Offsite Replication

Protect Your Business from Disaster

With today’s technology, there’s no reason to leave your company’s critical data unprotected. Whether you perform multiple backups a day, once a day, or once a week, replicating those backups to a secure offsite location gives the business owner peace of mind.

Remote replication is a well-established practice that can replace traditional backup and enhance disaster recovery planning. With offsite replication, after backups run the data is securely replicated to a remote site.

If there were to be a true disaster like fire or flood, your business is protected. You’ll also be protected against more ordinary issues like tape failure, theft, or even a disgruntled employee.

Offsite Replication is Reliable, Secure, & Cost-Effective

Many small businesses copy important files onto removable hard drives and store them in another location. With this, the risk is great.

If the storage device fails, or tapes get lost, damaged, or stolen, the data is gone. A removable disk can be stolen from the vehicle in which it is being transported.

With Offsite Replication, storing your data and files on servers located off-site can be automated, so you can rest assured that your company data is backed up, and always up-to-date.

Vintage IT Services leverages VEEAM for our Offsite Replication. We have the capability to scope out and build an entire disaster recovery solution for you or simply serve as an offsite repository should you already have VEEAM in place.

With Vintage Offsite Replication your data is captured and encrypted by VEEAM and then transferred to our Tier IV data center at Data Foundry in Austin, Texas.

By default, we hold onto this data for a 45 day period but this can be adjusted to whatever length of retention is necessary.

In the case that multiple backup repositories are necessary, we can also send your encrypted data to our Tier IV data center in Chicago for an extra layer of protection and/or to meet any compliance that is in place.

FAQ's

If your primary office in Austin, TX faces a fire or flood, your local servers could be permanently destroyed. Offsite replication ensures that a live, encrypted copy of your data is stored in a separate, secure data center. This is a critical part of modern data backup and recovery strategies, providing a safety net that local backups cannot offer. By duplicating your entire server environment, we ensure that your business remains resilient against physical threats. This professional oversight allows you to recover your vital information quickly, ensuring that a localized emergency does not result in the permanent loss of your company’s proprietary assets.

Digital threats move quickly, and a single breach can jeopardize your entire database if you do not have a secondary environment ready. We integrate cybersecurity threat detection into our replication process to monitor for signs of corruption or unauthorized changes during data transfer. If your main server is hit by a cyberattack, we can failover to your offsite replica, which has been kept in a secure, isolated state. This prevents the attack from crippling your operations and allows your team to continue working. We provide the constant vigilance required to shield your digital infrastructure from the sophisticated tactics used by modern cybercriminals.

Physical office access is not always guaranteed, especially during regional emergencies or power outages. Our replication service utilizes cloud based disaster recovery to allow your staff to access their files and applications from any location with an internet connection. This mobility ensures that your business stays productive even when the physical office is closed. We manage the secure connections between your remote team and our data centers, ensuring that data privacy is maintained at all times. This “anywhere-access” capability transforms your IT from a local dependency into a flexible, cloud-enabled asset that supports a modern and distributed professional workforce.

While the data itself is stored in the cloud, having a partner who understands the local infrastructure in Austin, TX is a major advantage. We provide the IT managed services Austin businesses depend on by offering local accountability and expert support. If you experience a major failure, you can speak directly with our Austin-based engineers who are already familiar with your network setup and business needs. We don’t use faceless call centers; we provide a personalized relationship that ensures your data is handled with the highest level of care. Having a local partner means your technology is managed by people who care about your success.

We provide specialized managed IT support for healthcare that focuses on keeping your patient records encrypted and redundantly stored according to federal guidelines. Our replication process creates the audit trails and security logs necessary to prove that your data is being managed safely and according to the law. This professional oversight reduces your liability and protects your firm from the heavy fines associated with data negligence. We handle the technical complexities of compliance so you can focus on your clients.

Ransomware is designed to lock your files, but a clean offsite replica allows you to bypass the attacker entirely. We offer specialized ransomware protection services that include frequent “point-in-time” snapshots of your data. If your main system is infected, we simply roll back to a clean version of your replica from before the attack occurred. This ensures that you can restore your files without ever paying a ransom or suffering from permanent data loss. Our multi-layered defense strategy provides the ultimate protection against digital extortion, allowing your business to remain operational and secure even when targeted by sophisticated malware or hackers.

Sending your data offsite requires the highest level of security during both the transfer and the storage phases. We implement advanced data encryption services to ensure that your information is unreadable to anyone without authorized access. Your data is stored in Tier IV data centers that feature military-grade physical security, including biometric access controls and 24/7 surveillance. We manage the encryption keys and monitor for any unauthorized access attempts around the clock. This rigorous security protocol ensures that your company’s intellectual property is safer in our secure offsite facilities than it would be on a standard server in your own office closet.
