Backups & Disaster
Recovery That Works.

Know Your Data Is Protected.
Know You Can Get It Back.

Automated backups, verified restores, and a tested recovery plan — so that if the worst happens, your business is back up in hours, not days.

Business continuity and data protection planning

Your Business Continuity Partner

Most backup jobs show “success.” Most restores have never been tested.

A backup that hasn't been tested isn't really a backup — it's a hope. We configure automated backups, verify them on a schedule, and build a tested recovery procedure so that if you ever need it, you already know it works. No guessing during a crisis.

What Changes

Know your data is safe without having to think about it.

Backups That Actually Work

We run restore tests on a schedule — critical systems monthly, secondary data quarterly. If a restore would fail, we find it before you need it.

Ransomware Can't Touch Your Data

Air-gapped, immutable backups mean ransomware can't encrypt your recovery copies. You always have a clean version to restore from.

Back Up in Hours, Not Days

With a tested recovery procedure and the right architecture, most businesses can restore critical systems in under four hours.

Microsoft 365 Is Covered Too

M365 doesn't back up your data the way you think it does. We maintain an independent copy of your email, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive.

The Plan

Getting properly protected is simple.

Backup assessment and gap analysis
1

We audit what you have.

We look at your current backups — what's being backed up, how often, where it's stored, and whether a restore would actually succeed. Most audits find at least one gap.

Backup solution configuration and deployment
2

We close the gaps.

We configure automated backups using the 3-2-1 strategy — local, cloud, and immutable off-site. Restore tests run on a defined schedule and results are documented.

Ongoing backup monitoring and disaster recovery readiness
3

You have a plan if things go wrong.

We document your full recovery procedure — which systems to restore first, in what order, how long it takes. Monthly reports confirm everything is still working.

Client result

“We had a server failure on a Friday afternoon. ETG had us fully restored by Saturday morning. They had already tested the restore — we didn't lose a single file.”

The Case for Verified Backups

Why “the backup job ran” is not the same as “your data is safe.”

The most common finding in our backup assessments isn't that clients have no backup. It's that what they have hasn't been tested. Backup software reports “success” every night — but the restore fails because the job was configured incorrectly, the destination ran out of space months ago, or the recovery media was never updated to match the current server configuration. These problems are invisible until the moment you need to restore.

The 3-2-1 strategy addresses this at the architecture level. Three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored off-site. For most Ontario businesses this means: a local backup for fast restores, a cloud backup for off-site redundancy, and immutable cloud storage to protect against ransomware — which will attempt to encrypt everything it can reach, including backup destinations that aren't properly isolated. Immutable backups can't be modified or deleted, even by ransomware.

Disaster recovery planning is the part most businesses skip entirely. A backup gives you the data. A disaster recovery plan tells you who does what, in what order, and how long it takes. Which systems come online first? Which applications depend on each other? What's the process for re-joining workstations to the domain? Without this documented — and practiced — businesses that have perfectly good backups still spend two or three times longer recovering than necessary because the restore sequence is being figured out in real time during the incident.

“The worst time to discover your backup doesn't work is during an actual disaster. Every backup job we configure includes automated restore verification on a defined schedule — so we know it works long before you ever need it.”
