Data Backup & Disaster Recovery for Houston & DFW Businesses
Backups only matter if they actually restore. Braintek protects Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth businesses with documented, tested backup and disaster recovery — so when ransomware, hardware failure, or an accidental deletion hits, you recover fast instead of finding out your backup never worked.

What's Included
- Automated, monitored backups Backups run on schedule and we watch them — a failed job gets caught and fixed, not discovered in the middle of a crisis.
- On-site and cloud copies Local copies for fast restores plus off-site cloud copies, so a fire, flood, or theft can't take your only copy with it.
- Microsoft 365 backup (email, files, SharePoint) Microsoft keeps the service running, not your data — we back up Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint so a deletion stays recoverable.
- Regular recovery testing We actually restore from your backups on a schedule, so "we have backups" means "we can get your data back."
- Documented recovery plans and RTOs A written plan with defined recovery-time targets, so everyone knows what comes back, in what order, and how fast.
- Ransomware-resilient, versioned backups Immutable, versioned copies an attacker can't encrypt or delete — so ransomware means restore, not ransom.
Why Braintek
We test recovery, not just backup — so you know your data actually comes back. Most businesses don't find the gap until they need it; we find it first, and we keep an off-site, ransomware-resilient copy ready to restore so a bad day doesn't become a closed business.

Almost every business believes it has backups. Far fewer have ever watched those backups restore — and that’s exactly when the gap shows up, at the worst possible moment. Braintek closes that gap by treating backup and disaster recovery as something we test, not just something we turn on.
We keep your data in more than one place — a local copy for fast restores and an off-site cloud copy so a fire, flood, theft, or ransomware attack can’t take your only copy with it. The off-site copies are immutable and versioned, which means an attacker who encrypts your network can’t reach back and destroy your ability to recover.
Just as important, we plan for the day you need it: documented recovery procedures, defined recovery-time and recovery-point targets, and regular test restores so “we have backups” actually means “we can get your business back up.” For most clients this is part of fully managed IT, but we’re glad to provide and manage backup for teams that keep the rest of IT in-house.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn't Microsoft 365 already back up my data?
No. Microsoft is responsible for service uptime, not your data. If a user deletes an email, file, or SharePoint site and you find out 30+ days later, Microsoft will not recover it — third-party M365 backup is essential.
How fast can we recover after an incident?
It depends on the scope, but with documented recovery plans and tested backups we restore quickly — and we define your recovery targets up front so there are no surprises.
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is the copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and capability to get your whole operation running again — systems, applications, and data — after an outage. We do both, and we test them.
How often are backups taken?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. We set a frequency to match your recovery-point target — often continuous or hourly for critical systems and daily for everything else.
Are our backups safe from ransomware?
Yes — we keep immutable, versioned, off-site copies that can't be encrypted or deleted by an attacker who gets into your network, so you can roll back to a clean point instead of paying a ransom.
Is backup included in managed IT?
Documented, tested backup is part of our managed IT and cybersecurity programs. We can also provide and manage backup for businesses that keep the rest of IT in-house.
