Backup and Disaster Recovery Services in Stamford, CT
A failed server, a burst pipe or a ransomware attack shouldn't decide whether your business survives the week. We make sure your data is safe and your team can get back to work fast.
Keep Your Stamford Business Running When Something Fails
Your Tech Team provides backup and disaster recovery services for Stamford, CT businesses, from downtown offices and Harbor Point to firms along High Ridge and Long Ridge Roads. We back up the data your business runs on, keep copies where a single failure or attack can't reach them, and test that they actually restore. Then we plan, with you, how your business keeps working when something goes wrong. Most businesses only find out their backups don't work on the day they need them. A backup job failed months ago and nobody noticed. The only copy sat on the same server that crashed. Ransomware encrypted the backup drive along with everything else. Our job is to make sure that day never surprises you. Backup is also part of being cybersecurity-first. Clean, protected copies of your data are often what lets a business recover from an attack without paying a ransom.
What's the Difference Between Backup and Disaster Recovery?
Backup is a copy of your data: files, email, databases and system images, saved on a schedule.
Disaster recovery is the plan and the tools for getting your business running again after a major failure. It answers questions a backup alone can't: which systems come back first, how long that takes, where people work in the meantime and who makes the calls.
You need both. A backup without a recovery plan can still leave you down for days. A recovery plan without reliable backups has nothing to recover.

How Our Disaster Recovery Services Work
Find out what matters most.
We start with your business, not the hardware. Which systems stop work if they go down? How much data can you afford to lose: an hour, a day? How fast do you need to be back? These answers set your recovery targets: RTO (recovery time) and RPO (recovery point).
Build the right backups
We match backup frequency, storage and retention to those targets, using the 3-2-1 approach: three copies of your data, on two types of storage, with at least one copy kept off-site and out of reach of your network.
Watch every backup
Backup jobs fail quietly. We monitor them closely and fix failures, so a problem gets caught in days, rather than discovered during an emergency.
Test restores
A backup you haven't restored is a guess. We regularly restore files and systems to prove the data is there and to confirm how long recovery really takes.
Recover when it counts
When something fails, we restore in the order your plan sets, keep you updated and get your team working again.
What We Back Up
Computers and Servers
We back up servers and key workstations, including full system images where they make sense. That way, a failed machine can be rebuilt quickly instead of reinstalled from scratch.
Microsoft 365 Email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams
Microsoft keeps its service running, but protecting your data inside it is largely your responsibility. Deleted mailboxes, overwritten files and ransomware that syncs to OneDrive can all cost you work. A separate Microsoft 365 backup gives you a copy you control. It pairs naturally with our Microsoft 365 migration and support.
Files, Databases and Business Applications
Shared drives, accounting data, client records and the line-of-business software your team relies on are all included in the plan. We confirm what each system needs before we set anything up.
Offsite and Cloud Copies
We follow the 3-2-1 approach: at least three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one kept offsite. At least one copy is kept separate from your network so ransomware can't reach it.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning
Technology is only part of recovery. A business continuity plan covers the rest: who decides what, how staff and clients are told, where people work if the office is closed, and which vendors to call. We help you write that plan, keep it short enough to use, and review it as your business changes. That planning is part of our IT consulting and virtual CIO work.
Stamford businesses have real reasons to plan. The city sits on Long Island Sound, and storms like Sandy in 2012 brought coastal flooding and days-long power outages to the area. Waterfront neighborhoods such as the South End, Shippan and Harbor Point sit right on the water, and a burst pipe or building issue can close a downtown office overnight. The federal Ready Business program offers free planning guides, and NIST SP 800-34 sets out the contingency planning approach many IT teams use as a reference.
When the Disaster Is a Cyber Attack
Ransomware is now one of the most common reasons businesses need their backups. Attackers often go after backup files first, which is why we keep at least one copy separate from your network. CISA's #StopRansomware Guide makes offline, encrypted backups one of its first recommendations.
But restoring data is only one step after an attack. Before anything gets restored, the threat has to be contained and the way in has to be found and closed, or the attacker can simply return. That work belongs to our cyber incident response team, which takes over during an active attack and hands off to recovery once systems are safe.
If you think you're under attack right now, don't wait. Call (203) 883-0000 and see how our incident response process works.

Backup and Disaster Recovery FAQs
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
Keep at least three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy offsite. Many businesses now add one more step: keep at least one copy offline or unchangeable so ransomware can't encrypt it. We set up backups this way so a single failure, fire or attack can't take out every copy.
How often should backups be tested?
Often enough that you'd catch a problem before you need the backup. Backup jobs should be monitored continuously, and restores should be tested on a regular schedule, along with after any major system change. A restore test also tells you how long recovery really takes, which is the number that matters on a bad day.
What are RTO and RPO?
Recovery time objective (RTO) is how long you can afford to be down. Recovery point objective (RPO) is how much recent data you can afford to lose, measured in time. A firm that can lose an hour of work but must be back by noon needs a different setup than one that can wait a day. We set both with you before choosing tools.
Does Microsoft back up our Microsoft 365 data?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but protecting your data is largely your responsibility. Retention settings help, but they aren't a full backup you control. A separate Microsoft 365 backup lets you restore deleted mailboxes, files and Teams data, even after ransomware or an accidental mass delete.
Can backups protect us from ransomware?
Good backups let you recover your data without paying a ransom, as long as at least one copy is out of the attacker's reach. Backups don't stop the attack or remove the attacker, though. That takes incident response and layered cybersecurity, which work alongside your backups.
How much do backup and disaster recovery services cost?
It depends on how much data you have, how many systems need protecting and how fast you need to recover. A firm that must be back within an hour needs more than one that can wait a day. We'll recommend the right setup and explain the cost after a short introductory call.
