Backup & Restore

Protect your systems. Keep a recovery path ready.

Managed backup and restore for business systems, applications, and data— with recovery designed around the way your environment actually operates.

Specific systems, activities, and responsibilities are defined by the agreed service scope.

From protection toward recovery
  1. Source Physical and virtual workloads
  2. Snapshot Point-in-time capture
  3. Protected Copy Separate recovery layer
  4. Restore Point Verified recovery positions
  5. Recovery Return systems to service

Illustrative sample — a conceptual path, not a live system status.

The recovery question

A backup is only useful when you can recover from it.

Modern environments mix physical systems, virtual workloads, business data, and changing infrastructure. Creating copies alone does not answer how those systems return to service.

Recovery readiness considers recovery points, file-level and volume-level restore options, system recovery, verification, storage placement, and replication—within the limits of the agreed service scope.

Backup is not the outcome. Recovery is.

What we protect

Protection built around your environment

Coverage depends on the systems and workloads included in the agreed ExcelyTech service scope.

  • 01

    Physical Systems

    Servers and hosts that run core business workloads on dedicated hardware.

  • 02

    Virtual Environments

    Virtual machines and related workloads where virtualization is part of the environment.

  • 03

    Windows & Linux

    Operating systems commonly found in mixed business infrastructures, where supported.

  • 04

    Business Data & Volumes

    Application data and storage volumes that need a clear path back to usable state.

Recovery paths

Different incidents need different recovery paths.

Available restore options depend on the protected systems, the backup method in use, and the agreed service scope.

  • 01

    File & Folder Recovery

    Restore selected files or folders from an available recovery point where supported.

  • 02

    Volume Recovery

    Recover a volume when broader data sets need to return together, where supported.

  • 03

    Full System Recovery

    Restore a system image to return a machine toward an earlier operating state, where supported.

  • 04

    Physical-to-Virtual Recovery

    Recover a physical system into a virtual environment when that path is supported for the workload.

  • 05

    Virtual-to-Physical Recovery

    Recover a virtual system onto physical hardware where the environment and tooling support it.

  • 06

    System Migration

    Use recovery imagery to support planned moves between systems, where supported and agreed in scope.

Verification

Don't wait for an incident to discover that a backup cannot be used.

Backup-image verification can help establish that recovery points remain usable before they are needed. It is a readiness activity—not a guarantee that every restore will succeed in every circumstance.

Verification activities depend on the agreed service scope and environment.

Replication

Keep recovery copies where they make sense.

Replication destinations depend on the environment and agreed service scope. Not every location is appropriate for every customer.

  • Local storage
  • Network locations
  • Remote servers
  • Colocation environments
  • Private cloud
  • Supported third-party cloud locations

Exact destinations are confirmed only in the agreed ExcelyTech service scope, depending on the environment and operational requirements.

Managed service

Technology handles the backup. We help manage the recovery readiness.

ExcelyTech provides a managed service layer around backup and restore activities, so protection and recovery readiness stay part of ongoing operations—not only a one-time setup.

Activities depend on the agreed service scope and environment.

  • 01Backup configuration
  • 02Backup monitoring
  • 03Recovery-point review
  • 04Verification activities
  • 05Backup-image management
  • 06Replication management
  • 07Restore assistance
  • 08Recovery coordination
  • 09Ongoing service reporting

Service philosophy

Protection should fit the workload—not force every system into the same model.

Environments differ. Some systems need frequent recovery points; others need careful restore planning. ExcelyTech frames backup around the workload, the operating context, and the recovery questions that matter to the business.

The customer-facing service remains ExcelyTech's. Supporting technology sits beneath the service and does not replace a clear conversation about scope.

Start with a conversation

Your backup strategy should have a recovery plan behind it.

Let's look at what you're protecting, where your recovery points live, and how you would restore critical systems when you need them.
