Proper Backup Process Assures Continuity

Having a reliable and efficient business continuity plan for your IT infrastructure should never be an afterthought. With Northstar Managed Hosting, we tailor a plan that incorporates not just a backup solution for every customer, but also an array of high-availability options that are fully managed by your assigned team of certified engineers. We also ensure, from your initial consultation, that your specially designed business continuity plan can handle any disaster recovery or compliance needs your business may demand. We also perform monthly consultations to review our business continuity strategy and plan for any future changes.

The Anticipation Advantage Methodology for Backup Services

During the initial consultation with you, we work to construct the optimum business continuity plan and to design a robust infrastructure that supports your backup strategy. We specifically segregate backup activity onto a separate network to isolate traffic and identify backup impact activities. Your comprehensive backup and recovery plan defines backup retention periods and identification of backup exclusions specific to your business. We then recommend backup encryption options and application-specific backup strategies.

Your Northstar Managed Hosting team regularly performs rigorous backup verification procedures to ensure your data is available when you need it. We verify data integrity for each backup session, provide optional test-recovery strategies and schedule backups during off-peak hours. We supply regular aggregate backup usage reports, display successful backup sessions, identify critical trends, and alert you to impending limits so you can plan for additional capacity.
