Mahwah backup and disaster recovery

For a Mahwah distributor, the ERP database is the business: open orders, stock levels, customer pricing, and years of history. If the server holding it fails or gets encrypted, people can’t pick, invoice, or answer customers. Our backup and disaster recovery service protects that database with frequent, application-aware backups, so a restore brings it back in a consistent state rather than as a corrupted copy. We keep immutable copies off-site and in the cloud, out of reach of an attacker who gets into your network, and we write down the recovery order: database, then shipping software, then file shares, then everything else.

Weather matters here too. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 knocked out power across North Jersey for days, and Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 brought serious flooding along the Ramapo River. We plan for a site that’s unreachable, with copies stored elsewhere and a way to run critical systems while you wait. Ransomware remains the more likely threat for a distributor, and immutable copies mean an attacker can’t delete your way back. Restore tests confirm that the ERP, shipping software, and file shares actually come back, and we record how long each one takes so you know what to expect.

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.

How do you back up an ERP database correctly?

With application-aware backups that capture the database in a consistent state, run often enough to limit lost transactions, and get tested by actually restoring them. BizTechPro sets this up for Mahwah businesses, keeps immutable off-site copies, and documents the restore steps, so the ERP comes back usable rather than as a damaged file.

How much data could we lose in a disaster?

That depends on how often backups run. BizTechPro asks Mahwah clients how many hours of orders or transactions they could afford to re-enter, then sets backup frequency to match. Critical databases are backed up more often than file shares. We write those targets into your recovery plan so expectations are clear before anything goes wrong.

What does a disaster recovery plan include?

A BizTechPro recovery plan lists your critical systems in restore order, where backups are kept, who makes decisions during an outage, how staff will work in the meantime, and how long each step should take. For Mahwah operations, it also covers how shipping and customer service continue. We review and test it so it stays current.
