How do you keep a Vancouver office running when a server fails?

We build servers on Hyper-V, so a failed server can come back on other hardware. Restores from local storage have taken less than 2 hours. Backups follow 3-2-1, with one copy offsite here in Vancouver that is locked for 30 days, and restores are tested.

Hyper-V

Your server is a set of files that can run on other hardware.

See how it works for Hyper-V

Immutable backups

Copies locked for 30 days can’t be changed or deleted, even by ransomware.
