Backup and Disaster Recovery Services for Houston Businesses
Houston businesses face a unique combination of disaster risks: hurricanes, flooding, power outages, ransomware, and hardware failure can all wipe out your data in an instant. xS LLC (SpaceTown IT) provides comprehensive backup and disaster recovery (BDR) solutions that protect Houston businesses from data loss and minimize downtime when the unexpected happens.
The Cost of Data Loss in Houston
Most businesses that lose significant data following a disaster never fully recover. The average cost of downtime for small businesses exceeds $8,000 per hour. In Houston, where weather events can cause extended power and facility disruptions, having data backed up off-site is not optional — it’s survival planning.
Our Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
True BCDR goes beyond backup — it means you can continue operating even when your primary systems are unavailable. Our BCDR solutions create image-based backups of your entire servers, which can be spun up as virtual machines in minutes — either on a local appliance at your office or in the cloud — so business continues even if your hardware is destroyed.
Cloud Backup for Files and Servers
We back up your critical business data to secure, encrypted cloud storage in geographically redundant data centers. Backups run automatically — multiple times per day for critical systems — and are stored for defined retention periods. We test restores regularly to verify that your data can actually be recovered when needed.
Microsoft 365 Backup
Microsoft does not provide comprehensive backup of your Microsoft 365 data. Deleted emails, files, and Teams messages may be unrecoverable after 30-90 days using only Microsoft’s built-in tools. We provide dedicated Microsoft 365 backup solutions that protect your email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data with longer retention and point-in-time recovery.
Ransomware Recovery
Ransomware is now the number one cause of data loss for businesses. Attackers encrypt your files and demand payment. With our immutable backup solutions, your data is protected even if ransomware reaches your backup environment — we maintain offline or air-gapped copies that attackers cannot encrypt. Recovery is fast, clean, and complete.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Technology is only part of disaster recovery. We help Houston businesses create written disaster recovery plans that document recovery procedures, assign responsibilities, and define recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). We then test the plan annually with simulated disaster exercises.
Houston Flooding and Hurricane Preparedness
Harvey proved that even businesses far from traditional flood plains can face catastrophic flooding. We help Houston businesses ensure their backup data lives securely off-site — far from any local disaster — so recovery can begin from anywhere, even if your office is underwater.
Backup and disaster recovery works hand-in-hand with our cybersecurity services and managed IT services. Contact xS LLC to learn how we can protect your Houston business from data loss.
