Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

A backup is a copy of your data; a disaster recovery plan is how you actually get your business running again after something goes wrong, with a real recovery time and recovery point already agreed on, not guessed at under pressure. Plenty of businesses have backups but no plan, no defined targets, no tested restore, no written steps, so when disaster hits they're improvising while the clock runs. LRG provides both: protected, tested backups and a documented recovery plan built to the recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) targets we set with you.

That's exactly what good backup and recovery is for, and the answer is yes, when it's designed right. The catch is that modern ransomware deliberately targets your backups too, so ordinary backups can be encrypted alongside everything else. We design isolated, protected backup copies and a clean recovery path, so you wipe the infected systems and restore to a known-good point instead of paying. Paired with strong prevention, it turns ransomware from a business-ending event into a bad afternoon.

This is why off-site matters. A local backup sitting in the same building does you no good if that building floods or loses power for a week, and on the Gulf Coast, hurricane season runs every June 1 through November 30, six months where that's a real possibility, not a hypothetical. We keep a secure copy of your data off-site in the cloud, well away from a local storm, and, where it fits, set you up to keep operating remotely while the office is down. We build for the season we actually live through every year.

More than most owners expect. Widely cited industry research puts the average cost of unplanned downtime at around $427 a minute for a small or mid-size business, and a single week without systems can run past $60,000 for a 20-person office, with more than 40% of businesses that suffer a major disaster never reopening at all. Those are general market figures, not a claim about any specific client, but they're exactly why "we have backups" isn't the same as "we can recover." A free backup & recovery review tells you where you actually stand, before a number like that becomes yours to pay.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how fast you need to be back up; RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you can afford to lose, measured in time, like 'no more than an hour's worth.' They matter because they turn 'we have backups' into a concrete, agreed target the recovery plan is actually engineered to hit. We set both with you up front, so recovery is measured against a real number instead of a hope.

LRG Technology, based in Spanish Fort, builds and manages tested backup and disaster recovery for businesses across Mobile, Baldwin County, Pensacola, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The same local team that designs your recovery plan is the one you call when you actually need it, not a call center reading from a script.
