Critical Business Applications
Accounting systems, industry applications, and the databases behind them.
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Backup is more than copying files.
Different systems need different protection. A useful plan considers both the information and the work that depends on it.
- What is backed up, and how often?
- Where are copies stored, and is there an offsite copy?
- How long is information retained?
- Who knows when a backup fails?
- Has recovery been tested?
- How long can the business operate without the system?
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONS
Backup protects the data. Disaster recovery protects the business.
01
Backup
Can we get the information back? Protection focuses on the files, data, and systems that need copies.
02
Disaster Recovery
How do we get the business operating again? Recovery considers systems, dependencies, people, and the order of restoration.
A RECOVERY ORDER THAT MAKES SENSE
Bring back what matters first.
- 01
Set priorities
Identify the systems that need to come back first and what they depend on.
- 02
Define tolerances
Discuss how much information could reasonably be lost and how long each system can remain unavailable.
- 03
Plan & verify
Define recovery steps and test the ability to restore important information and systems.
ASSESS. THEN DESIGN.
Understand the gaps before choosing the solution.
Backup & Disaster Recovery is one of the eight Infrastructure Assessment categories. The $499 assessment identifies current protection, concerns, priorities, general direction, and broad planning ranges.
A Technology Modernization Plan starting at $1,499 total can define the actual backup solution, storage, retention, recovery method, architecture, and implementation requirements. Your full $499 assessment investment applies toward the plan; at the starting level, $1,000 remains.

A backup that failed six months ago isn't much of a backup.
Backup needs monitoring, maintenance, and verification. Changes to systems, storage, and business requirements can affect protection and recovery.
Coastal can continue oversight through Managed IT, with backup considered as part of the complete environment.
