Backups that are actually restorable
Half the backup systems we inherit have been failing silently for months — nobody noticed because nobody tested. XOtavo builds layered backup: workstations, servers, and Microsoft 365 data protected on schedules that match how fast your business changes, with restores verified as part of our monitoring, not assumed. When you need a file from Tuesday or a server from before the incident, it is there.
Ransomware changes the math
Modern attackers target backups first — encrypt the copies, then demand payment for the originals. Our designs assume that: immutable and offsite copies attackers cannot reach, separation between production credentials and backup credentials, and a written recovery runbook so the worst day has a script. Paired with our Defender and Huntress security stack, you get both a lower chance of the bad day and a faster path out of it.
Continuity is more than data
A recovered server is useless if the office has no internet and the phones are down. Our business continuity planning covers the whole picture: failover internet including Starlink satellite backup, cloud phone systems that reroute in minutes, and priorities agreed in advance — which systems come back first, who decides, who calls whom. We test it with you, then we monitor it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should backups run?
It depends how much work you can afford to lose. Critical databases may back up continuously; file servers nightly; Microsoft 365 daily. We set recovery-point targets per system with you, then verify them.
Do you back up Microsoft 365 email and files?
Yes — Microsoft's built-in retention is not backup. We add true backup for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data with independent retention.
What is a disaster recovery test?
A scheduled rehearsal: restore real systems to a sandbox, time it, find the gaps, update the runbook. We recommend at least annual tests — most businesses have never done one.
Can Starlink really serve as failover internet?
Yes — for most businesses, satellite failover keeps cloud apps, phones, and payments alive during a fiber cut. We install and integrate it so failover is automatic, not a scramble.
