Backup & Disaster Recovery
When something goes wrong, your data should be safe and your business back up and running fast. CoTech Networks sets up reliable, secure backup and recovery for Long Island businesses, so a crash, mistake, or ransomware attack doesn’t become a disaster.
Why Backup & Recovery Matters
Your business data, including client records, financials, emails, and files, is one of your most valuable assets. Hardware fails, files get deleted, laptops get lost, and ransomware can lock up an entire business overnight.
Many businesses believe they’re backed up until the day they need to restore. Backups that were never tested, stored on the same device, or connected to an infected network can fail exactly when you need them most.
A real backup and disaster recovery plan means your data is copied automatically, stored safely in more than one place, protected from ransomware, and tested, so you know you can get it back.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
We build backup systems around the proven 3-2-1 approach used by IT professionals:
- 3 copies of your important data
- 2 different types of storage, such as a local device and the cloud
- 1 copy kept offsite, so a fire, flood, theft, or ransomware attack can’t wipe out everything
Signs Your Backups Need Attention
- You’re not sure if your data is being backed up at all
- Your only backup is an external drive that’s always plugged in
- No one has ever tested restoring files from your backups
- Your email and cloud files (like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) aren’t backed up
- You don’t have a plan for what happens if your main computer or server fails
- A ransomware attack would bring your business to a stop

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t cloud storage like OneDrive or Google Drive already a backup?
Not exactly. Sync services copy changes, including deletions and ransomware-encrypted files. A true backup keeps separate, versioned copies you can restore from.
How often should backups run?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Many businesses back up daily or more often. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Can you recover my data if I’ve already lost it?
It depends on the situation. Contact us right away and avoid using the affected device. The best protection is having reliable backups before something happens.
Do you back up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Yes. Email, calendars, and cloud files can be backed up separately so they can be restored if something is deleted or compromised.
How much does backup and disaster recovery cost?
It depends on how much data you have and how quickly you need to recover. We start with a free consultation and give you a clear quote.
