Business backup and disaster recovery - Oak Brook, IL

Business backup with a clear path to recovery.

Copies of your data matter when your team can get back to work. Dantech helps businesses identify critical systems, protect the right data, monitor backup health and plan the steps to recover from deletion, equipment failure or a larger outage.

Laptop and external storage on an office desk
Protection scope

Know what is included, and what is not.

We start with the systems your business uses and the data each holds. The backup design then specifies what is protected, how often copies are made, where they are stored and how long they are kept.

Servers and virtual machines

Protect relevant workloads and data, with recovery options matched to how the server is used and how long the business can be without it.

Business computers

Identify the laptops and desktops that hold important local data, then determine whether file, image or other protection belongs in the plan.

Microsoft 365 data

Review Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and other data needs against native recovery options and any additional backup requirements.

Applications and databases

Account for application-specific data and dependencies so a restore includes what the business process actually needs.

Storage and access

Choose appropriate local, offsite or cloud destinations and access controls. Isolation and immutability options depend on the selected platform and scope.

Monitoring and follow-up

Review backup status, investigate failed jobs and adjust coverage when devices, users or systems change.

Recovery planning

Recovery takes more than a successful job.

A backup status tells you whether a job ran. A recovery plan tells your team what to restore first, who makes decisions and how to check that the result works.

Prioritize

Identify essential systems and agree on the amount of data loss and downtime the business can tolerate. These targets guide the design; actual recovery depends on the incident and tested capabilities.

Document

Record the restore path, credentials and dependencies, vendor contacts and decisions needed when normal systems are unavailable.

Test

Perform scoped restore checks to verify that selected files or workloads can be recovered. The test schedule and depth are part of the service plan.

Maintain

Revisit the plan as servers, software, staff and data volumes change. A backup that has never been updated may miss a new critical system.

Ways to engage

Start with the gap you need to close.

Backup review

For a business that wants to know whether its current setup covers the right systems and can support a restore.

  • Inventory and current-state review
  • Coverage and retention gaps
  • Recovery priorities
  • Recommended next steps

Implementation project

For a new or revised backup setup with defined workloads, storage, access and handoff.

  • Design and platform selection
  • Configuration and documentation
  • Initial restore checks
  • Staff handoff

Ongoing management

For organizations that want someone responsible for following up on backup health and changes over time.

  • Monitoring and investigation
  • Coverage updates
  • Scheduled restore testing
  • Recovery plan review

The proposal defines the protected systems, retention, testing, response responsibilities and third-party costs. Backup and recovery can be a focused project or part of a broader Managed IT relationship.

Common questions

Before there is an outage.

Does Microsoft 365 already protect our data?

Microsoft 365 has service resilience, retention and recovery features, and Microsoft offers a separate backup product. We review the data, required restore points and retention needs before recommending additional coverage.

Can backup protect us from ransomware?

Backup is one part of recovery after an attack. Access controls, separated or immutable copies where available, monitoring and tested restore steps can improve resilience. No backup design prevents every attack or guarantees zero downtime.

How often will you test restores?

The frequency and type of test are agreed in the project or support plan. A file restore, a server recovery and a full business exercise answer different questions and require different effort.

How quickly can we recover?

That depends on the affected systems, the amount of data, available hardware and connectivity, and the recovery method. We define targets during planning and validate assumptions through appropriate tests rather than promise a time before assessment.

Can you take over our existing backup system?

We can assess its configuration, licensing, storage, job history and restore process. If it remains suitable, we can discuss management; if not, we will explain the gaps and options.
