Harrison backup and disaster recovery

Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 left much of Westchester without power for days, and many offices couldn’t open even though their buildings were undamaged. That’s the lesson: disaster recovery isn’t only about floods or fires destroying hardware. It’s about how long your business can function when the office is unreachable. BizTechPro plans for that. Cloud copies of your data let staff work from home, phones can forward to mobiles, and a written plan lays out which systems come back first and who makes the call. For a Harrison firm serving corporate clients on deadline, that plan can be the difference between a delay and a lost account.

Ransomware is the other scenario we plan for. Attackers who reach a network often hunt for backups first, so ours are immutable and stored separately from your systems. We also run restore tests on a schedule, recovering real files and systems to prove the process works. Large clients and cyber-insurers often ask Harrison vendors for evidence of tested backups, and our documented test results give you a ready answer instead of a promise. If a restore ever fails a test, we fix it long before you need it.

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.

Is a backup the same thing as a disaster recovery plan?

Backup is making copies of your data; disaster recovery is the plan and tools for getting your business working again after something goes wrong. BizTechPro provides both for Harrison businesses: automated, tested backups plus a documented recovery plan covering priorities, responsibilities, and how staff keep working while systems are restored.

Can our Harrison business keep working if the office loses power?

Yes, with planning. BizTechPro sets up Harrison businesses so files and email live in the cloud with backups offsite, staff can work securely from home, and phones forward to mobiles automatically. A written continuity plan tells everyone what to do, so an extended outage slows the office down rather than stopping it.

Do cyber-insurers require tested backups?

Many cyber-insurance applications ask whether backups are offsite, protected from ransomware, and regularly tested. BizTechPro gives Harrison businesses immutable offsite backups and documented restore tests, so you can answer those questions accurately and show evidence if the insurer or a corporate client asks to see it.
