Ransomware, fire, human error — your data stays safe
Your data always secure — fast recovery guaranteed
Comprehensive data backup following the 3-2-1 rule and tested disaster recovery plans — so your business is back up and running within hours after an outage.
Anonymized Reference CaseWholesale Distributor · Europe, 120 employees+
Initial Situation
Ransomware attack encrypted all servers — no functional backup, ERP system down for 5 days.
Solution & Result
Implementation of a 3-2-1 backup architecture with immutable backups, daily tests, and a Business Continuity Plan.
During the next incident (hard drive failure): full recovery in 90 minutes, zero data loss.
One attack, one outage, one mistake — and your data is gone
- Ransomware also encrypts backup drives that are connected to the network
- A backup that has never been tested is not a backup — it is hope
- Without a disaster recovery plan, recovery takes days instead of hours
A backup system that works — proven by regular tests
- Immutable backups in EU data centers — ransomware cannot touch them
- Quarterly restore tests: we prove your backup works before you need it
- Documented Business Continuity Plan with clear responsibilities
Scope of Services
What Backup & Disaster Recovery does for you
3-2-1 Backup Strategy
3 copies, 2 different media, 1 off-site copy — in EU data centers, GDPR-compliant.
3-2-1 Standard + Air-Gap
Automated Backup
Full, incremental, and differential backups with defined RPO and RTO targets.
RPO & RTO contractually defined
Regular Restore Tests
Quarterly tested recovery — we ensure your backup actually works when it matters.
Proven & documented
Instant VM Recovery
Immediate startup of VMs from backup — minimal downtime during hardware failures.
RTO <2 hours
Business Continuity Plan
Documented emergency plan with clear responsibilities, escalation paths, and communication plans.
GDPR evidence document
Ransomware Protection
Immutable backups and air-gap copies — protected from ransomware encryption.
Ransomware-proof
Our Approach
How we work
Protection Needs Analysis
Assessment of all systems by criticality, RPO/RTO requirements, and compliance obligations.
Backup Concept
Tailored backup architecture with technology selection, storage capacity, and retention periods.
Implementation
Setup of the backup solution (Veeam, Azure Backup, etc.) and completion of the first full backup.
Test & Operations
First restore test, handover of documentation, and entry into regular monitoring operations.
After a ransomware attack hit our competitor, we immediately engaged Clouderio. When the next incident hit us, we were back online in 90 minutes — without paying any ransom.
The 3-2-1 Rule
The industry standard for
secure data backup
The 3-2-1 rule is the internationally recognized standard for business continuity. Combined with immutable backups — which even a compromised admin account cannot delete — your data is safe even in a ransomware attack.
Copies of your data
The original + at least 2 backup copies on different storage media
Different media
At least 2 different storage types — e.g. local NAS + cloud backup
Off-site copy
1 copy outside your location — in GDPR-compliant data centers
+ Air-Gap
Our backups are additionally air-gapped — physically separated from the network. Not reachable by ransomware, not deletable via network access.

Ransomware Protection
What happens when
ransomware strikes?
With our backup system, a ransomware attack does not end in catastrophe — but in a controlled recovery. Here is how it plays out:
Ransomware strikes
All reachable drives are encrypted — including connected network drives
IT team responds
Systems are isolated, damage contained, backup system activated
Recovery starts
Immutable backups unaffected — clean restoration from last restore point
Operations resumed
All critical systems restored, no data loss, no ransom paid
Restore Tests
A backup that has never been tested
is not a backup — it is hope
We test your backups quarterly through real VM restorations — not green checkmarks in software. You receive a signed restore protocol with a timestamp and RTO measurement.
Do you know whether today's backup is working?
60% of all companies that try to restore from a backup after an attack discover: it does not work. The backup was outdated, corrupted, or never tested. We change that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Backup & Disaster Recovery at a glance.
01What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?+
Backup is the data protection — disaster recovery is the plan for how to get back up and running after an outage. Together they ensure that an attack or failure costs you hours instead of days.
02How do immutable backups protect against ransomware?+
Immutable backups cannot be modified or deleted after being written — not by ransomware, not by a compromised admin account. Combined with air-gap copies, your data backup is reliably protected.
03How often are restore tests performed?+
By default quarterly — we actually start a VM from the backup and document the recovery time. You receive the test report automatically.
04How long are backups retained?+
That depends on your compliance requirements: retention rules vary by data category and industry. We define retention periods per data category together with you.
05What happens during a real outage at night or on weekends?+
Our 24/7 monitoring detects backup failures immediately and alerts our on-call team. In an emergency we are also reachable at night and on weekends — with defined response times in the SLA.
06What does Backup & Disaster Recovery cost?+
From $150 per month for simple environments. The price depends on data volume, number of systems, and desired RTO. Free assessment including recommendation within 3 business days.
