Backup and disaster recovery that works when you need it.
Most backup systems fail when they’re actually needed.
Almost every business has some form of backup. The problem isn’t whether backups exist. The problem is whether they actually work when it counts.
Backups that haven’t been tested in a year. Backups that quietly stopped running months ago. Backups that protect some data, but not the right data. Backups so slow to restore, the business stops while they run. These are the most common failure points we see when new clients come to us after an incident.
A real backup and disaster recovery approach isn’t just about copying data somewhere. It’s about being able to recover the right data, quickly, with confidence every time.
A complete approach to data protection and recovery.
Wingman’s backup and disaster recovery covers the full picture.
Automated, Regular Backups
Backups that run on a defined schedule across every critical system. Not “set it and forget it”. Actively monitored, with alerts if anything fails.
Cloud And On-Premise Coverage
Whether your data lives in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, on local servers, or across a hybrid environment, we make sure all of it is protected including the cloud data most providers assume is “automatically backed up” (it usually isn’t).
Defined Recovery Objectives
Every client has clear targets for how fast we can recover (RTO) and how much data we can afford to lose (RPO). Those targets are documented and tested, not assumed.
Regular Recovery Testing
Backups that have never been restored aren’t backups. They’re hope. We test recovery on a regular schedule so we know your data is actually recoverable, not just stored.
Ransomware-Resilient Design
Backups that can be wiped by an attacker aren’t useful. We design backup environments with isolation and immutability so that even a successful ransomware attack can’t take your recovery options with it.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Recovery isn’t just about restoring data. It’s about getting your business operational. We plan for the full picture. What systems come back first, what’s required to operate, what your team needs to know.
Three things that separate real backup from “we have backup.”
Part of how we manage
your environment.
Backup isn’t a separate product we layer on top. It’s part of how we manage every client environment from the start. Designed, monitored, and tested as part of the whole.
FAQs
About backup and disaster recovery
Have a question that isn’t here? We’re easy to reach.
Isn't Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace data automatically backed up?
No. Microsoft and Google maintain platform availability, but neither provides the kind of granular, long-term backup most businesses need. If a user accidentally deletes a critical email or file, or if a malicious actor compromises an account, the recovery window from the platform itself is limited. Proper third-party backup is essential.
How often should backups run?
For most critical systems, daily — at minimum. For high-value, frequently-changing data, more often. We define the right backup frequency for every system in your environment based on how much data you can afford to lose and how quickly you need to recover.
How long does it take to recover from a major incident?
That depends on what’s being recovered. Single files can be restored in minutes. Full system recovery typically takes hours to a day, depending on data volume. We document recovery time objectives (RTO) for every system so you know what to expect and we test against those objectives.
What if we're already paying for backup somewhere else?
We’ll review your current setup as part of onboarding. If what you have works, we keep it. If it doesn’t, we recommend what should change and why. Either way, you’ll know exactly what’s protected, what isn’t, and how to close the gap.
Ready to know your data is actually safe?
Let’s talk about what your current backup looks like and whether it would hold up if you actually needed it.
