Backup & Disaster Recovery — Southern California

Backup is the control that assumes an attack succeeds.

Every security control exists to stop an incident. Backup is what saves you when one gets through — ransomware, a failed drive, a deleted file, or simple human error. But a backup you've never tested, or one an attacker can reach with the same login that got them in, isn't protection. TNS designs, manages, monitors, and regularly tests backup and recovery across everything your business runs on: on-premises servers, Microsoft 365, and Azure workloads.

What we deliver

What we deliver.

On-premises workloads

Image-level backup of your physical and virtual servers to a local appliance for fast restores, plus an encrypted offsite copy for disaster-proof recovery.

Image-level server backup for full-system restore
Fast local recovery from an on-site repository
Encrypted offsite cloud copy for disaster recovery
Workstation backup where covered

Microsoft 365

Microsoft runs a shared-responsibility model: they keep the platform running, but your data is your responsibility. Native retention is not a backup and won't reliably recover you from ransomware or malicious deletion.

Exchange Online mail backup
OneDrive and SharePoint data
Teams data protection
Recovery from deletion, corruption, and ransomware

Azure & cloud workloads

Cloud doesn't mean automatically backed up. We protect the servers and applications you run in Azure with the same rigor as on-premises systems.

Azure server and application workload backup
Cloud-to-cloud protection
Consistent policy across cloud and on-prem
Coverage confirmed workload by workload

Line-of-business & SaaS apps

The applications your business depends on need protection confirmed individually — because assuming you're covered is how businesses discover, too late, that they weren't.

Coverage confirmed application by application
Vendor-native backup or export where required
Gaps identified and flagged, not assumed away
Documented protection per application

Recovery assurance

A backup an attacker can't destroy.

Modern ransomware hunts for and deletes backups before it encrypts anything. A backup reachable with the same credentials that let the attacker in is not a backup. Design matters as much as coverage.

Immutable & retention-locked copies

Where the platform supports it, recovery points can't be altered or deleted — so an attacker with domain-admin rights still can't destroy your ability to recover.

Separated credentials

Backup infrastructure doesn't authenticate with the same admin accounts as production, so one compromised account can't take down both your systems and your recovery.

Monitored every day

Backup success and failure is an alert worked by our team — not something checked only when someone happens to remember. A silently failing backup is caught fast.

Verified with test restores

We perform periodic test restores and report the results. An untested backup is an assumption, not a recovery plan.

Recovery objectives

RPO and RTO, defined before you need them.

Two numbers determine what a real outage costs you. We set them per system, in writing, before an incident — so expectations are agreed in advance rather than argued during a crisis.

RPO — Recovery Point Objective

How much data you can afford to lose, measured in time. An RPO of one hour means backups run often enough that you'd lose at most an hour of work. We set the backup frequency to match the RPO each system actually needs.

RTO — Recovery Time Objective

How quickly a system must be back online. A critical server might have an RTO of a few hours; a secondary system might tolerate a day. We design the recovery approach — local, cloud, or failover — to meet the RTO each system requires.

What's included

What you get with Backup & Disaster Recovery.

Coverage across everything

On-premises servers, Microsoft 365, Azure, and line-of-business apps — protected under one consistent, managed strategy instead of a patchwork you hope adds up.

Ransomware-resilient by design

Immutable, credential-separated backups mean an attacker who gets domain-admin rights still can't delete your recovery points along with your data.

Monitored, not assumed

Every backup job is watched daily. Failures are caught and worked immediately — not discovered the moment you actually need to restore.

Tested recovery

We run periodic verification restores and report the results, so you know your backups actually work before a real incident puts them to the test.

Written RPO and RTO

Your real recovery objectives are agreed per system and documented, so there are no surprises about how much data or time is at stake during an outage.

A recovery partner, not just software

When something goes wrong, you're not alone with a console. Our team leads the recovery, keeps you informed, and gets your business back to work.

How it works

Simple to get started.

Assess & design

We inventory what needs protecting across on-prem, Microsoft 365, and cloud, confirm coverage application by application, and set RPO and RTO per system in writing.

Deploy & protect

We implement immutable, credential-separated backups with local and encrypted offsite copies, and bring every job under daily monitoring.

Monitor, test & recover

We watch backups every day, run periodic verification restores, and when something goes wrong, lead the recovery to meet your objectives.

The result

What this means for your business.

Confidence that a bad day won't become a lost business
Recovery from ransomware without paying a ransom
Protection across on-prem, Microsoft 365, and cloud
Backups that are proven to work — not just assumed to
