BackUpBeast Cloud Backup for Business
Automated, encrypted, compliance-ready cloud backup managed by Petronella Technology Group. Protect servers, workstations, cloud apps, and critical data from ransomware, hardware failure, and human error - with rapid recovery when every minute matters.
Your Business Data Is the Target
Ransomware gangs, disgruntled insiders, failed hard drives, ransomware-as-a-service affiliates, accidental deletions, fire, flood, and cloud vendor outages all share one thing: each one can take your business offline in an afternoon. Recovery without a tested, off-site backup strategy usually means paying a ransom, rebuilding from scratch, or closing the doors.
BackUpBeast is the managed cloud backup service Petronella Technology Group provides to small and mid-size businesses, regulated industries, and managed service partners who cannot afford to gamble with their data. We handle the software, the monitoring, the encryption, the retention rules, and the recovery drills - you get a backup system that actually works when you need it most.
We have been securing and restoring business data since 2002 from our Raleigh, NC headquarters. Every backup plan we deploy is designed, monitored, and recovery-tested by our in-house team of cybersecurity and compliance engineers - led by Craig Petronella, CMMC-RP, CCNA, CWNE, DFE #604180.
What BackUpBeast Protects and How
Six pillars of managed cloud backup - engineered for ransomware resilience, audit readiness, and rapid recovery.
Automated, Scheduled Backups
File, image, and application-aware backups run on schedules tailored to your recovery point objective. No one on your team has to remember to click a button or rotate a tape.
AES-256 Encryption End-to-End
Data is encrypted before it leaves your network and remains encrypted in transit and at rest in our secure cloud. Only your authorized administrators hold the keys.
Immutable, Ransomware-Resistant Copies
Backups are stored in immutable repositories with versioning and air-gapped retention. Even if attackers reach your production environment, they cannot alter or delete your recovery points.
Hybrid Local + Cloud Architecture
Local appliances give you near-instant restore speeds; the cloud copy protects you against fire, flood, theft, and targeted attacks on your primary site. Recover from whichever tier is fastest.
Application-Aware Protection
Coverage for Windows Server, VMware, Hyper-V, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, SQL, Exchange, and line-of-business databases - with consistent restore points for transactional systems.
24/7 Monitoring and Recovery Testing
Every backup job is monitored around the clock. Our engineers investigate failures, document retention compliance, and run scheduled recovery tests so you know the backups actually restore.
Built for Businesses That Cannot Afford Downtime
BackUpBeast is designed for the organizations most likely to be targeted - and most likely to lose customers, contracts, or licensure if data is unrecoverable.
Small and Mid-Size Businesses
5 to 500 employees without a full-time backup administrator. We become your backup team.
Regulated Industries
Healthcare (HIPAA), defense contractors (CMMC / NIST 800-171), finance (SOX / GLBA), and professional services (SOC 2) with documented retention requirements.
Managed Service Partners
MSPs and IT consulting firms that need a white-glove backup platform for their clients - co-managed or fully outsourced to Petronella.
Ransomware Recovery Clients
Companies that have already been hit once and refuse to be hit again. We rebuild your backup posture so the next attack is a non-event.
Onboarding in Four Steps
From scoping call to first successful restore test, most clients are fully protected within two weeks.
Assessment
Free discovery call and data inventory. We map every server, endpoint, database, and SaaS app you need covered.
Design
We set retention, RPO, and RTO targets aligned with your compliance framework and business tolerance for downtime.
Deploy
Agents and local appliances are installed, initial seed uploads run overnight, and encryption keys are issued to your authorized contacts.
Verify
We run a live restore drill, deliver a recovery runbook, and enroll your environment into 24/7 monitoring. Ongoing restore tests happen quarterly.
Backup Controls That Map to Your Framework
BackUpBeast is architected to satisfy the backup, retention, and recovery requirements of the frameworks our clients are assessed against.
CMMC 2.0
Maps to MP.L2-3.8.9 and SI.L2-3.14.6 for backup, integrity, and system recovery. Pairs with our CMMC compliance program.
HIPAA Security Rule
Supports 164.308(a)(7) contingency planning with documented backup, disaster recovery, and emergency mode operation procedures.
SOC 2 / ISO 27001
Covers availability, processing integrity, and A.12.3 information backup control objectives with evidence Petronella provides for your audit.
NIST 800-171
Meets CP-9 contingency plan backup, CP-10 system recovery, and MP-6 media sanitization when paired with our ComplianceArmor documentation system.
Priced to the Data You Actually Protect
BackUpBeast is licensed per protected workload with storage billed by compressed, deduplicated data volume. Most small-to-mid-size businesses land between the cost of a single hour of unplanned downtime and the cost of a partial ransomware event - every single month.
Because every environment is different, we quote after a free discovery call so you are not paying for capacity you do not use. Contact Petronella for a custom quote that includes software, storage, 24/7 monitoring, unlimited recovery assistance, and quarterly restore testing.
BackUpBeast Works Best as Part of a Layered Defense
Backup alone is not a security strategy. Backup is the last line of defense when every other control has failed. We deploy BackUpBeast alongside endpoint detection, identity protection, and patch management from our cybersecurity services team, behavioral AI monitoring from our AI services practice, and audit-ready documentation from ComplianceArmor.
The result: attackers who manage to encrypt a workstation cannot laterally reach the backup repository, cannot alter retention policies, and cannot stop Petronella from restoring you - usually before anyone notices the ransom note.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does BackUpBeast back up?
Physical and virtual Windows / Linux servers, Windows and macOS workstations, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace mailboxes and drives, SQL Server, Exchange, VMware, Hyper-V, and most line-of-business applications. Our scoping call confirms every workload is covered before you sign.
How fast can Petronella restore after an incident?
Individual file restores typically complete in minutes from the local appliance. Full server or virtual machine restores range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on data volume and whether you restore on-site or to our recovery cloud. Every RTO is documented in your runbook.
Is BackUpBeast designed to survive ransomware?
Yes. Backup repositories are immutable, credentials are separated from the production Active Directory, and retention policies cannot be shortened without two-person authorization. That is the single biggest difference between BackUpBeast and the consumer backup tools most ransomware victims discover were never actually protecting them.
Do you provide proof of backups for auditors?
Every client receives monthly backup health reports, retention evidence, and restore test results. When your CMMC, HIPAA, or SOC 2 auditor asks for evidence, we hand you the documented artifacts - no scrambling.
What happens if we already have another backup tool?
We run a free parallel assessment, identify gaps in your current coverage (most environments have them), and migrate you to BackUpBeast with no data loss. Many clients run both tools for 30 days to validate the cutover.
Can we keep data in a specific region for compliance?
Yes. We offer U.S.-only storage regions for clients with data residency requirements, including those handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under CMMC.
