Most small and mid-sized businesses believe they are protected because they “have a backup somewhere.” But backups alone are not enough to protect your organization from ransomware, hardware failure, corruption, insider mistakes, or natural disasters.
Today’s threat landscape demands a complete Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) strategy — a structured system that ensures your business can recover instantly, with minimal downtime, no data loss, and no operational disruption. Always-on businesses must have a disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), to ensure their data is accessible anytime.
PBCLLC designs BDR solutions tailored specifically for SMBs that depend on uptime, data integrity, and fast recovery.
1. Backups Fail More Often Than Businesses Realize
A recent industry study found:
- 58% of backups fail during restore
- 45% of businesses have incomplete backups
- 32% of SMBs have never tested recovery
Many businesses assume their backups work, but unless the data is tested, verified, and monitored, failures go unnoticed until disaster strikes.
PBCLLC prevents this through:
- Automated backup monitoring
- Daily status verification
- Regular test restorations
- Immutable / ransomware-proof backups
- Offsite and cloud redundancy
- DRaaS

2. Ransomware Doesn’t Just Lock Your Files — It Targets Your Backups
Modern ransomware attacks don’t simply encrypt your data — they now attempt to:
- Delete backup folders
- Corrupt backup files
- Infect attached storage
- Disable backup agents
- Breach cloud sync apps
This is why businesses need isolated, immutable, and offsite backups.
PBCLLC ensures backups are:
- Encrypted
- Off-network
- Immutable
- Versioned
- Protected behind access controls
- Stored in multiple locations
This removes the attacker’s ability to destroy your recovery options.
3. Downtime Is More Expensive Than Data Loss
For most SMBs, the real threat isn’t losing data — it’s losing access to systems.
Downtime causes:
- Lost revenue
- Missed deadlines
- Production stoppages
- Compliance failures
- Employee downtime
- Customer dissatisfaction
A proper BDR system focuses not just on backups but on business continuity:
- How fast can you recover a server?
- How quickly can remote teams operate?
- How long can operations continue without critical systems?
PBCLLC implements continuity-focused solutions that keep your business running even during an outage.
4. Business Continuity Is Now a Compliance Requirement
Many regulatory frameworks require formal backup processes:
- NIST
- HIPAA
- CJIS
- PCI
- CMMC
- State privacy laws
That includes:
- Backup frequency documentation
- Offsite backup requirements
- Retention schedules
- Disaster recovery testing
- Encryption policies

5. Backup Without a Disaster Recovery Plan Is Not Enough
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) defines:
- What systems must be restored first
- Who is responsible for what
- How quickly systems must be recovered
- Where data is restored
- What actions employees take
- How communications are handled
Without a plan, even good backups lead to long recovery times and confusion.
PBCLLC builds DRP documentation that ensures a smooth, predictable recovery process for any scenario.
6. Real-World Example: How BDR Protects Businesses
In the past, a PBCLLC client suffered a full server failure due to hardware corruption. Without BDR, this would have caused days of downtime.
Because PBCLLC had:
- Cloud backups
- Local appliance backups
- Daily verification
- A documented DR plan
…we restored the entire server within 2 hours with zero data loss, because our disaster recovery plan was activated and the server was initialized in the DRaaS environment until the server on-site was fully restored and passed all our tests for availability and accessibility of data.

Bottom Line
Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) is one of the most critical — yet misunderstood — components of modern cybersecurity.
For SMBs, the question is not if a failure will occur, but when.
With PBCLLC’s BDR solutions, your business gains:
- Reliable backups
- Fast recovery
- Protection from ransomware
- Compliance assurance
- Minimal downtime
- Peace of mind
- Quicker data accessibility
