Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups only matter if they actually work when you need them. PXLA builds and tests backup and recovery plans so your business can bounce back from the unexpected.

Overview

Backup and disaster recovery protects the data your business can't afford to lose — email, files, databases, and systems — and defines exactly how you'd recover them if something went wrong.

That covers real situations like an employee accidentally deleting an important folder, a server failing without warning, or a ransomware attack encrypting files across the network.

PXLA sets up layered backups across the systems that matter and schedules periodic recovery testing, so backups are verified rather than assumed to be working.

Why It Matters

Data Protection

Critical files and systems are recoverable, not just hoped-for.

Faster Recovery

A tested plan means less guessing during an actual emergency.

Ransomware Resilience

Clean backups reduce the leverage an attacker has over your business.

Reduced Downtime

Recovery time is planned for instead of figured out under pressure.

Peace of Mind

Confidence that a bad day doesn't have to become a business-ending one.

Common Problems We Solve

Not sure whether current backups would actually restore correctly
Accidentally deleted an important file or folder
Worried about ransomware locking up business data
No plan for what happens if the server fails
Backups only cover some systems, not everything critical
Recovery would take too long if something went wrong today

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are our backups tested?

PXLA schedules periodic recovery testing so backups are verified as restorable, rather than assumed to be working until they're needed.

Does Microsoft 365 need a separate backup?

Yes. Microsoft's built-in retention isn't a full backup. A dedicated Microsoft 365 backup protects against accidental deletion, corruption, and certain security incidents.

How quickly could our business recover from ransomware?

Recovery time depends on what's affected and how backups are structured. PXLA designs recovery plans with clear, realistic recovery time expectations.

What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup is the copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and process for restoring systems and operations using that backup after an incident.

Do you back up physical servers as well as cloud data?

Yes. PXLA backs up on-premises servers, cloud services, and endpoints as part of a layered backup strategy.
