Backups you can restore from, and a plan for the bad day.
Offsite backup and disaster recovery, set up and tested by people you can call.
What backup and disaster recovery means
Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is knowing how to get your business running again when something fails: a dead server, ransomware, a flood or an accidental deletion. A backup nobody has tested is a hope, not a plan.
We set up backups that are stored offsite, so a problem at your location does not take your copy with it. We also write down the recovery steps, decide with you how quickly each system needs to come back, and check that the backups actually restore. Our backup platform is Acronis.
What you get
Offsite backup
Your important data is copied away from your office and protected with encryption, so fire, theft or failure on site does not end the story.
Backup monitoring
We watch for failed or skipped jobs so you do not discover a gap on the worst possible day.
A written recovery plan
Which systems come back first, who does what, and who to call, on paper before you need it.
Restore testing
We test restores on a schedule so you know the backups work.
Ransomware resilience
Backups kept separate from your everyday network, so an attack on your computers is less likely to reach them.
Who it fits
- Businesses whose backup is a drive on a shelf or a job nobody has checked in a year.
- Offices that depend on one server or a single line-of-business application.
- Companies that need to show customers, insurers or regulators that backup is handled.
- Anyone who has lost data once and does not want a second time.
How Tektel works
We act as your advisor. We start with a simple question: if everything stopped tonight, what would you need first tomorrow? The answers shape the plan, because not every system needs the same speed of recovery.
We build the backup, set up monitoring and test a restore with you watching. Then we revisit the plan when your business changes. When something goes wrong, you call us and reach a real person who already knows what is backed up and where.
Where AI fits
Backup is not where AI shines, but it matters if you plan to use AI tools. They are only as useful as the data they can reach, and a clean, protected, restorable data set is the starting point. If you are weighing AI options, ask us about it on our AI page.
What a backup project looks like
First call: we ask what you could not do without if everything stopped. Review: we look at what you back up today, where it goes and whether it has ever been restored. Plan: we write down what to protect, how often and which systems come back first. Setup: we build the backups and monitoring remotely. Ongoing support: we watch for failed jobs, test restores on a schedule and update the plan when your business changes. You always know what is protected and who to call.
How is backup different from disaster recovery?
Backup is the copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and tools to get systems running again using it. You need both.
How often are backups taken?
It depends on the system and how much data you can afford to lose. We agree on a schedule with you and document it.
Can you back up cloud data too?
Yes. Cloud and Microsoft 365 data can be protected as well, and we will tell you what is covered.
Do you need to be on site?
No. Setup, monitoring and restore testing are handled remotely.
