Backups nobody tests.
A green checkmark does not prove the data can be restored.
Backup & Business Continuity
Backup and business continuity that recovers fast.
Backups, restore testing, ransomware recovery planning, and business continuity built for real outages, not checkbox comfort.
Get a Free CHK-UpA backup is not a recovery plan. The real question is what happens when the server is down, files are encrypted, or a user deletes the wrong data.
CHK builds backup and continuity around restore speed, data priority, and business impact. We verify that the plan works before the emergency tests it for you.
What goes wrong without a recovery plan
Most businesses have some kind of backup. Fewer know what it protects, how long a restore takes, or who makes the call during an outage.
Cloud data assumed to be protected.
Microsoft 365 and cloud apps still need backup and retention planning.
No recovery priorities.
Everything feels critical during an outage when priorities were never defined.
Ransomware recovery improvised under pressure.
The worst time to design the plan is after encryption starts.
What CHK protects
Continuity work is about knowing what matters first, protecting it correctly, and proving recovery is possible.
Cloud and local backups
Backup coverage for servers, endpoints, cloud platforms, and critical business data.
Microsoft 365 backup
Protection for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data that native retention may not cover.
Restore testing
Scheduled restore checks to confirm backups are usable, not just present.
Disaster recovery planning
Recovery priorities, communication paths, vendor roles, and technical steps documented before an outage.
Ransomware recovery readiness
Isolation, clean restore paths, recovery order, and decision points defined in advance.
Business continuity reviews
Regular review of data growth, retention needs, recovery times, and operational changes.
What changes when it works
No vague transformation story. Just the operational difference your team should feel.
- Critical data has a defined recovery path.
- Restore expectations are clear before an outage.
- Microsoft 365 data is not treated as automatically protected.
- Ransomware response starts from a plan, not panic.
How CHK delivers it
The details change by environment. The discipline does not.
Identify
Define critical systems, data, recovery priorities, and acceptable downtime.
Protect
Deploy backup coverage with retention, encryption, monitoring, and alerts.
Test
Run restore checks and document what worked, what failed, and what changed.
Maintain
Review backups as systems, users, cloud platforms, and risk change.
Questions we get a lot
Straight answers. If you need a more specific answer, the contact form is the fastest path.
Do Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace need backup?
Yes. Cloud platforms provide availability, but they do not replace a complete backup and recovery strategy.
How often should restores be tested?
At minimum, test restores on a regular cadence and after major system changes. Critical systems deserve more frequent validation.
Can backups help after ransomware?
They can, but only if they are isolated, monitored, tested, and paired with a recovery plan.
Do you document recovery steps?
Yes. The plan needs to be usable during stress, not trapped in one person's head.
