Backup & Disaster Recovery for Houston Businesses
When a server fails, a file disappears, or ransomware locks your network, the only question that matters is how fast you're working again. We restore deleted files in under 30 minutes and recover failed servers the same day.
Book a 20-Minute Backup Review
We'll review your current backups, identify gaps, and show you exactly how fast you could recover.
No obligation. You keep the findings either way.
What an hour of downtime actually costs you
For a Houston business running 20 to 100 people, a full outage costs somewhere between $8,000 and $25,000 an hour once you add up idle payroll, stalled invoicing, missed orders, and the customers who quietly go elsewhere. Nobody budgets for that. Everybody pays it eventually.
The uncomfortable part is that most outages aren't dramatic. A developer pushes a bad update. Someone empties a shared folder on a Friday afternoon. A drive fails in a four-year-old server. Hurricanes and floods are real risks on the Gulf Coast, but the day-to-day damage comes from small, ordinary failures — and the businesses that shrug them off are the ones with backups that actually work.
A 100-person business, back online in 30 minutes
A client's development team pushed an update that broke a production server. Work stopped for 100 people. Using onsite backup services we had already put in place, we rolled the server back and had the business running again within 30 minutes.
No data reconstructed by hand. No day lost waiting on a cloud restore. No emergency invoice for heroics. That's what a properly designed and regularly tested backup buys you: a bad afternoon instead of a bad quarter.
Two numbers decide how bad your worst day is
Every backup conversation comes down to two figures, and most providers never explain them.
RTO
Recovery Time Objective. How long until you're working again. If your RTO is four hours, a Tuesday-morning failure means you're back by lunch. If nobody has ever set an RTO for your business, the honest answer is "however long it takes," and that's usually days.
RPO
Recovery Point Objective. How much work you can afford to lose. An RPO of 15 minutes means a failure at 2:00 costs you the work done since 1:45. An RPO of 24 hours means the whole day is gone and your team retypes it.
We set both numbers with you deliberately, in writing, before anything goes wrong — then we design the backup to meet them rather than hoping it does.
What's Included
Four layers of protection, each designed for a specific failure.
File & Folder Recovery — Under 30 Minutes
Someone deletes the wrong thing. Call us and it comes back inside half an hour, without a ticket sitting in a queue overnight.
Server & System Recovery
Full image-based backup of your servers, onsite for speed and offsite for safety. Failed update, dead hardware, or corrupted database — we roll you back to the last known good state.
Ransomware Recovery
Encrypted, immutable backups your attacker cannot reach and cannot delete. Ransomware becomes a restore instead of a negotiation, which is the entire point of paying for backup. Pair this with our cybersecurity services to stop ransomware before it starts.
Backups Tested as Often as Daily
Untested backups are the industry's dirty secret — plenty of businesses discover their backup never worked on the day they need it. We verify restores on a schedule, up to daily, and tell you the result.
Straightforward Pricing
Backups start at $5 per user, per month. Server backups are quoted individually, because the cost depends on how much data you hold and how quickly you need to be back — a server with a four-hour recovery target is engineered differently from one with a next-day target.
No long onboarding fee, no per-restore charges, no bill for the day you actually need us. Ask for a quote and you get a number.
Built on Datto, Veeam, and Axcient
We're not tied to one vendor, because no single platform is right for every environment. We deploy Datto, Veeam, and Axcient, and we choose based on what you run, how fast you need to recover, and what you're willing to spend. A 12-person office with one file server and a 100-seat operation with virtualised line-of-business applications get different designs, and both get a recovery plan on paper.

Operating Partner
"A shame I can't give 100 stars! As a company owner I get to deal with many professional service companies. Andrew was something else! We had a scammer trying to go into our system and create a crazy amount of damage. Luckily I was referred to Andrew who jumped right in from the get go. He removed all the existing BS we had, added the right protection to our networks and cleaned up our system completely! … First guy in the industry who doesn't try to sell himself. His actions worth a million!"
