Backup & Disaster Recovery San Francisco

💾 Backup & Disaster Recovery San Francisco

When It Breaks in San Francisco, How Fast Are You Back?

Ransomware on a Tuesday. A PSPS power shutoff during closing week. A deleted mailbox discovered in discovery. The city on two fault lines understands risk better than most — yet most SF businesses have backups they’ve never once tried to restore. We build recovery you can prove: tested restores, written recovery times, and a plan that survives contact with a real bad day.

  • Recovery objectives in writing — hours and minutes, agreed with leadership
  • Immutable backups ransomware can’t encrypt or delete
  • Microsoft 365 and SaaS data backed up independently
  • Restore tests on a schedule, with results you see
  • Recovery guaranteed in writing — business resumes in hours, not weeks

Continuity Planning With a Bay Area Accent

Recovery planning here has local texture: infrastructure that shouldn’t share fault lines with your office, plans that account for PSPS shutoff seasons, transit-dependent staff who may not reach the office your plan assumes, and the FiDi high-rise variable of building access during an emergency. We’ve planned around all of it for clients from Union Square to South San Francisco.

Our San Francisco office at 27 Maiden Ln runs the relationship — testing schedules, quarterly reviews, and the 3 AM response when a restore can’t wait. And because the same team handles day-to-day IT support, recovery isn’t a binder on a shelf; it’s muscle memory in the operation that already runs your systems.

  • Recovery infrastructure geographically independent of the Bay
  • PSPS and seismic scenarios built into runbooks
  • High-rise, lab, and multi-site recovery experience
  • Coverage across SF, Oakland, the Peninsula, and beyond

The Continuity Stack

Backup Is a Product. Recovery Is a Practice.

Every layer monitored, every restore path tested — because the only backup that matters is the one that comes back.

Immutable Backup
Copies that can’t be encrypted, altered, or deleted — by ransomware or by anyone. The reason our clients never negotiate with attackers; see our San Francisco security services.
Server & Endpoint Protection
On-prem servers, cloud workloads, and the laptops scattered across the Bay — captured on schedules that match how fast your data changes.
Microsoft 365 & SaaS Backup
Mail, SharePoint, Teams, and critical SaaS data backed up outside the vendor’s own cloud — because retention is not recovery. Pairs with our M365 services.
Rapid Recovery Infrastructure
Failover options sized to your tolerance — from next-morning restores to systems running virtually while your hardware is still smoking.
Scheduled Restore Testing
Real restores run on a calendar, timed against your written objectives, with results in your quarterly review. Faith-based backup ends here.
Runbooks & Communication Plans
Who declares the incident, who calls clients, what comes back first — written, assigned, and rehearsed with your leadership.

Recovery Questions

Backup & Disaster Recovery FAQ

Asked by SF managing partners, controllers, and founders — usually right after a near miss.

We have backups. Isn’t that enough?
Backups you haven’t restored from are a hypothesis. The questions that matter: are copies immutable, are they off your network, how fast does a full restore actually run, and does anyone test it? If any answer is “not sure,” that’s the readiness check.
What do RTO and RPO mean, and why do you keep saying them?
Recovery Time Objective: how long until you’re operating. Recovery Point Objective: how much recent data you can lose. They’re the two numbers that turn “we back things up” into an actual commitment — and they belong in writing before the bad day.
Can ransomware really encrypt backups?
It’s standard attacker playbook: find and destroy backups first, then encrypt production, then demand payment. Immutable, access-isolated copies are the counter — they take ransomware’s leverage away.
Does Microsoft 365 need separate backup?
Yes. Microsoft keeps the service running; restoring your deleted mailbox, ransomware-hit SharePoint, or a departed employee’s files on your timeline is your responsibility. Independent M365 backup is standard in every continuity design we build.
What does the earthquake scenario actually change?
Geography. Your recovery infrastructure, documentation, and communication plan must all work when the region — power, transit, offices — is disrupted at once. Ours live outside the Bay Area for exactly that reason.
How often should we test?
Quarterly restore tests for critical systems, a full recovery exercise annually, and after any major infrastructure change. We run them on the calendar and report results — the test you skip is the one that would have caught it.
