Backup, Storage & Disaster Recovery

Most businesses discover their backups were broken the day they need them. Ours are air-gapped, automated, and tested every quarter with real restores — so when disaster hits, it's an inconvenience measured in hours, not a catastrophe measured in weeks.

06 / BACKUP, STORAGE & DISASTER RECOVERY

A backup you've never restored is just a hope.

BAK

Backup & Storage

Automated, encrypted, air-gapped backups — your data stays safe, always, and restores are quick when you need them.

DR

Disaster Recovery

Documented runbooks and rehearsed failovers minimize downtime — you bounce back in hours, not weeks.

VDC

Virtual Data Center

Enterprise-grade compute, storage, and networking on demand — the flexibility of a data center at a fraction of the cost.

HST

Managed Hosting

From websites to mission-critical apps: maximum uptime, speed, and security — you focus on the business, we handle the hosting.

REP

Offsite Replication

A second live copy of critical systems in a geographically separate facility — ready to take over when primary fails.

TST

Quarterly DR Testing

Every quarter we actually restore your backups and time the recovery — with a written report you can show auditors.

ARCHITECTURE / HOW YOUR DATA IS PROTECTED

Built so ransomware can't take your backups with it.

Backup infrastructure is separated from your production environment at every level — identity, network, and storage — so an attacker who gets in still can't touch your recovery path.

01
Production Infrastructure
Your servers, VMs, and Microsoft 365 data — the systems your business runs on every day.
02
Veeam Backup & Replication
Automated, encrypted backup jobs on your defined schedule — application-consistent, so databases restore cleanly.
03
Encrypted Offsite Transfer
Copies move through a dedicated offsite proxy over encrypted, network-segmented channels — isolated from production credentials and identity.
04
Immutable Hardened Repositories
Geographically separated Linux hardened repositories with storage-level immutability — backup data can't be altered, encrypted, or deleted, even by a compromised admin account.
05
Verified, Tested Recovery
Automated backup verification on every job, plus quarterly timed restores with a written report — proof your recovery works, not a promise.
Technical deep dive Expand

Backups run on Veeam Backup & Replication, following the 3-2-1 rule with copies offloaded through a segmented offsite proxy to geographically separated, immutable Linux hardened repositories that ransomware can't encrypt or delete. Backup infrastructure uses isolated credentials, separate from production identity. Recovery objectives are defined per workload and validated quarterly: full VM restores, application-consistent snapshots, and timed DR drills with documented results. Virtual Data Center resources are provisioned on redundant compute with N+1 storage and network paths.

FAQ / COMMON QUESTIONS

Backup & recovery, answered plainly.

How does Xaccel protect backups from ransomware?Answer

Backups run on Veeam Backup & Replication following the 3-2-1 rule, with copies sent through a segmented offsite proxy to geographically separated, immutable hardened Linux repositories. Backup infrastructure uses credentials isolated from production, so even a compromised admin account cannot alter, encrypt or delete backup data. All data is AES-256 encrypted at rest and in transit.

What recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) can we expect?Answer

Critical workloads have a recovery time objective under 4 hours. Recovery point objectives range from 15 minutes to 24 hours depending on the tier you choose for each workload.

How often are backups tested?Answer

Every backup job is verified automatically, and every quarter Xaccel performs real, timed restores and delivers a written report you can show auditors.

Does Xaccel back up Microsoft 365?Answer

Yes. Protection covers your servers, virtual machines and Microsoft 365 data, using application-consistent backups so databases restore cleanly.
