not an ethics problem. We build encrypted, tested backups of your matter files and practice data — and we prove they restore, on a schedule, in writing.
A backup you have never restored is a hope
Most firms we review have a backup. Far fewer have tested one. The gap shows up in the worst moment: a corrupted practice management database, a ransomware event, a server that will not boot on a Monday morning. We restore files and full systems on a published schedule and record the result.
Encrypted, versioned, off-site
Backups are encrypted at rest and in transit, versioned so a slow-moving corruption is recoverable, and stored off-site with a copy that ransomware cannot encrypt. Retention follows your professional obligations and your insurer's questions.
Recovery times you can plan around
We agree on recovery targets in advance — how much data you can lose, and how long you can be offline — then design to meet them. For most firms of ten to fifty staff, that means file-level recovery in minutes and full systems within a business day.
Define
Agree recovery point and recovery time targets for each system, in plain terms your partners can approve.
Protect
Deploy encrypted, versioned, immutable off-site backups with monitored job success and alerting.
Prove
Run scheduled restores, document them, and hand you a report you can show an insurer or a client.
