Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated off-site and local backups to ensure instant recovery and absolute business continuity — because a backup you've never tested is just a hope.

At a Glance
Minutes to Restore

Files in seconds, whole servers in minutes — recovery objectives we put in writing.

3-2-1 Architecture

Local copy for speed, off-site immutable copy for disasters.

Tested Quarterly

We run live restore drills and send you the evidence.

Overview

Why It Matters

Hardware fails, people delete things, and ransomware happens to careful companies too. We build 3-2-1 backup architectures — three copies, two media, one off-site — with automated verification and regular restore drills, so the day something goes wrong is a calm Tuesday instead of a catastrophe.

Like everything we do at V12, this comes with our family-run promise: honest advice, transparent pricing, and zero-jargon support from the same engineers who built your system.

Scope

What's Included

  • Full-image server backups — entire VMs and servers captured, not just files
  • Off-site immutable copies — encrypted backups that ransomware and rogue admins can't delete
  • M365 / email backup — because Microsoft's retention is not a backup
  • Automated verification — every backup integrity-checked, every failure alerted
  • Documented recovery runbooks — step-by-step plans your team can follow under pressure
  • Quarterly restore drills — we prove recovery works before you ever need it
Capabilities

What We Deliver

Image-Level Backup

Whole servers captured as bootable images — restore to new hardware or a VM in one step.

Immutable Off-Site Vault

Write-once cloud or remote storage that nothing — including malware — can alter or erase.

Instant VM Recovery

Run a failed server directly from its backup while we repair the original. Downtime: minutes.

M365 & Mailbox Backup

Mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint backed up independently of Microsoft.

Monitored & Alerted

Failed jobs page us, not just a log file. Every morning we know your backups succeeded.

DR Runbooks

Plain-English recovery procedures, kept current, stored where you can reach them in a crisis.

Our Process

How We Work

01
Map

We identify every system that matters, how much data loss each could tolerate, and how fast each must return.

02
Architect

Backup tiers, schedules and retention are designed to meet those targets at sensible cost.

03
Automate

Jobs deployed, encryption enabled, off-site replication running, alerting wired to humans.

04
Drill

We restore real systems on a schedule and hand you the report — proof, not promises.

FAQ

Common Questions

The questions that matter: are they off-site, are they immutable, and when did anyone last restore from them? Most backup failures are discovered during the disaster. Our quarterly drills mean yours are discovered never.

With instant-VM recovery, core systems typically run from backup within the hour while cleanup proceeds. Full recovery depends on data size, but we agree written RTO/RPO targets with you up front.

Yes. Microsoft guarantees the service, not your data — deleted items age out of retention permanently, and ransomware syncs into OneDrive happily. Independent M365 backup closes that gap.
