Untested backups fail when you need them most. LogicSystemIQ builds backup and disaster recovery plans for Peabody and North Shore businesses, tests them regularly, and gets you back to work fast after ransomware, hardware failure, or human error.
A backup is only as good as your last successful restore. Every plan we build is tested, documented, and ready for the worst day your business ever has.
Most businesses find out their backups are broken the day they need them. We run scheduled restore tests on your actual data, verify the results, and send you proof. When something fails, we fix it before it matters, not after. You always know your safety net is real.
Ransomware crews go after your backups first, because encrypted backups mean you pay. We keep immutable, offsite copies that attackers cannot alter or delete, following the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, two media types, one offsite. If your network gets hit, your clean data is sitting somewhere they can’t reach.
How long can your business run without email, files, or your line-of-business app? We work that out with you, then design recovery targets around real numbers: which systems come back first, how much data you can afford to lose, and what the plan costs to maintain.
Microsoft does not back up your Microsoft 365 data the way most owners assume. Deleted mailboxes, purged SharePoint files, and departed-employee OneDrives are your problem, not Microsoft’s. We back up email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive to separate storage so a mistake or attack in the cloud is recoverable too.
A disaster recovery plan is more than software. We document who does what when systems go down: contact trees, failover steps, vendor numbers, and the order systems come back in. Your team gets a plain-English playbook, so a bad day runs on a checklist instead of panic.
Backups fail quietly: a full disk, an expired credential, a job that has been erroring for weeks. We monitor every job daily, investigate failures the day they happen, and send you plain-English reports so you can see your protection working instead of taking our word for it.
Most clients go from first conversation to working, tested backups in under 30 days. Here is how we get there.
We start with a free assessment of what you have today: where your data lives, what is currently backed up, what is not, and what a day of downtime would actually cost your business. No obligation, no sales pressure.
Together we set recovery targets for each system: what comes back first, how fast, and how much data loss is acceptable. Then we design the backup architecture, local, cloud, or both, and quote one predictable flat monthly rate.
We deploy the backup platform, configure immutable offsite copies, protect Microsoft 365, and run the first full restore test before we call anything done. You get documentation your team can actually follow.
We monitor every backup job daily, run scheduled restore tests, and review your recovery plan as your business changes. When something does go wrong, you call one number and we run the playbook with you.
Patient records, imaging, and scheduling systems cannot simply disappear. We build backup and recovery plans that support HIPAA readiness: encrypted backups, documented retention, tested restores, and an audit trail you can hand to a compliance reviewer. When a workstation dies or ransomware hits, your practice keeps seeing patients instead of canceling weeks of appointments.
Your files are your product. A lost client folder, a corrupted case archive, or a week of missing email can turn into malpractice exposure. We protect file servers, practice management software, and Microsoft 365 with versioned backups, so you can recover a single document from last Tuesday or an entire server from last night.
When your ERP, shared drives, or shop-floor systems go down, production stops and payroll still runs. We design recovery plans around the systems that actually keep you shipping, with onsite help across the North Shore and Greater Boston when hardware fails and a remote team watching your backups every day.
First, we isolate infected machines so the encryption stops spreading. Then we assess what was hit, confirm your immutable offsite backups are clean, and restore from the most recent good copy in the order your recovery plan defines: critical systems first. Because your data was never only in one place, you are in a position to recover instead of negotiating with attackers over a ransom. Afterward we help close the entry point, working alongside our cybersecurity services to reduce the risk of a repeat.
Backup jobs are monitored every day, and failed jobs get investigated the same day. On top of that, we run scheduled restore tests where we actually recover real files, mailboxes, or full servers and verify the results, then document what we found. The schedule depends on how critical each system is, which we agree on during planning. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan, so testing is built into the service, not an add-on.
RTO (recovery time objective) is how long you can afford to be down before it seriously hurts, hours or days. RPO (recovery point objective) is how much recent work you can afford to lose, the gap between your last backup and the moment things broke. Tighter targets cost more, so we help you pick realistic numbers per system instead of paying for instant recovery on things that could wait a day. Those two numbers drive the whole design.
Usually both. Local backups (to a Synology NAS or backup appliance) restore fast, which matters when a server dies and you want it back the same day. Cloud copies in Azure, Wasabi, or S3 survive fire, theft, flood, and ransomware that reaches your building. The 3-2-1 rule covers it: three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one offsite. During your free assessment we will recommend the mix that fits your systems and budget.
