When something goes wrong — and eventually it does — you're covered.
Automated backups, tested recovery procedures, and a team that responds when it matters. Because a backup you've never tested is not a backup.
Backup and recovery that actually works when you need it.
Most backup solutions fail at the worst possible moment — because they were never properly configured, tested, or monitored. We build backup strategies that are verified, documented, and ready to execute.
Cloud Backup (3-2-1 Strategy)
Three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one copy offsite. The industry standard — properly implemented.
Local Backup & NAS
On-premise backup appliances and NAS devices for fast local recovery. Critical for minimizing downtime when speed matters.
Automated Backup Monitoring
We monitor every backup job, every day. Failed backups are caught and corrected before they become a crisis.
Recovery Testing
We test your backups on a regular schedule — actually restoring files and systems to verify recovery works as expected.
Disaster Recovery Planning
A documented DR plan with defined RTOs and RPOs so your team knows exactly what to do when something goes wrong.
Underground Datacenter Hosting
Store your offsite backups in our 125-foot underground, naturally cooled datacenter right here in Kansas City.
We've helped Kansas City businesses recover from the worst.
Ransomware attacks, hardware failures, accidental deletions, natural disasters — we've seen every type of data loss event and helped businesses recover from all of them. The ones who recovered quickly had one thing in common: a tested, documented backup strategy.
We operate our own 125-foot underground datacenter in Kansas City — naturally cooled to 68°F and built to survive the events that take out above-ground infrastructure. Your offsite backups are stored in a facility we own and operate, not a distant cloud datacenter you've never seen.
Backup and recovery questions from Kansas City businesses.
How often should my data be backed up?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. For most businesses, daily backups are the minimum. For businesses with high transaction volumes or critical data, we recommend continuous or hourly backups. We'll help you define your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) — the maximum acceptable data loss — and build a backup schedule around it.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is the process of copying data so it can be restored. Disaster recovery is the broader plan for restoring business operations after a major disruption — including which systems get restored first, who is responsible for what, and how long recovery should take. You need both.
We already have a backup solution — do we need CyteWorks?
Maybe. The most common backup failures we see are: backups that haven't been tested, backups that silently failed months ago, and backups stored in the same location as the primary data. If you can't tell us the last time your backup was successfully restored, we'd recommend a backup audit.
How long does it take to recover from a ransomware attack?
With a tested backup strategy and a documented DR plan, most small businesses can be operational within 4–24 hours. Without one, recovery can take days or weeks — or may not be possible at all. The difference is almost entirely in the preparation.
Don't find out your backup doesn't work during a crisis.
