Backup tapes and external hard drives don't cut it anymore. Most businesses can't wait days or weeks to recover systems after a ransomware attack or hardware failure -- if the backups work at all. Entire cities destroyed by fire and flood are also a good reminder that businesses can lose everything by storing backup tapes and external hard drives in local facilities or a business owner's home.
In general, we recommend systems that meet the following criteria:
We provide custom solutions and backup appliances that automatically replicate your systems to appliances on your site as well as secure SOC1-certified facilities in Toronto and Calgary.
We also provide always-on cellular Internet backup routers and self-healing wireless mesh access points.
Local appliances provide fast real-time secure replication, imemediate recovery, and failover for your systems without worrying about Internet speeds or outages. We provide white-glove installation of an appliance that copies your local backups to SOC1-certified data centres in Toronto (for Calgary clients) or Calgary (for Toronto clients). Depending on your requirements, we may provide the appliance free of charge.
Backups should always be stored in a location that is not subject to the same threats as the primary location. For example, if a business in Fort McMurray stores its tapes at an IT Manager's office, the tapes could be melted in the same fire that burned down the office. Instantly replicating systems in Calgary to Toronto ensure that natural disasters that affect one location won't touch the other. Secure transfer over the Internet is faster, more reliable, and more secure than a tape courier or backup truck.
How long can your business tolerate an outage of its most critical systems? How much data can you afford to lose? Hourly backups can accomodate a very tight Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Automatic failovers to a local appliane support a near instant Recoery Time Objective (RTO) with little to no performance degredation. If your main systems fail and local appliance is destroyed, your systems can fail over to our remote backups within seconds. If ransomware infects your systems, our backups will detect mass encryptions, recover files, and/or failover to keep your business running smoothly. In virtually any scenario, you can be back up and running before your competitors even pick up the phone to order their backup tapes to be delivered!
Microsoft, Google, and SalesForce provide excellent uptime and reliability. However, files get deleted, ransomware corrupts mounted OneDrive files, Google gSuite Backup and Sync folders, and Google Drive file streams. In the worst case, compliance-related files or financial records can be lost forever without adequate backups -- even when using fairly reliable cloud providers. Backupify addresses these and other risks by monitoring change, proactively responding to signs of ransomware, and keeping as many hourly, daily, weekly, and/or monthly backups as you need. This means that if you don't realize that you've deleted something until after it's automatically purged from your cloud storage system -- or worse yet, until after your auditor or court requests a file that was accidentally deleted.
