Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Backup, recovery, and planning that keep your business running through a cyberattack, a failure, or a disaster, and get you back fast when something does go wrong. One accountable team that learns how your business works.
If You Lost Everything Tomorrow, Could You Get It Back?
Most businesses have a backup running somewhere. Far fewer could actually recover from a ransomware attack, a failed server, a natural disaster, or a mistaken deletion, and even fewer have ever tested whether their recovery works under real pressure. That gap is where a bad day turns into a closed business. We back up your data, replicate it to secure offsite locations, and build and test the plan for getting you running again, so a disaster becomes an interruption you recover from instead of an event that ends you.
What This Means for Your Business
- Protect your data across cloud, virtual, and on-premise systems with encrypted, tested backups.
- Recover from ransomware without paying, using backups that cannot be altered or deleted.
- Get back online through replication to secure offsite sites, without building a second data center.
- Know how fast you can recover and how much data is at risk, with recovery targets set on purpose.
- Cover a mixed environment: cloud apps, virtual servers, and physical hardware, all in one plan.
- Walk into a disaster with a plan that has been tested, not one written and never opened.
What You Get with Links Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Continuity is not one product. It is backup, recovery, and planning working together, so a problem at any layer does not become the problem that closes your doors. Here is how the pieces fit.
Backup That Actually Comes Back
We back up your data across cloud platforms, physical servers, and virtual environments, encrypted and monitored daily with automated alerts and full audit trails. Because backups are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted, ransomware cannot destroy your last good copy, and recovery of files, systems, or whole workloads is fast and flexible.
Recovery Without a Second Data Center
We replicate your systems to secure, geographically separate recovery sites and manage the failover for you, so you do not carry the cost of maintaining backup infrastructure of your own. Recovery is orchestrated and tested ahead of time, so failover works when you actually need it, not just on paper.
Recovery Targets Set on Purpose
Not every system needs to come back in the same order or at the same speed. We plan your recovery time and recovery point objectives around what your business actually needs, so you know how quickly critical systems return and how much data is at risk, rather than finding out during a crisis.
A Plan Built Before You Need It
Technology recovery is only part of continuity. We analyze the impact a disruption would have across your systems, build a continuity strategy around your real priorities, and run simulations to validate that it holds up. When something goes wrong, you are following a tested plan instead of improvising.
BACKUP AS A SERVICE
Secure Backup for Cloud, Virtual, and On-Premise
A backup only matters if it covers everything important and actually restores. We protect your data wherever it lives, from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to your physical servers and virtual environments, with encryption, daily monitoring, and audit trails, so nothing critical is left uncovered.
And because the backups cannot be altered or deleted, an attacker who reaches your systems cannot destroy your ability to recover. Here is what that covers.
- Encrypted backups for cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, plus physical servers and virtual environments.
- Immutable backups that ransomware cannot alter or delete, with secure long-term archive and disaster recovery.
- Daily monitoring, automated alerts, and full audit trails, with fast recovery for files, systems, or entire workloads.
DISASTER RECOVERY AS A SERVICE
Replication and Rapid Recovery, Fully Managed
When a disaster takes out your primary systems, you need somewhere to run while you recover. We replicate your environment to secure, geographically separate sites and manage the whole process, so you get reliable recovery for critical workloads without the cost of maintaining a second set of infrastructure.
Because failover is orchestrated and tested in advance, it works when you need it, across whatever mix of systems you run. Here is what that covers.
- Fully managed replication to secure, geographically separate recovery sites, with offsite failover that is orchestrated and tested.
- Recovery time and recovery point objectives planned around your business, so critical systems come back in the right order.
- Support for hybrid environments across cloud apps, virtual servers, and physical infrastructure, with no secondary data center to maintain.
CONTINUITY PLANNING AND CONSULTING
A Tested Plan, Not a Binder on a Shelf
The businesses that survive a disaster are the ones that planned for it before it happened. We start by understanding what a disruption would actually cost you across your systems, then build a continuity strategy around those priorities and test it, so the plan is something you can rely on rather than a document nobody has opened.
That means looking honestly at where the risks are, from cloud services to connectivity to on-premise hardware, and validating that your recovery holds up. Here is what that covers.
- Business impact analysis across cloud, hybrid, and legacy systems, so you know what matters most and what it costs to lose it.
- A continuity strategy built around your specific priorities, not a generic template.
- Disaster recovery simulation, testing, and validation, plus risk identification across cloud services, connectivity, and on-premise hardware.
