Data Protection & Disaster Recovery
Your Data Survives. Your Business Continues.
Encrypted backups, immutable storage, and tested disaster recovery plans — so ransomware, hardware failure, or natural disasters don't mean game over for your business.
Hope Is Not a Backup Strategy
Every 11 seconds, a business gets hit by ransomware. The average downtime after an attack is 22 days. 60% of small businesses that lose their data shut down within 6 months. These aren't scare tactics — they're statistics. And they're why 'we have backups somewhere' isn't good enough.
Miller Cyber Technologies implements a comprehensive data protection strategy: automated encrypted backups with immutable storage that ransomware can't touch, point-in-time recovery with 5-minute granularity, and geo-redundant replication so a regional disaster doesn't take your data with it.
But backups are only half the equation. We build and test disaster recovery plans so your team knows exactly what to do when something goes wrong. Annual DR drills prove your recovery works — before you actually need it.
What's Included
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Set-and-forget backup schedules with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. Covers servers, workstations, cloud services, and SaaS applications.
Ransomware-proof storage that can't be modified or deleted — even by an attacker with admin credentials. Your last line of defense is unbreakable.
Documented procedures for every disaster scenario: ransomware, hardware failure, natural disaster, key person loss. Your team knows the playbook before they need it.
Restore to any point within your retention window with 5-minute granularity. Recover a single file, a whole server, or your entire environment.
Data replicated to geographically separated data centers. A tornado, flood, or fire at your primary location doesn't touch your backups.
We don't just write the plan — we test it. Annual disaster recovery drills validate your RTO/RPO and identify gaps before a real event exposes them.
How It Works
From assessment to ongoing management — a clear, proven process.
Data Audit
We inventory every data source, classify by criticality, and identify what's currently protected (and what isn't).
Design & Deploy
Architect a backup strategy tailored to your RTO/RPO requirements and compliance obligations. Deploy agents and configure schedules.
Monitor & Verify
Daily backup verification, automated integrity checks, and alerting for any failures. We know your backups work because we verify them every day.
Test & Improve
Annual DR drills, quarterly backup restores, and continuous improvement based on lessons learned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to restore from a disaster?
Our standard RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is under 1 hour for critical systems. Full environment recovery depends on data volume, but most clients are operational within 4-8 hours. We'll define your specific RTO/RPO during planning and test it annually.
Are backups compliant with HIPAA/PCI-DSS?
Yes. All backups are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and in transit. Access is logged and role-restricted. Retention policies meet or exceed regulatory requirements. We provide the documentation your auditors need.
What about our cloud/SaaS data (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace)?
Microsoft and Google's built-in retention is limited and not a true backup. We deploy third-party backup solutions that protect your email, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Google Workspace data with point-in-time restore capabilities.
Can ransomware encrypt our backups?
Not with immutable storage. Our backup architecture uses write-once-read-many (WORM) storage that cannot be modified or deleted, even by someone with admin credentials. This is specifically designed to defeat ransomware encryption of backup data.
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is having copies of your data. Disaster recovery is having a tested plan to get your business running again using those copies. We provide both: the technical infrastructure for data protection and the documented, tested procedures for recovery.
