Backup and Recovery Services
Backups that restore when it matters.
NDLS helps you protect critical systems and data with backups you can trust, plus a clear recovery plan for outages, mistakes, and ransomware.
- ✓ Verified backups and monitoring
- ✓ Retention planning that fits your business
- ✓ Recovery testing so you know the path back
Backups are only useful if restores are fast and predictable.
Common issues
Most backup problems show up during the restore.
We focus on the things that break recovery: gaps in coverage, unclear retention, and untested restores.
Backups are not verified
Jobs look green, but no one confirms the data can actually be restored.
Ransomware risk
If backups are reachable from infected systems, they can be encrypted too.
Retention is unclear
Short retention leaves you exposed. Long retention without a plan can get expensive fast.
Sync is mistaken for backup
Cloud sync helps access files, but it does not always protect against deletion or malicious changes.
Restores take too long
Recovery time depends on backup method, bandwidth, and knowing what to restore first.
No recovery runbook
When something happens, the team needs a plan, not guesswork.
What's included
Coverage, retention, and a tested restore path.
The goal is not just to have backups. It is to know what is protected, how far back you can go, and how quickly you can recover.
Included services
- ✓ Backup configuration for servers and key workstations
- ✓ Retention planning (short-term recovery plus longer-term archives)
- ✓ Monitoring and alerting so failures are caught quickly
- ✓ Restore testing for critical systems and files
- ✓ Recovery planning for incidents and ransomware
- ✓ Documentation: what is backed up and how to restore
Approach
Backup, verify, restore.
Backup
Define what matters, then protect it with the right method and schedule.
Verify
Monitor results and run restore tests so backup success is not guesswork.
Restore
Prioritize what to bring back first and document steps to reduce downtime.
FAQs
Questions we hear often.
We will help you choose a plan that matches your risk and your budget.
Is cloud sync the same as backup?
Not always. Sync helps access files across devices, but it may not protect you from all types of deletion, corruption, or malicious changes.
How often should we test restores?
At least for critical systems and key datasets. Restore testing is what turns backups into predictable recovery.
Can you protect backups from ransomware?
Yes. We design backup storage and access controls to reduce the chance backups are impacted during an incident.
What do we back up first?
We start with what keeps your business running: servers, line-of-business apps, and the data that would hurt most to lose.
