Image-based backups, off-site replication, ransomware-proof immutable storage, BCDR appliances, and tested DR runbooks.
Industry data on backup failures is brutal:
"We have backups" is not a strategy. "We have backups we have tested, that produce a clean restore in a documented timeframe, with off-site and immutable copies" — that is a strategy.
The modern backup standard, which Maverick implements for every managed client:
That last "0" is the one most providers skip. We don't.
Full bare-metal images of every server and critical workstation, captured incrementally throughout the day. Restore an entire machine to identical or dissimilar hardware in minutes. Granular recovery for individual files, mailboxes, or SQL databases.
Datto SIRIS or Veeam-powered appliances that hold local backups and can spin up your servers as virtual machines on the appliance itself. If your primary server dies on Tuesday, we run your business off the appliance by Tuesday afternoon while replacement hardware ships.
Every local backup is replicated to a hardened cloud destination — Datto cloud, Wasabi, Azure Backup, or AWS S3 Glacier depending on the workload. Encrypted in transit and at rest.
The critical layer. Backups in object-lock or air-gapped storage that cannot be deleted or encrypted even by an attacker with full admin credentials. This is the ransomware-proof copy.
Microsoft and Google do not back up your tenant data. Maverick deploys Datto, Veeam, AvePoint, or SkyKick to protect mailboxes, OneDrive/Drive files, SharePoint sites, and Teams content with point-in-time restore capability.
The thing that separates real BCDR from backup theater. We pull a recent backup, restore to a sandbox environment, validate the data, and document the result. You see the report.
We are vendor-aligned with the platforms our engineers actually trust in production. Here is what powers this service line:
You need BCDR if:
Backup is making copies of data. Disaster recovery is the documented plan for getting back to operating after data loss, hardware failure, ransomware, fire, flood, or any other event. Real BCDR includes both: the backup technology that protects the data, and the runbook that tells your team exactly what to do when something happens.
For most managed clients we run image-based incrementals every 1 to 4 hours during business hours, with full backups daily and weekly retention going 30 to 90 days locally. Critical SQL databases get more frequent transaction-log backups. The exact RPO depends on your tolerance for data loss.
Immutable storage uses object-lock or air-gapped retention that cannot be deleted or modified for a set period — even by an administrator. When ransomware compromises your environment and reaches your backup credentials, the immutable copy survives because the storage layer itself refuses delete or write requests.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is how quickly you need to be back up after a disaster — measured in minutes or hours. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is how much data loss you can tolerate. RTO drives how the backup architecture is designed; RPO drives how often backups run.
With Maverick's BCDR stack and immutable backups, a typical SMB ransomware recovery runs 2 to 5 days from incident to fully operational state. Compare to the industry median of 24 days. The difference is preparation: tested backups, documented runbooks, and a team that has done this before.
