A “disaster” isn’t only a fire or a flood. A failed server, a ransomware attack, or an office you can’t get into all stop work the same way. The point of a continuity plan is that when it happens, you already know what the next hour looks like.
Everyday problems: restore
Most incidents are ordinary — a deleted file, a corrupted database, a server that won’t boot. These are handled by restoring from a recent recovery point. On the appliance plan, those restores come from the on-site appliance, so they’re fast and local.
Real disasters: keep working in the cloud
If a server — or the whole office — goes down, you don’t wait for hardware to be replaced. With Virtual Office, we run your systems as virtual machines in our cloud, so your team keeps working while the originals are repaired or rebuilt. Your cloud copy of the backups is what makes this possible.
The disaster recovery fee
On appliance plans, a disaster recovery fee applies only when a disaster is actually declared and we spin your systems up in our cloud: $3,600, $5,600 or $9,600 per appliance, by size. It’s not part of your monthly plan — you pay it if and when you invoke recovery.
Why it’s planned, not improvised
Because the backups are tested nightly and protected from deletion, the copy you fail over to is one you can trust. See AirGap and AutoVerify, explained. Want to know exactly how recovery would run for your setup? Talk to our team.
