Servers fail. People delete things. Ransomware happens. The question isn’t “if,” it’s how fast you can recover and how much you lose when it does.
Quantum Shield IT designs business-grade backup and disaster recovery so you can turn a crisis into a manageable event.
Protecting Servers, Endpoints, and Cloud Workloads
We design BDR around RTO (how long you can be down) and RPO (how much data you can
afford to lose):
– Servers and critical applications
– Key endpoints for leadership and operations
– Microsoft 365 data — Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams
Our security stack lets us roll back many ransomware and malware events at the endpoint layer, while backups provide a second recovery path. Together, this drastically reduces downtime, rebuilds, and guesswork.
Tested, Documented, and Integrated With Incident Response
We don’t consider backup “done” just because jobs show green:
– Documented recovery plans that non-technical leaders can understand
– Periodic recovery tests to validate RTO/RPO in the real world
– Integration with security incident response processes and communication plans
Backup frequency depends on your Recovery Point Objective (RPO). For many clients,
that means backing up critical systems multiple times per day, with less critical systems on
a daily schedule. We’ll define RPOs together based on how much data you can realistically
afford to lose.
We use secure, offsite storage locations with strong encryption and access controls. The
exact design depends on your environment—but the principle is the same: backup data is
isolated from primary systems to reduce risk from ransomware or hardware failures.
Part of our BDR program is regular restore testing. That means actually restoring files,
systems, or test workloads and validating that they come back correctly within the expected
time windows.
We combine endpoint rollback (where possible) with backup restores to minimize data
loss and downtime. The exact playbook depends on the environment, but you’re not stuck
choosing between “pay a ransom” or “start over.”
Properly designed backups are scheduled and tuned to avoid peak usage and minimize
performance impact. During onboarding, we adjust backup windows and resource usage to
fit your environment.
