Backup & disaster recovery

Backups that have actually been restored.

Backup and disaster recovery from Secure Nerds covers devices, servers and Microsoft 365 or Google data, held isolated from your network and verified by scheduled test restores. A written recovery plan sets out which systems return first. Backup is included in the managed package from $1,000 per month for up to five users.

Nearly every business we take on has backups of some kind. Far fewer have ever tested a restore, and that is the only part that matters on the day it counts.

What’s included

How it works in practice.

What’s covered

More than the server

Microsoft 365 or Google data, file servers, line-of-business databases and the devices staff actually keep work on.

How it’s held

Isolated from your network

A backup reachable from an infected machine is not a backup. Copies are kept where ransomware on your network cannot reach them.

How we prove it

Test restores on a schedule

We restore real data periodically and record the result, so ‘we have backups’ is a statement with evidence behind it.

What happens next

A plan, written down

Which systems come back first, who makes the call, and roughly how long each step takes. Agreed while everyone is calm.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long would it take to get us running again?

That depends on what failed and how much data moved since the last copy. We work that out with you up front and write it into the recovery plan, so the expectation is set before there’s an incident rather than during one.

Do you keep a copy in Australia?

Yes. Data residency matters for a lot of our clients’ own obligations, and we confirm where your copies sit as part of onboarding.

What if ransomware encrypts the backups too?

That is exactly why the copies are isolated rather than sitting on a mapped drive. It is also why managed EDR and the 24/7 SOC are in the same package — the aim is to stop the encryption starting, not just to survive it.
