Lower MainlandRemote-first with local coordinationReviewed 2026-10-06

01Backup & Disaster Recovery with Surrey context built in

Surrey is BC's second-largest city and one of the fastest-growing urban centres in Canada. 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 Surrey, 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.

02What the engagement includes

A typical backup & disaster recovery engagement for a Surrey client starts with discovery, followed by design, implementation and a stabilisation period. Core deliverables include image-based server backup with immutable offsite copies, plus documentation your team keeps. Tools commonly involved are Veeam, Immutable object storage, Microsoft 365 backup, Azure Backup and AWS S3 Object Lock. Every item is written into a statement of work with owners and dates, so nothing depends on assumptions.

Pricing for backup & disaster recovery is shown as starting-from ranges: projects from $2,500, managed plans from $89 to $199 per user per month, vCIO retainers from $1,500 per month and security assessments from $1,900.

04A predictable delivery sequence

Our delivery method protects your team's time. We begin with a short assessment and a clear written scope, schedule work around your busiest periods and validate each stage with you before moving on. After go-live, IT Experts stays engaged through a review period so any rough edges are removed. Target: restore test every quarter, immutable copy of every critical dataset, RPO of 24 hours or better for standard systems.

05Regional 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 Surrey: 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.
