Managed Data Backup
& Disaster Recovery
The Importance of Proactive Recovery
While many companies focus on simply creating a backup, Ethixa Solutions understands that a backup is only as good as your ability to recover from it. We believe a proactive approach to Data Backup & Disaster Recovery is essential for business continuity, safeguarding your operations from ransomware attacks, hardware failures, and unexpected downtime. Our strategy begins with a professional consultation to identify your most critical business processes, allowing us to build a recovery plan long before an emergency ever occurs.
Our Backman program provides customizable backup and recovery options tailored to fit a wide range of requirements and budgets, ensuring that your business can recover within your required timeframe.
How We Implement
Data Protection & Disaster Recovery
Ethixa’s Backman program is a comprehensive service designed to protect your systems, data, and business processes. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we provide strategic solutions for each of your unique systems.
Business Continuity
Our primary goal is maintaining your business’ operational capabilities. We work with you to evaluate what business processes are most important and develop a recovery plan that is ready long before any emergency.
Image-Based Backups
We use image-based backups that take snapshots of your entire system, not just the data. This simplifies and accelerates the recovery process, because the entire system is restored at once.
Standby Systems
The backup appliance that manages your backups can also function as a host system for emergency recoveries. Any systems designated as business critical are configured for standby status, allowing for rapid system recovery.
Off-Site Replication
The Backman program includes automated, frequent off-site replication to maintain copies in a secure, remote cloud location – ensuring that in the event of a site failure, operations can be run from the cloud.
Develop a Custom Backup

Ethixa has created a modular approach, allowing you to select the most appropriate options for each business asset. Our custom pricing tool enables us to examine options with you, reviewing scenarios on-the-fly to create a customized plan that perfectly fits your needs and budget. The Backman is a key piece of Ethixa’s suite of managed IT services.

The High Price of Ignoring Risk
In today’s fast-paced digital world, a single cyberattack, hardware failure, or even human error can bring your business to a grinding halt. A simple, infrequent or untested backup is no longer sufficient. Without a robust Data Backup & Disaster Recovery plan, the consequences can be catastrophic. These statistics highlight why proactive data protection isn’t just a technology issue… it’s a critical business imperative:
- 90% of businesses that experience unrecoverable data loss for more than 10 days ultimately fail within one year.

(Source: Gartner) - 60% of small businesses that suffer a major data loss incident close their doors within six months.
(Source: U.S. National Cyber Security Alliance) - 49% of all data loss incidents are a result of human error
