Backup & Disaster Recovery for Denver METRO
3-2-1 backups with off-site copies, version history, and documented test restores.
I protect Windows servers and data shares with scheduled jobs, VSS-aware snapshots, encryption in transit & at rest, off-site retention, and a recovery playbook you can keep.
Common risks I see
- Single onsite backup with no off-site or history
- Backups run but no verification or restore testing
- Open files, databases, and VMs not captured safely
- Ransomware can encrypt backups or delete previous versions
How I protect your data
I run scheduled, VSS-aware backups for servers and file shares, verify results, keep **off-site copies** with **version history**, and perform documented **test restores**. Policies include encryption, bandwidth windows, and retention tuned to your Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives.
What’s included
Scheduled server backups
VSS-aware jobs for Windows servers and shares with email reporting and verification.
Off-site copies
Encrypted cloud backups with version history and retention to survive ransomware and deletions.
Retention & versioning
Keep recent versions for fast rollbacks and long-term archives for compliance needs.
Health checks & alerts
Daily status review with remediation; failures get attention, not ignorance.
Bandwidth windows
Throttle and schedule upload windows so backups don’t step on business hours.
Recovery playbook
Documented steps for file restores and full-server recovery with contacts and priorities.
How recovery works
Pick the point in time
Choose the version before the incident — accidental delete or ransomware event.
Restore & verify
Restore files or full data sets and verify hashes. For servers, I can stage to alt-location first.
Return to service
Bring apps back online with a rollback plan; document what happened and update runbooks.
What clients notice
Real restore proof
Scheduled test restores with simple reports — not hope.
Clear RPO/RTO
Agreed recovery points and timelines set expectations.
Audit-ready docs
Policies, job settings, and runbooks you can hand to auditors.
Backup FAQ
How often do you back up?
I schedule jobs to hit your onsite/offsite backup units — typically nightly full/incrementals with extra copies for key data.
Are backups encrypted?
Yes — encryption in transit and at rest. Access requires password protected credentials.
Do you test restores?
Yes. I perform scheduled test restores and keep a simple report so we know recovery works.
Can ransomware wipe backups? NOTE: Ask about Hyper-V: one of the only know ways to keep ransomware from wiping out your company.
Off-site copies keep prior versions so you can roll back to a clean point even after encryption.
