Backup & Disaster Recovery

Data protection and system recovery to strengthen business continuity.

Backup and disaster recovery solutions for servers, virtualized environments, applications and cloud services, with protection policies, monitoring and periodic recovery testing.

Data loss, system downtime and cybersecurity incidents can compromise the continuity of an organization's operations. Overwan implements and manages backup and disaster recovery solutions tailored to the criticality of systems, information protection requirements and the operational needs of each customer. By defining backup policies, recovery objectives (RPO and RTO), backup protection mechanisms and periodic restore tests, we help organizations prepare to recover their data and services in the event of failures, incidents or disaster scenarios.

Protection strategies and backups

We design and implement backup strategies tailored to the requirements of each organization, taking into account data criticality, retention periods and recovery objectives. Solutions can follow the 3-2-1 principle and variants such as 3-2-1-1-0, combining different media, locations and protection mechanisms, according to the architecture and technologies in use. Protection can cover physical servers, virtual machines, databases, applications and cloud services, including Microsoft 365 environments, subject to technical assessment and definition of the contracted scope.

Ransomware protection and backup integrity

We implement measures designed to strengthen the protection of backups against deletion, unauthorized modification and compromise, including immutability, isolation and access segregation mechanisms, where supported by the solution. We complement these measures with retention policies, permission controls, job monitoring and backup integrity verification. Combining different protection mechanisms helps reduce the risk of backup compromise and improves recovery capability following cybersecurity incidents.

Disaster Recovery and recovery testing

We support the definition and implementation of disaster recovery strategies, taking into account critical systems, technology dependencies and recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO and RPO). Depending on the requirements and the contracted architecture, solutions may include data and system replication, alternative recovery environments and documented procedures for service activation and restoration. We perform restore tests and, where included in the service scope, disaster recovery exercises, enabling the assessment of defined procedures, the identification of limitations and the introduction of improvements.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Backup & Disaster Recovery take to implement?

It depends on scope, but most Backup & Disaster Recovery engagements kick off within 2 to 4 weeks of signing. We run discovery, design and a phased rollout plan to minimize risk and operational impact.

How is Backup & Disaster Recovery priced?

Either fixed-price (turnkey project) or subscription/OPEX (monthly). After discovery we send a detailed proposal with scope, deliverables, SLAs and team — no hidden fees.

What SLAs do you offer for Backup & Disaster Recovery?

Response SLAs from 15 minutes for critical incidents (P1), with 24x7x365 coverage where applicable. We report auditable monthly metrics: availability, MTTR, SLA compliance and business KPIs.

Do you work with our existing infrastructure and vendors?

Yes. We are vendor-agnostic and integrate with Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, VMware, AWS, Azure, GCP, Veeam and 25+ vendors. We reuse existing investments whenever it makes technical and financial sense.

How do you ensure security and compliance (NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001)?

We apply Zero Trust principles, encryption in transit and at rest, environment segregation and continuous auditing. Documentation aligned with NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001 and DORA, with audit-ready reports.
