Backup & Disaster Recovery in Houston

Fast local backups so a restore takes minutes, automatically copied to a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding. So ransomware, a failed server, or a regional grid or weather event doesn't take your Houston business down.

Fast restore

A local copy nearby for quick, low-latency recovery

2nd region

A geo-separated copy in a separate region for real DR

Immutable

Ransomware-resistant copies that can't be altered or deleted

Fast because it's local, safe because it's not only local

Good backup answers two different questions. The everyday one — “someone deleted a file, a server died, restore it now” — is answered fastest by a copy that's physically close, so recovery isn't throttled by internet distance. That's the low-latency local backup.

The rare, bad-day question is different. Texas runs its own power grid (ERCOT), and the Gulf Coast piles hurricanes and catastrophic flooding on top. Hurricane Harvey flooded much of the region for days in 2017, and Winter Storm Uri knocked out power and water in 2021. Keeping a recovery copy inside the state — let alone in the flood plain — isn't real protection. So the second thing we do is automatically replicate your backup to a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding. If Houston itself has a bad day, your recovery copy is somewhere that doesn't.

  • Low-latency local backup for fast, everyday restores
  • A second copy in a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding
  • Immutable, ransomware-resistant copies — encryption can't reach them
  • Recovery tested on a schedule, so you know it actually works

The full backup & disaster recovery service

The same operated backup and DR on our main page — designed around the failure modes attackers and disasters actually test.

Immutability

Write-once copies that ransomware can't alter or delete, even with admin credentials.

Segregation

Backups isolated from production credentials and network, so one breach doesn't take both.

Offline & air-gap

Air-gapped copies for the worst-case scenario, beyond the reach of anything on your network.

Evidence & legal hold

Retention, evidence, and legal-hold support for compliance audits and litigation.

Tabletop tie-in

Recovery rehearsed through tabletop exercises — so the plan is proven, not assumed.

Discover → design → operate

A full lifecycle — discover, design, implement, operate, improve — run for you, not handed over.

How it works

A modern take on the 3-2-1 rule — fast locally, safe geographically, provably recoverable.

Local-fast layer

A nearby copy so routine restores — a file, a mailbox, a VM — happen in minutes, not hours dragging data across the internet.

Geo-separated DR copy

An automatic second copy in a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding, so a regional outage, storm, or grid failure can't take out both.

Immutable & encrypted

Copies are write-once and encrypted, so ransomware can't alter or delete them even if it reaches your network.

Tested recovery

We run recovery drills and give you real numbers — how long a restore takes (RTO) and how much data you'd lose (RPO).

Why Houston businesses keep a copy out of state

Texas runs its own power grid (ERCOT), and the Gulf Coast piles hurricanes and catastrophic flooding on top. Hurricane Harvey flooded much of the region for days in 2017, and Winter Storm Uri knocked out power and water in 2021. Keeping a recovery copy inside the state — let alone in the flood plain — isn't real protection.

A backup that only lives in Houston shares every risk your business does. Replicating to a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding is what turns “backup” into “disaster recovery” — and it's the part most local providers quietly skip.

Backup & Disaster Recovery in Houston — frequently asked questions

Why keep a backup in a separate region?

Because Texas runs its own power grid (ERCOT), and the Gulf Coast piles hurricanes and catastrophic flooding on top. Hurricane Harvey flooded much of the region for days in 2017, and Winter Storm Uri knocked out power and water in 2021. Keeping a recovery copy inside the state — let alone in the flood plain — isn't real protection. A recovery copy in a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding survives events that could take out anything hosted locally.

How fast can you restore?

Everyday restores come from the fast local copy in minutes. Full disaster recovery from the second region is measured and agreed up front as your RTO — no surprises on the worst day.

Is the backup protected from ransomware?

Yes. Copies are immutable and encrypted — write-once, so even ransomware that reaches your network can't alter or delete them.

Do you test recovery, or just take backups?

We test. Untested backups fail exactly when you need them. We run recovery drills and report real RTO/RPO numbers so you know where you stand.

What about a regional disaster — a major storm, flood, or grid failure?

Exactly the scenario this is built for. Texas runs its own power grid (ERCOT), and the Gulf Coast piles hurricanes and catastrophic flooding on top. Hurricane Harvey flooded much of the region for days in 2017, and Winter Storm Uri knocked out power and water in 2021. Keeping a recovery copy inside the state — let alone in the flood plain — isn't real protection. So your recovery copy lives a second region well outside Texas — off the ERCOT grid and clear of Gulf Coast hurricanes and flooding, clear of whatever takes the region down.
