Ransomware, hardware failures, and natural disasters don’t wait. IT HQ provides automated backups with tested recovery plans — so your business gets back online fast when it matters most.
Get a BDR AssessmentMost businesses don’t discover their backups are broken until they need them. By then, it’s too late. Ransomware, accidental deletion, hardware failure, and natural disasters can wipe out years of data in minutes — and without a tested recovery plan, getting back online can take days or weeks.
IT HQ takes a different approach. We define your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) based on your actual business needs, implement automated backup solutions that cover servers, workstations, and cloud data, and — critically — we test those backups on a regular schedule.
From on-premise servers to Microsoft 365 and Azure, every critical system gets protected with redundant backups, encryption in transit and at rest, and a documented disaster recovery plan your team can execute with confidence.
One thing that surprises most businesses: Microsoft 365 does not back up your data for you. If an employee deletes a SharePoint library or a mailbox gets compromised, Microsoft’s native retention may not be enough to get it back. We deploy third-party backup solutions that protect your Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data independently — with restore capabilities that go far beyond what Microsoft offers out of the box.
We don’t just set it and forget it. Our team monitors backup jobs daily, tests restores on a regular schedule, and maintains runbooks that document exactly how to bring each system back online. When an incident happens, we execute the recovery plan quickly and keep your team informed every step of the way.
Image-based backups of physical and virtual servers with configurable frequency and retention — stored on-site and in the cloud.
Third-party backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — because Microsoft’s native retention policies won’t protect you.
Monthly recovery tests with documented results. We verify your backups are actually recoverable — not just running. We don’t just check the backup log. We actually restore files and test full system recovery so you know the process works before you need it.
We define your acceptable downtime and data loss thresholds, then design a BDR plan that meets those objectives.
All backups encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in geographically redundant locations for maximum protection.
Business continuity appliances that can spin up virtual servers in minutes — keeping your business running during a full outage.
Backup is only as good as the last successful restore. Here’s what separates a professionally managed BDR program from the set-it-and-forget-it approach that leaves most businesses exposed.
Tested recovery plans with defined RTO/RPO targets ensure your business can survive any disaster — ransomware, hardware failure, or natural event. We run scheduled recovery drills and document every test so you have proof your backups work — not just a hope.
Set-and-forget backup schedules with monitoring and verification. No manual intervention required, no human errors.
Failover capabilities that get you back online in hours, not days. Minimize revenue loss and operational disruption. We build recovery runbooks that spell out exactly who does what, in what order, and how long each step takes — so there’s no scrambling when an incident hits.
Backup verification logs, recovery test reports, and retention policies that satisfy audit and compliance requirements.
Any business that depends on its data to operate needs a tested backup and disaster recovery plan. These are the most common scenarios where our BDR services deliver clear value.
Businesses running backups but have never tested a full recovery — the most dangerous position in IT. We protect Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data independently — with restore capabilities far beyond what Microsoft’s native tools provide.
Manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and professional services firms that are frequent ransomware targets. We design backup schedules and retention policies that satisfy audit requirements for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, and CMMC.
Organizations that need documented backup procedures, retention policies, and recovery verification for regulatory compliance.
Businesses still using tape backups, manual USB drives, or outdated cloud backup tools that are unreliable.
Most providers set backups and forget. We test monthly and provide documentation proving your data is recoverable.
Your recovery objectives are documented, communicated, and built into the plan — no guessing when disaster strikes.
We protect every layer of your environment — local servers, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS data.
Our BDR services cover on-premises servers, cloud workloads, endpoints, and SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 — with tested recovery plans for each.
Backup is the process of copying data to protect against loss. Disaster recovery is the broader plan for restoring systems, applications, and operations after a major disruption like ransomware, hardware failure, or natural disaster.
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you need systems back online. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data loss is acceptable. IT HQ defines both based on your business needs.
We perform scheduled recovery tests monthly and document results. This ensures your backups are actually recoverable — not just running — when you need them most.
Yes. Microsoft’s native retention policies are limited. We provide third-party backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams to ensure full data protection and recoverability.
