FAQ
Backup & Disaster Recovery — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BALANCED+ backup architecture, data protection, and disaster recovery solutions for Toronto and GTA businesses.
What is Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR)?
Backup & Disaster Recovery is a managed service that secures your
critical data and ensures fast restoration after data loss, ransomware,
or system failure. BALANCED+ designs 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategies and
performs daily verification for guaranteed recoverability.
What does “3-2-1-1-0” mean in backup strategy?
It stands for three copies of data on two types of media, one off-site,
one immutable or offline, and zero backup verification errors. This
layered model prevents data loss and defends against ransomware.
How quickly can you restore my systems?
BALANCED+ maintains critical workload recovery time objectives (RTO)
under one hour. Quarterly disaster-recovery tests verify that
infrastructure, cloud, and endpoint systems meet those targets.
Do you back up Microsoft 365 and cloud platforms?
Yes — our service protects Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams
with point-in-time backups and granular restores for email, files, and
chat data, ensuring business continuity across hybrid environments.
Are backups protected from ransomware?
Absolutely. We use immutable, air-gapped storage and off-site copies
that cannot be encrypted or deleted by attackers. Even in a full
ransomware incident, recovery remains guaranteed.
Do you provide compliance or audit reports?
Yes. BALANCED+ delivers audit-ready evidence mapped to SOC 2,
ISO 27001, and PCI DSS controls, including backup logs, retention
records, and restore proofs for auditors and executives.
How often do you test disaster recovery plans?
We conduct full recovery simulations every quarter, validating RPO/RTO
goals, testing failover sites, and documenting outcomes for continuous
improvement and compliance assurance.
