Whether you’re trying to retrieve a deleted document; recover from a malicious malware attack; or deal with a hardware/software failure … you can never have too many backups. Projex IMC’s Backup, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Services can help preserve your valuable data.
Disaster Recovery as a Service
Our Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) solution is exactly what it sounds like. Once our service has been setup for a particular business site and designated server(s) and workstation(s) have been backed up and replicated to the cloud, an entire business site can be spun up (booted up) in the cloud in a matter of minutes. So in the event of a catastrophic failure of any kind, the entire LAN infrastructure is running in the cloud and accessible remotely via secure internet access. With proper planning that takes into account the nature of the various catastrophic events, your business can be operating in the cloud without delay while your LAN infrastructure is being repaired and/or restored.
Projex IMC’s Backup, Recovery and Business Continuity Service uses a progressive protection model: Backup > 3-2-1 Disaster Recovery > Full Business Continuity. Not every organization requires the same level of resilience on day one. What matters is that protection scales logically as business risk, operational dependence and regulatory requirements increase. Our backup and continuity services are delivered as a modular, progressive framework — starting with integrated backup, advancing to true disaster recovery through a 3-2-1 strategy, and culminating in full business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).
Level 1: Integrated Backup (Baseline Data Protection)
This level provides foundational backup protection through an integrated, cloud-based approach. It’s primary purpose is data survivability, not rapid system recovery or business continuity. Core capabilities include:
- Automated cloud backups for endpoints and supported systems;
- Centralized monitoring, alerting and reporting;
- Policy-based scheduling and retention management, and:
- File-level and image-level restore for common data loss scenarios.
What this level protects against:
- Accidental deletion or data corruption
- Device loss or hardware failure
This level establishes the minimum acceptable baseline for protecting business data. It does not guarantee fast system recovery or continued operation during an outage.
Level 2: Disaster Recovery Built on a 3-2-1 Strategy (BDR)
Level 2 introduces true disaster recovery by implementing a 3-2-1 backup architecture. This moves protection beyond data backup to rapid restoration of systems and applications. Our 3-2-1 disaster recovery architecture includes:
- Three total copies of data
- Two different storage media or locations
- One offsite or immutable copy for ransomware and disaster resilience
Incremental capabilities include:
- Image-based backups for servers and business critical workloads;
- Local recovery targets for accelerated restores;
- Cloud replication for geographic redundancy, and;
- Defined recovery objectives (RFO and RTO) aligned to business needs.
What this level protects against:
- Extended outages and system failures
- Most ransomware events requiring clean recovery points
This level is appropriate for organizations where downtime impacts revenue, customer experience or internal operations.
Level 3: Full Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
Level 3 is designed for organizations that must remain operational during major incidents.
Rather than waiting for recovery, systems and workloads can be rapidly brought online in alternate environments to maintain business continuity. Advanced continuity capabilities include:
- Continuous or near continuous replication of critical systems
- Instant recovery into local or cloud-based environments
- Guided or automated failover and fallback processes
- Isolated recovery environments for ransomware scenarios
- Recovery testing, documentation and compliance-ready reporting
What this level protects against:
- Ransomware with operational impact
- Site loss, natural disasters or prolonged outages
This level is typically required for regulated environments, mission-critical systems and organizations with executive-level uptime requirements.
How to Choose the Right Level
A simple way to understand the progression:
- Level 1 protects data
- Level 2 restores systems quickly
- Level 3 keeps the business running
We help align your current protection level with today’s risks while creating a clear, non-disruptive upgrade path as your business grows or regulatory requirements evolve.
