Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backup and disaster recovery are not the same thing. The difference is what determines whether you’re back in business in hours — or not at all.
Most businesses think they have a recovery plan because they have backups. Backups only tell you that a copy of your data exists somewhere — they don’t tell you how long it will take to get your systems running again, whether that copy survived a ransomware attack, or whether anyone has actually tested the process. ADNET designs, implements and tests Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solutions for organizations across Connecticut and the Capital Region, built around a defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — not just a backup job that runs overnight and hopes for the best.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning
A backup is a copy of your data. A disaster recovery plan is a documented, tested process for getting your business back online after that data is needed. ADNET builds BDR plans around your organization’s actual Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — how fast you need to be back up, and how much data you can afford to lose — then tests the failover process on a regular schedule so the plan works when it’s needed, not just on paper.

Cloud & Hybrid Data Backup
ADNET protects your data with automated, encrypted backups across onsite and cloud destinations, following the 3-2-1 backup standard: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored offsite. Continuous, monitored backup jobs mean your data is protected on a schedule that matches how your business actually operates, with alerts and verification — not a job that silently fails and goes unnoticed until you need it.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
When a server fails, a site goes down, or hardware simply reaches end of life, DRaaS lets your systems fail over to secure cloud infrastructure so your team can keep working while the underlying issue is resolved — instead of waiting on hardware replacement or a full rebuild. ADNET designs failover environments sized to your actual systems and tests them before you ever need them in a real event.

Ransomware & Cyber Incident Recovery
Modern ransomware targets backups first, specifically because they’re the way out of paying a ransom. ADNET protects backup data with immutable, air-gapped copies that attackers on your network can’t reach, encrypt or delete, combined with an isolated recovery environment so systems can be restored clean — without reintroducing the same compromise. This is a core part of the incident response planning ADNET runs for clients alongside our cybersecurity team.

Compliance-Driven Backup & Retention
Regulated organizations — including DoD contractors subject to CMMC, and businesses carrying cyber liability insurance — increasingly have specific, documented requirements for data backup, retention periods and recovery testing. ADNET configures backup and recovery programs to align with your compliance framework and maintains the documentation your auditor, insurer or contracting officer will ask to see, implementing and evidencing the controls your obligations require rather than simply claiming compliance.
