Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery — Never Lose a Byte
Secure, immutable backup for the data your business runs on. Servers, PCs, email, and collaboration files — copied continuously, encrypted end to end, and stored in our Southern California datacenter held to published standards.
Backup is only half the job. We pair it with tested disaster recovery so that after a hardware failure, an accidental deletion, or a ransomware attack, you are back to work in minutes — not scrambling for days.
Your backups live on infrastructure we own
Most providers resell someone else's storage and hope the copy is good. We keep your protected data on infrastructure we own inside a Southern California datacenter held to published standards, with a geo-separate site for replication and recovery. When you need it back, accountability ends with us.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest — immutable copies ransomware can't touch
- Monitored around the clock, with alerts on every backup job
- Recovery tested on a schedule, not assumed
What we back up
Four coordinated layers protect every place your data lives — on-premises, in the cloud, and on the devices your team carries.
Server Backup
Local and cloud backup for physical, virtual, and legacy systems. An initial full snapshot is followed by efficient incremental backups, kept in encrypted cloud storage.
PC Backup
Continuous, near-real-time backup built for remote and hybrid work. Laptops and desktops are protected against loss, theft, and ransomware without anyone remembering to hit save.
Server Replication
Beyond standard backup: replication of physical and virtual environments for quick datacenter restoration, so critical systems fail over and business continuity holds.
Email & Collaboration Backup
Cloud email platforms don't fully back themselves up. We automatically protect mailboxes, attachments, calendars, contacts, and shared collaboration data — recoverable even after a deletion.
What you get with every backup plan
Backup is a discipline, not a checkbox. Here's what's built into the service:
| Capability | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Automated backup | Routine, hands-off data preservation on a schedule — no manual steps to forget |
| Encrypted storage | Strong encryption in transit and at rest, with immutable copies that resist tampering |
| Customized plans | Right-sized, cost-effective protection matched to your systems and recovery goals |
| Real-time sync | Immediate backup of new and changed files, so the recovery point is minutes old, not days |
| Easy recovery | Rapid restoration with minimal downtime — individual files or whole systems |
| Comprehensive retention | Short- to long-term retention that meets compliance and insurer requirements |
| Monitoring & notifications | Continuous monitoring with alerts on backup status and any failure, caught before you need it |
We protect PCs, Macs, Linux, virtual machines, and legacy systems under one plan.
Disaster recovery, not just backup
A backup answers "do we still have the data?" Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) answers the harder question: "how fast can we operate again?" By replicating servers to a geo-separate site and rehearsing the restore in advance, we shrink downtime from days to minutes or hours — the difference between a hiccup and a headline.
Our infrastructure runs in a Southern California facility engineered to a concurrently maintainable, Tier III-standard design, whose operator holds SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II attestations, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certifications and NIST 800-53 (PE) High alignment, with N+1 redundant power and cooling and a 99.9% uptime service level.
A published add-on on either plan
Cloud backup is a published add-on on either the Core IT or Secure IT plan — Secure IT includes Microsoft 365 backup at one-year immutable retention, and server and endpoint backup carry their own published rates. Cloud Complete adds nightly geo-separate replication — a second copy of your environment in the other facility — on infrastructure we own (live, continuously synchronized twins are the Multi-Cloud option at +15% on hosted lines). Replication is not backup, and backup stays billed at the published per-server rates either way. Not sure which fits? See every published rate →

Cloud backup, asked and answered
What does CRC Cloud's cloud backup include?
Four layers: server backup for physical, virtual, and legacy systems; continuous PC backup for laptops and remote workers; server replication for fast failover; and email and collaboration backup for mailboxes, attachments, calendars, and contacts. Everything is encrypted and stored in our Southern California datacenter held to published standards.
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery (DRaaS)?
Backup makes protected copies of your data. Disaster recovery brings your whole environment back online quickly after an outage, hardware failure, or ransomware event. Our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) pairs replication with tested recovery so you resume operations in minutes to hours, not days.
Are backups encrypted and protected against ransomware?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we keep immutable copies that ransomware cannot alter or delete. PC backup runs near-continuously, so a compromised device can be rolled back to a clean point rather than lost.
Do you back up cloud email and collaboration files?
Yes. Cloud email and collaboration platforms are not fully backed up by the provider by default, so we add automated backup of email, attachments, calendars, contacts, and shared files. If an account is deleted or a mailbox is compromised, the data is still recoverable.
How long do you keep our backups?
Retention is customizable, from short-term operational recovery to long-term archival that satisfies compliance and insurer requirements. We build the schedule around your industry's rules and your recovery goals.
How do you know a backup will actually restore?
Because we test it. Backups are monitored, with alerts on status and failures, and recovery is verified on a schedule instead of assumed. A backup you have never restored is a guess, not a plan.
