Backup and disaster recovery that gets your business working again
A backup only matters if you can restore from it when something goes wrong.
Backup with a recovery plan
Backed up is good. Ready to recover is better.
Wolferdawg IT Consulting manages backup and disaster recovery for small businesses, so you know what to do next when ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion or a major outage strikes.
We monitor the backups, test recovery and document the priorities before you need them.

What your backup and recovery service includes
Protected copies, tested restores and a documented recovery plan, managed for your business.
Backup monitoring
Backup jobs are reviewed so failures can be addressed before a restore is needed.
Restore testing
Scheduled file and system restores check recovered data and recovery time. We document the results so a successful backup-job report is not your only evidence.
Ransomware-resistant recovery
Encryption, restricted access and isolated storage where possible help protect recovery copies from attackers.
Recovery planning
We document critical systems, restore order and the steps to follow during an outage.
Microsoft 365 backup
Independent copies protect your Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data.
Ongoing review
We review coverage and recovery plans as your staff, applications and systems change.
Backup protects data. Recovery restores operations.
Backup gives you a protected copy of your data.
Disaster recovery is the tested plan for bringing critical systems back online, with clear priorities and responsibilities.
Two recovery numbers worth knowing
RPO: How much recent work can your business afford to lose?
RTO: How long can a critical system be unavailable before it needs to be working again?
These targets guide backup frequency, recovery priorities and testing.
Your Microsoft 365 data needs a recovery plan too
Independent Microsoft 365 backup gives you a separate copy of email, files and Teams data when information is deleted, overwritten, compromised or lost after an employee leaves.
We manage this third-party backup alongside your other recovery needs.
Backup and disaster recovery questions answered
The questions small business owners usually ask before choosing a backup and recovery service.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup gives you a protected copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the tested plan for bringing the systems your business depends on back online after ransomware, hardware failure, or a site outage. A good recovery plan defines what gets restored first and confirms the process works before an emergency.
How do you protect backups from ransomware?
Wolferdawg IT Consulting uses encryption, restricted access, and isolated storage where possible so ransomware cannot easily reach your recovery copies. We also test restores from validated backup points so recovery does not depend on an untested file or an infected copy.
How fast can our systems be restored?
Recovery time depends on which systems are affected and how quickly your business needs them back. We identify your most important systems, set recovery priorities, and test the process so the expected recovery window is understood before an incident occurs.
Do we need to back up Microsoft 365?
Yes. Independent Microsoft 365 backup gives your business a separate recovery copy of important Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data. That helps when information is deleted, overwritten, compromised, or lost after an employee leaves.
What do RPO and RTO mean?
RPO is the amount of recent work your business can afford to lose. RTO is how long a critical system can be unavailable before it needs to be working again. We use those two targets to decide how often data should be protected and how the recovery plan should be designed and tested.
What is Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
DRaaS is a managed recovery service for businesses that need more than file backup. It combines protected copies of critical systems with a documented recovery process, defined recovery targets, and tested procedures for getting important systems running again after a major outage or cyberattack.
Is OneDrive or cloud storage the same as a backup plan?
No. Services such as OneDrive have recovery features, including version history and deleted-item recovery, but their settings and retention limits must fit your needs. Confirm which data can be restored, how far back you can go and who manages recovery. A dedicated backup service can provide a separate recovery option.
Do you know whether your backups would restore today?
We can review your backups, identify gaps and help build a recovery plan around your business.
