Delivered remotely — available anywhere in the US
Disaster recovery & backup that keep you online — no matter what
A server failure, ransomware hit, or flooded office shouldn't end your business. Smartweb backs up your data, replicates your systems off-site, and stands ready to recover them fast — with defined recovery objectives and tested restores. Delivered remotely and securely, anywhere in the United States.
What is disaster recovery?
When something goes wrong, get back to work — fast
Disaster recovery and business continuity are your insurance against the worst day. Backup makes copies of your data so you can restore what's lost. Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) goes further — replicating whole systems off-site so you can fail over and keep operating through a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or site loss. Business continuity ties it together with a plan and defined objectives so recovery is rehearsed, not improvised.
For small and mid-size businesses, downtime is brutally expensive — in lost revenue, idle staff, missed deadlines, and damaged trust. Yet most "backups" are never tested until the moment they're needed, and too often they fail. Smartweb removes that risk: encrypted, off-site, immutable backups that ransomware can't touch, with regular restore testing that proves they work.
Because backup and recovery don't require an on-site presence, this is one of the services we deliver remotely to businesses anywhere in the United States — managed around the clock by our team, with the same accountability our New York and Long Island clients rely on. Pair it with our managed cybersecurity to prevent incidents and recover from the ones that slip through.
What's included
Backup, recovery, and continuity — covered
A disaster recovery plan from Smartweb bundles the six capabilities below. Mix and match to fit your systems, recovery objectives, and budget.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Full-system replication to secure, off-site infrastructure so you can fail over and keep working when your primary environment goes down — turning a multi-day outage into hours or minutes.
Veeam Cloud Connect Backup
Enterprise-grade, off-site backup powered by Veeam Cloud Connect — efficient, encrypted, and built for reliable restores, backed by one of the most trusted names in data protection.
Ransomware Recovery & Immutable Backups
Immutable backup copies that can't be altered or deleted — even by an attacker with admin rights — so a ransomware hit means restoring to a clean point instead of paying a ransom.
Business Continuity Planning
A documented plan with defined recovery time and recovery point objectives, roles, and runbooks — so when an incident hits, everyone knows exactly what to do and how fast you'll be back.
Failover & Restore Testing
Regular, scheduled tests of your backups and failover process that prove recovery actually works — so the first time you restore isn't during a real disaster, when it's too late to find out.
Recovery is the safety net. To stop incidents before they start,

Why it matters
The business case for disaster recovery
Downtime and data loss are existential risks for a small business. Tested recovery protects your revenue, your reputation, and your ability to keep operating through anything.
Stay open through any disruption
Tested backups and failover mean a failed server, cyberattack, or storm is a quick restore — not days of downtime, lost data, or a ransom you're forced to pay.
Never pay a ransom
With immutable, off-site copies attackers can't reach, you restore to a clean point on your terms — removing the leverage that makes ransomware pay off in the first place.
Know your recovery, in advance
Defined RTO and RPO, tested on a schedule, replace hope with certainty — so you know exactly how fast you'll be back and how little data you'll lose, before anything happens.
Satisfy compliance & insurers
Documented, tested backup and recovery is now table stakes for audits and cyber-insurance. We implement and evidence it — helping you meet requirements and qualify for coverage.
Rooted local, delivered nationwide
A recovery partner you can reach — wherever you are
Smartweb is a long-established technology firm rooted in New York City, Nassau County, and Suffolk County — but because disaster recovery and cloud backup are delivered remotely, we protect businesses anywhere in the United States. Your data is replicated to secure, geographically separate infrastructure and managed by our team around the clock.
You get senior engineers who answer the phone, recovery plans that are actually tested, and one accountable partner for backup, failover, and continuity — not a faceless platform you only hear from when the bill arrives. The same standard our local clients rely on, available coast to coast.

Assess
We review your systems, data, and current backups, identify what's critical, and agree recovery objectives (RTO/RPO) with you. Free and no-obligation.
02
Plan
We design a backup and recovery architecture to meet those objectives — schedules, retention, immutability, and a documented continuity runbook.
03
Replicate
We back up and replicate your data and systems to secure, off-site infrastructure — encrypted and immutable — then monitor every job around the clock.
04
Recover
We test restores and failover on a schedule, and when a real incident hits, we execute the plan — getting you back online against the objectives we agreed.
Common questions
Disaster recovery FAQ
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup (BaaS) makes copies of your data so you can restore individual files or systems. Disaster recovery (DRaaS) goes further — it replicates whole systems so your business can fail over and keep operating after a major outage, ransomware attack, or site loss, with little to no downtime. Most businesses need both: backup for everyday recovery, and disaster recovery for worst-case continuity. Smartweb delivers them together.
What are RTO and RPO, and why do they matter?
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you need to be back online after an incident. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data — measured in time — you can afford to lose. We define both with you up front, then design backup frequency and recovery infrastructure to meet them, so recovery expectations are agreed and tested, not guessed at during a crisis.
Can your disaster recovery protect us against ransomware?
Yes. We keep encrypted, off-site backups with immutable copies — versions that cannot be altered or deleted, even by an attacker with admin access — using Veeam Cloud Connect. If ransomware hits, we restore your systems to a recent clean point rather than paying a ransom or rebuilding from scratch, and we test restores regularly to prove they work.
Do you offer disaster recovery outside of New York?
Yes. While Smartweb is rooted in New York and Long Island, disaster recovery and cloud backup don't require an on-site presence — they're delivered remotely and securely, so we provide them to businesses anywhere in the United States. Your data is replicated to secure, geographically separate infrastructure and managed by our team around the clock.
