Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups that actually work — tested, monitored, Canadian-hosted.

Most businesses have “a backup” — until they try to restore. We run managed, encrypted backup and disaster recovery, supervised by real engineers and tested so your data actually comes back.

  • Verified, supervised backups — not set-and-forget
  • Tested restores, so recovery actually works
  • Ransomware-isolated copies in a Canadian data centre

🔒 Canadian data residency · encrypted in transit & at rest · senior-managed

CanadaYour backups stay in a Canadian data centre — good for privacy and client trust.

AES-256Encrypted in transit and at rest — end to end, every copy.

The real risk

“We have backups” is not the same as “we recovered”

  • Your backup silently stopped working months ago and no one noticed
  • You back up files — but not your servers, databases, or Microsoft 365
  • You’ve never actually tested a full restore
  • Ransomware encrypted your backups along with everything else
  • Your only copy sits in the same building as the original
  • A key laptop was lost or stolen — and so was its data

If any of these could be you — start with a free backup check.

What we protect

Everything that would hurt to lose

Files & Folders

The documents, shares, and working files your team can’t operate without — backed up continuously.

Servers

Physical and virtual servers, with full-image or file-level recovery when something goes down.

Databases & MS SQL

Application and SQL databases backed up consistently, so you restore clean, not corrupted.

Microsoft 365

Mail, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — the data Microsoft does not back up for you.

Endpoints & Laptops

Staff laptops and workstations, so a lost, stolen, or encrypted device isn’t lost data.

NAS & Local

On-site NAS and local storage mirrored offsite, so one fire or flood isn’t the end of it.

Why IT-TECH

The difference between a backup and a recovery

Supervised & verified — not set-and-forget

We watch every backup job and alert on failures. The most common disaster isn’t no backup — it’s a backup that silently stopped working months ago.

Tested restores

A backup you’ve never restored is a guess. We test recovery so your data actually comes back — before you’re betting the business on it.

Ransomware-resilient

Isolated, immutable copies that attackers can’t reach, encrypt, or delete — so paying the ransom is never your only option.

Canadian & senior-led

Your data stays in a Canadian data centre, encrypted, managed by senior engineers with 15+ years — not shipped offshore or run by a script.

FAQ

Questions before you trust us with your data

Where is my data stored?

In a Canadian data centre, encrypted in transit and at rest. Your data doesn’t leave the country — which matters for privacy, compliance, and client trust.

What can you back up?

Files and folders, physical and virtual servers, SQL and application databases, Microsoft 365 (mail, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams), endpoints and laptops, and on-site NAS/local storage.

Isn’t Microsoft 365 already backed up?

No — not the way most people assume. Microsoft runs on a shared-responsibility model: they keep the service running, but recovering your data after accidental deletion, a compromised account, or ransomware is on you. Third-party backup covers that gap.

How fast can you restore?

It depends on what’s lost — a single file is near-instant; a full server is a planned, tested recovery. We design recovery targets with you up front so there are no surprises in a crisis.

Is it protected from ransomware?

Yes. We keep isolated, immutable copies that ransomware can’t encrypt or delete, so even if your live environment is hit, you have clean data to restore from.

Do you actually test restores?

Yes — on a schedule. An untested backup is a hope, not a plan. Verifying restores is the difference between “we have backups” and “we recovered.”

Free Backup Check

Find out if your data would actually come back.

No cost, no obligation. A senior engineer reviews what you protect — and what you don’t — and tells you straight.
