Managed Data Backup & Disaster Recovery in Connecticut
When a server dies or ransomware lands, one thing matters: how fast everyone is working again. ASG runs immutable Veeam backups of your servers, workstations, critical applications, and cloud data, keeps offsite copies in the cloud, and tests the restores automatically every night. Then your account manager sends you proof it worked, and reviews what isn't being backed up, which is the half that catches most businesses out.
- ✓Immutable Veeam backups, offsite in the cloud
- ✓Servers, workstations, applications and cloud data
- ✓Restores tested automatically every night
- ✓Written proof your restore test passed
- ✓Your coverage reviewed, including what isn't backed up
- ✓A documented recovery runbook, and targets set with your vCIO
Backup is the easy part. Recovery is the product.
Built Around Your Business
Backup and disaster recovery services are usually sold as one fixed schedule for everything, and there's no universal right answer to how often a system should be backed up. A line-of-business database that takes orders all day and a file server nobody touches after 5pm need different answers, so ASG sets the schedule per system against what your business can actually afford to lose.
Immutable Veeam Backups
Immutable means the backup can't be changed or deleted once it's written. Ransomware can't touch it, and neither can a stolen admin login or an honest mistake. Modern attacks go looking for your backups first, because a company that can restore doesn't pay. Yours can restore.
Offsite Copies in the Cloud
Your backups don't live only in the building that could flood, burn, or get locked up by an attacker. Copies sit offsite in the cloud, so whatever happens to the office doesn't reach the thing you recover from.
Is what you have now actually a backup?
Most businesses we take over have something. A sync folder, a backup drive, a job somebody set up years ago. Here's what usually separates it from a plan you could bet the company on.

| Backup managed by ASG | What we usually find | |
|---|---|---|
| If ransomware hits | Immutable copies that can't be altered or deleted | Encryption follows the sync, and the backup goes with it |
| Where the copy lives | Offsite in the cloud, out of reach | In the same building as the problem |
| Microsoft 365 & Google data | Backed up properly, not left to a retention window | Assumed covered by the provider |
| Who checks the restores | Automated testing nightly, plus manual tests by an engineer | Nobody, until the day it matters |
| How you know it worked | Your TAM emails you proof of the test | You don't |
| What isn't covered | Reviewed regularly, and told to you straight | Unknown, and usually growing |
| When a server dies | Boot from the onsite appliance in minutes, where the environment has one | Order hardware, rebuild, hope |
| The recovery plan | A written runbook with an order of operations | In somebody's head |
| Recovery targets | Set with your vCIO in plain business terms | Never discussed |
| Cyber-insurance questions | Answered with the controls you actually have | Answered with a guess |
What else you get
Servers & Workstations
Servers, the workstations your staff actually use, and the critical applications the business runs on. Coverage that stops at the file server misses the work.
Cloud & SaaS Data
Microsoft and Google keep your service running; they don't keep a backup for you. A provider's retention window is an expensive thing to discover mid-incident.
Nightly Restore Tests
An untested backup is a guess. Automated testing runs nightly and confirms the backups actually restore, so problems surface on an ordinary Tuesday.
Manual Testing
Beyond the nightly automated pass, our engineers run restore tests by hand. Automation catches what it was told to look for; people catch the rest.
Monitored 24/7
Backups are watched around the clock, and your Technology Alignment Manager emails you proof the test ran and passed. You don't have to take anyone's word for it.
Coverage Review
Your TAM reviews what's being backed up, then reviews what isn't. That second list is where the server nobody mentioned ends up, and it's what everyone forgets.
Fast Failover
Where the environment calls for it, an onsite appliance can boot your servers in minutes. Your vCIO will tell you honestly if yours isn't one of them.
Recovery Runbook
A written plan: what comes back first, in what order, and who does what. On a bad day nobody should be improvising out of one engineer's head.
Recovery Targets
How long you can be down and how much recent work you can lose, your recovery time and recovery point objectives. Your vCIO works both out with you.
When did your IT provider last call you first?
Most IT waits for the phone to ring. ASG comes to you before there's something to call about. Here's the mechanism behind that, in writing.
Quarterly Risk Audits
Your Technology Alignment Manager (TAM) audits your environment against IT best practices and cybersecurity checks, quarterly for most clients, keeps your documentation current, and flags risk while it's still cheap to fix.
A vCIO Who Owns It
Your virtual CIO writes the policies, builds the rolling technology roadmap, and reviews risk directly with your leadership, so IT decisions get made ahead of the budget cycle instead of after an incident.
Findings Walked Through
That audit is a 317-question assessment across 46 categories. Your TAM and your vCIO each review and date every item, then the findings get walked through with you. Written in business terms, and they become next year's plan.
We'll be the most proactive partner you've ever worked with.
