Englewood backup and disaster recovery

When the remnants of Hurricane Ida hit northern New Jersey in September 2021, flash flooding swamped streets and basements across Bergen County within hours, and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 left homes and businesses without power for days. Englewood offices that keep their server, or their only backup drive, in a basement or ground-floor closet carry that risk every storm season. Our backup and disaster recovery service keeps copies off-site and in the cloud, far from your building’s plumbing and power. For medical practices, the HIPAA Security Rule calls for a data backup plan and a disaster recovery plan, and we help you build and document both.

Ransomware is the bigger day-to-day threat. Attackers target backups first, so we use immutable copies that can’t be encrypted or deleted, even by someone holding an admin password. Restore testing confirms that a full server, a single patient folder, or a deleted email can actually be recovered, and how long it takes. Your continuity plan names which systems return first, so an Englewood practice can get back to seeing patients, and staff know where to work and whom to call in the meantime.

Automated backups

Servers, computers, and cloud data backed up on a set schedule without anyone needing to remember, with alerts to our team when a backup job fails or is skipped.

Offsite & cloud copies

Copies kept in secure locations away from your office, so a fire, flood, burst pipe, or theft at your building can’t take out your data and your backups together.

Ransomware protection

Immutable backup copies that can’t be encrypted, altered, or deleted for a set period, even by someone holding a stolen administrator password, so clean data is there to restore after an attack.

Microsoft 365 backup

Separate backups of Exchange Online email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams files, protecting against accidental deletion, departing employees, and ransomware beyond what Microsoft’s default retention covers.

Recovery testing

Regular test restores of files and full systems, so we know your backups actually work and how long a recovery takes before a real emergency puts them to the test.

Continuity planning

A written plan covering who does what, which systems come back first, how staff keep working during an outage, and how quickly each part of your business can be running again.

Does HIPAA require a medical practice to have a disaster recovery plan?

Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule’s contingency plan standard requires covered entities to have a data backup plan, a disaster recovery plan, and an emergency mode operation plan. BizTechPro helps Englewood practices put backups, off-site copies, restore testing, and a written recovery plan in place, and keeps documentation you can show during a review.

Where should our backups be stored?

Follow the 3-2-1 approach: at least three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy off-site. BizTechPro adds an immutable cloud copy that ransomware can’t alter. For Englewood businesses, that means a flooded basement, a stolen server, or an encrypted network still leaves a clean copy available to restore.

How do we know our backups will actually work?

Only by testing them. BizTechPro performs scheduled restore tests for Englewood clients, recovering real files, mailboxes, and full systems, then records how long each recovery took and shares the results. If a test fails, we fix the cause right away, rather than discovering the problem during an actual outage.
