Why Reliable Backups Matter More Than Ever
In today’s digital world, data is the lifeblood of any business. Whether it’s customer records, financial documents, emails, or design files, losing data can be catastrophic — not just in terms of money, but also in terms of trust, reputation, downtime, and regulatory risk.
Many businesses believe “cloud” or “on a server” is safe enough, but disasters happen: hardware failure, ransomware attacks, accidental deletion, software bugs, natural disasters. A robust backup + recovery plan is no longer optional — it’s essential.
That’s why we use BDRSuite as the core engine for our managed backup service. BDRSuite (by Vembu) is a mature, full-stack backup and recovery platform that supports virtual machines, physical servers, cloud workloads, endpoints, and SaaS applications. (bdrsuite.com)
In this post, we’ll explain how our service works, why BDRSuite is an ideal choice, and how you benefit from partnering with us.
What Is BDRSuite? (and Why We Chose It)
BDRSuite is a backup and recovery software platform that supports:
Virtual machine backup (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM) (bdrsuite.com)
Physical servers and endpoints (Windows, Linux, macOS) (bdrsuite.com)
SaaS and cloud workloads (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS EC2, Azure VMs) (bdrsuite.com)
Application-aware backups (e.g. SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, MySQL) (bdrsuite.com)
File/folder backup, disk image backup, cross-platform restore options (bdrsuite.com)
Offsite replication and cloud disaster recovery (Cloud DR, offsite copies) (bdrsuite.com)
Encryption (AES-256) in transit and at rest, efficient compression, versioning, retention policies (bdrsuite.com)
In short: BDRSuite is flexible, powerful, and supports a broad spectrum of workloads under one umbrella. That means fewer tools, easier management, and less fragmentation. It’s also used by MSPs (Managed Service Providers) around the world to deliver managed backup services. (bdrsuite.com)
We selected BDRSuite because it offers:
Multi-tenant capabilities (so we can neatly service multiple clients in one deployment)
Strong recovery flexibility (granular file, application, VM, or full system restores)
Support for hybrid backup (on-premises + cloud) for resilience
Cost-effective licensing and scalability
Good reputation, active development, and a solid feature set
How Our Managed Backup Service Works
Here’s a high-level overview of the steps and components (which we handle for you):
1. Assessment & Onboarding
We start by auditing your IT environment: servers, virtual machines, endpoints, databases, SaaS tools (if used), storage patterns, retention needs, regulatory requirements. We design a backup plan tailored to your business — frequency, retention, offsite replication, encryption levels, etc.
2. Deployment & Configuration
We install and configure BDRSuite components on your infrastructure (backup server, agents, sources). We set up backup jobs, scheduling, retention policies, encryption, bandwidth management, reporting, and alerts.
3. Local + Offsite Backup
Your data is backed up locally (on a local or network-attached storage) for fast restores. We also configure offsite replication — either to a remote DR server, to a cloud provider, or to our managed infrastructure — to protect your data against site disasters. (bdrsuite.com)
4. Monitoring, Reporting & Alerts
We continuously monitor backups. We receive alerts and reports for job success/failures, anomalies, storage thresholds, and we act proactively. You’ll also have access to dashboards or periodic summaries to see the health of your backup estate.
5. Testing & Verification
Backups are only useful if they are recoverable. We regularly test restores (full, file-level, application-level) to verify integrity and ensure your data is actually recoverable when needed.
6. Recovery & Support
If an incident occurs — hardware failure, file deletion, ransomware, or disaster — we manage and execute the recovery procedure. That might be restoring individual files, spinning up a VM from backup, or recovering a full server. We do this with you to minimize downtime.
7. Ongoing Optimization
Over time, we tune the backup schedules, retention, storage use (e.g. deduplication, compression), and resource usage. As your business evolves, we adapt the plan.
Key Benefits You’ll Experience
1. Peace of Mind & Business Continuity
You know your critical data is safe. If anything goes wrong, your systems can be restored quickly with minimal disruption.
2. Flexible Restore Options
You can restore individual files, application items, or entire servers/VMs. You’re not limited to “all or nothing.”
3. Hybrid & Offsite Protection
By backing up locally and replicating offsite (or to cloud), you’re protected against both hardware failure and site-level disasters (fire, flood, theft, etc.).
4. Efficient & Cost-Effective
With incremental backups, compression, deduplication, and “resume from where left off” mechanics, storage and bandwidth are used more efficiently. (bdrsuite.com)
5. Regulatory & Compliance Support
By maintaining retention policies, encryption, and audit trails, your backups can help you meet data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR).
6. Expert Support & SLAs
You don’t worry about the technical side — that’s our job. We guarantee defined service levels and responsiveness when recovery is needed.
7. Scalability
As your business grows (more servers, more endpoints, more data), the service scales smoothly. BDRSuite supports large and small environments alike.
FAQs / Objections
“We already use a cloud service; do we still need backups?”
Yes. Many cloud services don’t provide long-term retention or protection against user error, ransomware, or deletion. A robust backup adds a critical layer of defense.
“How fast can you recover?”
It depends on data size and the nature of the restore. File-level restores can be almost instantaneous; full VM or server recovery usually takes from minutes to hours, depending on your infrastructure and network.
“Is my data safe during transfer?”
Yes — all data is encrypted with AES-256 both in transit and at rest under BDRSuite.
“What if our internet is down?”
Local backups still exist. Offsite replicaton can resume once connectivity returns (the system picks up where it left off). (bdrsuite.com)
“Will backups slow down our systems?”
We schedule backups during off-peak hours or throttle bandwidth as needed. The system is designed to have minimal impact on your operations.
“Do you test restores?”
Yes. We perform regular validation and restore drills to confirm backups are usable.
Backing Up Key Use Cases
Backing Up Virtual Machines (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM)
BDRSuite provides agentless, image-level VM backups, supports changed-block tracking for incremental backups, and allows cross-hypervisor migration. (bdrsuite.com)
Protecting Physical Servers & Endpoints
Your Windows, Linux, and Mac machines are protected via disk image or file/folder backups. Endpoint backups include features like instant boot (turning a backup into a VM) and granular recovery. (bdrsuite.com)
SaaS & Cloud Applications (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace)
We back up mail, calendar, contacts, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, shared drives, etc. You get granular restore and export capabilities. (bdrsuite.com)
Application Databases & Systems
Need to protect SQL, MySQL, Exchange, SharePoint, etc? BDRSuite supports application-aware backups and restores for these critical systems. (bdrsuite.com)
Offsite Replication & Disaster Recovery
We replicate backups offsite or to cloud, enabling full disaster recovery. You can retrieve backups stored in cloud DR and restore as needed. (bdrsuite.com)
