Backup & Disaster Recovery in Burnaby, BC
Immutable, tested backups for servers, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and cloud workloads, with recovery objectives written into your agreement.
01Backup & Disaster Recovery with Burnaby context built in
Burnaby is a dynamic commercial hub with a strong mix of tech, retail and industrial enterprise. Ransomware operators now target backups first. Immutable copies, offsite storage in Canada and routinely tested recovery steps are what separate a bad week from the end of a business. In Burnaby, we layer that thinking onto the realities of the Lower Mainland, where the business landscape includes a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR. The result is a service plan that reflects your actual users, suppliers and risks rather than a generic template.
02Scope, deliverables and tooling
For Burnaby organisations, backup & disaster recovery is scoped as a defined set of outcomes. You can expect image-based server backup with immutable offsite copies, a documented configuration and a hand-over session for your staff. We work with proven platforms such as Veeam, Immutable object storage, Microsoft 365 backup, Azure Backup and AWS S3 Object Lock. We prefer open, supported tooling you can retain, so you are never trapped if you decide to change providers.
03Regional realities for backup & disaster recovery
In the Lower Mainland, dense fibre, carrier-neutral data centres and a deep pool of local IT talent, but also heavy competition for it and constant office-lease churn. That affects how we architect backup & disaster recovery for Burnaby: where we host workloads, how we manage devices remotely and what failover we recommend. We also consider disruption risk - earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage - when choosing backup frequency, recovery objectives and the location of offsite copies.
04What to expect on cost
Exact cost depends on user count, locations and complexity, which is why we provide a fixed quote after a short assessment. As a guide, backup & disaster recovery work usually starts at $2,500 for a defined project, or sits inside a managed plan of $89 to $199 per user per month. There is no lock-in, GST is 5%, and a launch discount of 10% is available. Reach us at (604) 632-4959 or [email protected].
