Frequently Asked Questions About Data Backup & Recovery
What types of data do you back up for Higher Education institutions?
How quickly can systems be restored in the event of a failure or breach?
Our platform delivers 65% reduction in mean time to recovery. Depending on your configuration, systems and data can be restored within minutes to a few hours. We develop detailed disaster recovery plans in collaboration with your IT team to prioritize critical services and reduce downtime.
What's the real cost of non-compliance?
FERPA violations cost $1,000 per incident and can eliminate federal funding. The average data breach costs Higher Ed institutions $3.25 million. Our implementations have prevented $10M+ in potential losses through proactive data protection and compliance automation.
Do your services help us meet FERPA and other compliance requirements?
Yes. Our backup and recovery solutions include data retention policies, access logs, encryption, and version control features that support FERPA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOX, and other compliance mandates. We achieved 100% audit compliance for multiple institutions.
What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backups involve securely storing copies of your data at regular intervals, while disaster recovery includes the full strategy and tools to restore services and operations after an incident. We provide both: data is consistently backed up, and we develop customized recovery plans for operational resilience.
Can we back up cloud-based systems like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Absolutely. We support backup and recovery for cloud environments including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and cloud-based SIS or LMS platforms. This ensures your institution's data remains protected—even when hosted off-site.
How secure are your backup environments?
We follow industry best practices including end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, secure access controls, and geographically diverse data centers. You can choose local, cloud, or hybrid backup configurations based on your institutional policies.
Can you help us replace or modernize our current backup solution?
Yes. We regularly help institutions transition from legacy or fragmented backup systems to a centralized, automated, and compliance-ready solution. Our team handles migration planning, implementation, and user training to ensure a smooth shift.
How does your backup solution support shadow IT or rogue data storage?
We scan your network to detect unauthorized data stores and tools that operate outside your IT policies. Once identified, we help bring these systems into a secure and compliant backup framework—or decommission them safely.
