Data Backup Solutions & Disaster Recovery
Watch this webinar to learn how proper data backup and disaster recovery planning protects businesses in the Raleigh-Durham area from data loss, downtime, and costly disruptions.
Topics Covered in This Webinar
Data loss can strike at any time -- hardware failure, ransomware, human error, or natural disaster. This webinar walks you through the essential components of a business backup strategy and explains how disaster recovery planning can mean the difference between a minor setback and a business-ending event.
Backup Fundamentals
Learn the difference between full, incremental, and differential backups, and understand which strategy is right for your business based on data volume and recovery needs.
RTO & RPO Planning
Understand Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives -- the two metrics that define how quickly you need to recover and how much data loss your business can tolerate.
Offsite & Cloud Backup
Discover why keeping your only backup copy at the same location as your servers creates a single point of failure, and how offsite and cloud backups provide protection against site-level disasters.
Testing Your Recovery Plan
A backup that has never been tested is a backup you cannot trust. Learn how regular restore tests validate your disaster recovery plan and identify gaps before a real emergency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I back up my business data?
At minimum, critical business data should be backed up daily. For many businesses in the Triangle, more frequent backups -- every few hours or continuous -- may be appropriate depending on how much data you can afford to lose.
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
The 3-2-1 rule recommends keeping three copies of your data, stored on two different types of media, with one copy stored offsite. This approach protects against a wide range of failure scenarios.

How do I know if my current backup is working?

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Backup Solutions & Disaster Recovery
Q: How often should my business data be backed up?
The frequency of data backups depends on how often your data changes and how much data loss your business can tolerate. Petronella Technology Group recommends at minimum daily backups for most businesses, with more critical environments requiring hourly or real-time replication. Our data backup and recovery solutions are configured to automate this process, ensuring your data is consistently protected without requiring manual intervention from your staff.
Q: What is the difference between data backup and disaster recovery?
Data backup refers to the process of creating copies of your files and databases to a separate storage location so they can be restored if the originals are lost or corrupted. Disaster recovery is a broader strategy that encompasses backup but also includes the plans, processes, and infrastructure needed to restore your entire IT environment after a major disruption such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, or hardware failure. Petronella Technology Group designs solutions that address both backup and disaster recovery to ensure complete business continuity.
Q: Where is my backup data stored and is it secure?
Petronella Technology Group utilizes enterprise-grade data centers with SOC 2 compliance, redundant power systems, and physical security controls. Your backup data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption. We offer multiple storage options including local backup, offsite cloud backup, and hybrid solutions that combine both approaches for maximum protection. Our team configures retention policies based on your compliance requirements and business needs.
Q: How quickly can my data be restored after a disaster?
Recovery time depends on the volume of data and the type of backup solution in place. With our managed backup solutions, most businesses can expect critical systems to be restored within hours rather than days. We design recovery plans with defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) to ensure your expectations are met. Regular disaster recovery testing is included in our service to verify that backups are functioning correctly and restoration procedures work as expected.
Q: Do your backup solutions meet HIPAA and other compliance requirements?
Yes, Petronella Technology Group designs backup and disaster recovery solutions that meet the requirements of HIPAA, CMMC, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory frameworks. This includes encrypted storage, access controls, audit logging, and documented retention policies. Our founder, Craig Petronella, is a CMMC Registered Practitioner and Licensed Digital Forensic Examiner, bringing compliance expertise directly into the design of every backup solution we deploy.
