Data Backup & Disaster Recovery for Texas Businesses
Data backup you can actually restore from.
A backup you've never tested is a hope, not a plan. Defcor builds business-grade backups and a tested disaster recovery plan — so a ransomware hit or a failed server is an inconvenience, not the end of your business.
Configured and monitored remotely, with restore testing scheduled rather than assumed.
Most Texas small businesses have something called a backup. Very few have a backup they can restore from, under pressure, in the time their business can survive without its data. The difference only matters on the worst day you'll have — and that's exactly the day it has to work.
Defcor treats backup and disaster recovery as the insurance policy it is: business-grade, encrypted, stored off-site and isolated from the systems it protects, and — most importantly — tested. We don't just set it and walk away; we run real restores, on a schedule, and we hand you the results.
What it is
Recovery you've proven, not promised.
Backup and disaster recovery is the practice of copying your data so it survives hardware failure, ransomware, theft, fire, and human error — and being able to bring it back quickly. It's two parts: the backups themselves, and the recovery plan that says who does what, in what order, when the worst happens.
We build both. Local backups for fast day-to-day restores, off-site and immutable copies that ransomware can't reach, and a written recovery plan with your real systems in it. Then we test the plan, because an untested recovery plan is just a document.
How it works
From unprotected to recoverable.
- 01
Assess & design
We map what matters — servers, files, email, line-of-business apps — and define recovery objectives that match how long your business can actually afford to be down.
- 02
Back up & isolate
We deploy business-grade backups with local copies for speed and off-site, immutable copies that ransomware and a bad actor can't touch.
- 03
Test & prove
On a schedule we run real restores and document the results, so when it counts you already know it works.
What you get
A recovery plan that holds up on the worst day.
3-2-1 protection
Multiple copies on different media, with at least one off-site and isolated — the standard that survives the failures that take out single copies.
Immutable & isolated
Off-site backups ransomware can't encrypt or delete — your last line of defense when the live systems are compromised.
Fast local restores
Local copies mean day-to-day restores take minutes, not the hours an off-site-only restore can take.
Tested restores
We run real restores on a schedule and show you the results — so recovery is proven, not assumed.
Written recovery plan
A documented runbook for your real systems: who does what, in what order, to get you back running inside your downtime tolerance.
Ransomware response
If the worst happens, we isolate, restore from clean copies, and bring you back — without paying a ransom.
Who it's for
Texas businesses whose data is the business.
Healthcare & dental
Practices where patient records, imaging, and scheduling data are regulated and irreplaceable — and where downtime means canceled appointments and real harm.
Professional services
Law, accounting, and engineering firms whose matter files, client data, and work product are the deliverable — and the liability.
Construction & trades
Project files, bids, drawings, and schedules that represent weeks of work and revenue — gone in a hardware failure without real backups.
Retail & hospitality
Inventory, POS, and customer data where a multi-day outage means lost sales and damaged reputation you can't get back.
The difference
Defcor backup & DR vs. consumer-grade backups.
| Compare | Defcor backup & DR | Consumer / DIY backup |
|---|---|---|
| Off-site, isolated copies | Yes, immutable | Often on the same device |
| Ransomware resistance | Built in | Usually compromised too |
| Tested restores | On a schedule, documented | Almost never tested |
| Recovery objectives | Defined to your business | Best-effort |
| Recovery plan | Written, rehearsed | In someone's head |
| When it fails | We fix it before it matters | You find out on the worst day |
Case in point
A Dallas accounting firm's ransomware near-miss.
A Dallas accounting firm was backing up to a single external drive plugged into the same server it protected — a setup that's nearly worthless against ransomware. When an attacker got in, the live data and the backup were encrypted together. The firm was hours from losing an entire tax season.
Defcor was brought in to recover and rebuild. We isolated the breach, restored the firm's data from a clean off-site copy we'd helped them stand up, and rebuilt their environment with proper 3-2-1 backup, immutable off-site storage, and a tested recovery plan. They were back to billing inside two days — and they never want to feel that hour again.
Questions
The things owners actually ask.
At least three copies of your data, on two different media, with at least one off-site. We add an immutable, isolated copy so ransomware can't reach your last line of defense.
On a schedule tuned to your data — typically at least monthly for critical systems. Every test is documented so you have proof your recovery works, not just a promise.
Backups are your primary ransomware defense: if your live systems are encrypted, you restore from clean, isolated copies instead of paying a ransom. We design them specifically for that scenario.
It depends on your data and objectives — we define recovery time objectives that match how long your business can afford to be down, then engineer to meet them. Local restores of common failures are minutes; full-site recovery is planned, not improvised.
Yes. Microsoft 365 has shared responsibility — they protect the service, but accidental deletion and corruption are on you. We back up email, files, and SharePoint so your cloud data is recoverable too.
Pricing scales with the data you're protecting and your recovery objectives. After a quick assessment we give you a written quote that matches the risk — and the value of avoiding it.
Yes. A backup audit is one of the most valuable things a Texas business can do. We'll assess what you have, run a test restore, and tell you plainly whether it would actually save you.
