Subnet Systems Backup & Disaster Recovery Services
Backup and Restore
The foundation of any disaster recovery plan. We regularly back up your files and systems so you can restore them after data loss, hardware failure, or accidental deletion.
Hot Site Recovery
We set up a fully operational duplicate of your IT environment (servers, software, data) that can take over instantly if your primary systems go down.
Cold Site Recovery
A more budget-friendly option. It’s a standby location with basic infrastructure ready to be activated—but it’ll take some time to get systems running. Ideal for businesses that can tolerate a bit of downtime.
Warm Site Recovery
The Goldilocks of recovery sites, more ready than a cold site, less costly than a hot site. Some systems and data are preloaded, allowing faster restoration without the full price tag of a hot setup.
Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery (Disaster Recovery as a Service – DRaaS)
We love this one. Your entire system—servers, apps, data—is backed up in the cloud and can be spun up on demand. Fast, flexible, and scalable. DRaaS lets you recover from almost anywhere, even if your office is offline.
Virtualization-Based Recovery
We use virtual machines to replicate your infrastructure, which means we can restore not just your data, but your entire working environment—apps, settings, everything. It’s like nothing ever happened.
What Is Disaster Recovery and Why Does It Matter?
A smart disaster recovery plan is part of your broader business continuity framework. It identifies risks, assigns responsibilities, and ensures everyone knows what to do in the event of a disaster. Whether you’re protecting cloud services, applications, or on-premises systems, the goal remains the same: keep your business operations running without missing a beat.
Subnet makes it simple. We help you build recovery strategies tailored to your people, your goals, and your infrastructure.
Let's work together?
Types of Disasters That Disrupt IT Systems
A reliable disaster recovery strategy is only effective if it prepares you for real-world threats. That’s why we start with a risk-based approach that considers the many types of disasters that could impact your business.
These include everything from power grid failures and server room hardware failures to cyberattacks, ransomware attacks, and even everyday human error that can derail your systems in seconds. And don’t forget the less dramatic but equally disruptive culprits like power outages and unstable connections.
Subnet protects you from all of it—because the unexpected doesn’t get a warning label.
Subnet’s Proven Approach to Disaster Recovery Planning
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approach to disruptive events. Every organization needs a disaster recovery plan that fits its IT infrastructure, compliance needs, and business priorities. That starts with a full risk assessment and business impact analysis to identify vulnerabilities and system dependencies.
We document clear recovery procedures, assign team responsibilities, and establish communication channels with key stakeholders. Our process includes full emergency management and readiness protocols—tested, trained, and built to adapt. This isn’t just a binder on a shelf; it’s a plan designed to be executed under pressure and refined over time through regular preparedness exercises.
Metrics That Guide Smart Recovery: RTO, RPO & More
Subnet Systems helps you define and track the metrics that drive real outcomes.
We help you determine your Recovery Time Objective (RTO)—the maximum allowable time to restore systems—and your Recovery Point Objective (RPO)—the amount of data loss your business can tolerate. These numbers aren’t arbitrary. They inform backup frequency, failover speed, and real-time data visibility.
Using these metrics, we align your disaster recovery systems with your business’s risk tolerance, ensuring minimal downtime, accurate replication, and continuity of critical workloads.
DRaaS – Disaster Recovery as a Service with Subnet
Our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering delivers full-scale protection without the hardware headache. DRaaS is ideal for companies with remote teams, multiple locations, or high-risk workloads.
With DRaaS, we provide:
- Cloud-hosted replication of systems, files, and virtual machines (VMs)
- Seamless failover to an offsite backup location or secondary data center
- Support for VMware, vms, and container-based architectures
- Real-time monitoring of workloads with rollback capabilities
- Compatibility with both cloud services and on-premises systems
Backup Services That Save the Day & Your Data
Whether it’s a rogue coffee spill or a ransomware attack from halfway across the globe, data loss can strike when you least expect it. That’s why we don’t just hope for the best, we prepare for data protection. At Subnet Systems, we treat data backups like digital time machines: always on, quietly working in the background, ready to rewind when you need a do-over.
Our backup and disaster recovery solutions work together like a pit crew, fast, efficient, and ready to restore more than just your files.
Because we really love saving the day, here’s how our backup & disaster recovery process works:
- Automated Backups: Your data is backed up regularly—hourly, daily, or in real-time—depending on your needs.
- Offsite & Cloud Storage: We store backups in secure offsite and encrypted cloud environments for maximum redundancy.
- Version Control: Need yesterday’s version of that file? No problem. We keep historical versions just in case.
- Rapid Restore: In the event of a failure, we can quickly recover files, systems, or entire networks.
- Business Continuity Planning: We integrate backups with your disaster recovery plan, so your team stays productive no matter what.
