Tarrytown backup and disaster recovery

Life along the Hudson comes with weather risk. Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge in 2012 pushed the river into low-lying waterfront areas, with Piermont, just across the water in Rockland, among the hardest hit, and the remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021 caused flash flooding across Westchester. For a Tarrytown business, the danger isn’t only water; it’s also days without power or internet. We keep backups in the cloud and offsite, away from the building, and plan how staff will work in the meantime, so a closed office doesn’t mean a closed business. Clients and donors keep hearing from you even while the building is closed.

Ransomware and human error are everyday risks too. A staff member deletes a shared folder, a laptop is left on the train, or an attacker encrypts the server. Immutable backups give us a clean copy no attacker can alter, and Microsoft 365 backup covers email, OneDrive, and SharePoint beyond Microsoft’s default retention. We test restores on a schedule and keep a continuity plan current, so Tarrytown owners know exactly what comes back first and who makes the call. Laptops are backed up too, so a lost device means a replacement and a restore, not lost work.

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 Tarrytown businesses protect data from Hudson River storms?

Keep copies away from the building. BizTechPro stores backups offsite and in the cloud for Tarrytown clients, so flooding or a long power outage at the office doesn’t touch them. We also plan which systems come back first and how staff work remotely, using laptops and Microsoft 365, until the office reopens.

Can you recover a single deleted file or email?

Yes. Backup and disaster recovery isn’t only for major events. BizTechPro restores individual files, folders, and emails for Tarrytown clients whenever they’re needed, whether something was deleted by accident, overwritten, or damaged. With Microsoft 365 backup in place, we can recover items beyond Microsoft’s default retention period.

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup is keeping copies of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and tools for getting your business running again after a major failure, including which systems are restored first, where people work, and how long recovery should take. BizTechPro provides both for Tarrytown businesses and tests them so the plan holds up.
