BCDR stands for business continuity and disaster recovery. Business continuity is keeping your business operating through a disruption; disaster recovery is restoring your systems and data after one. Together they make sure an outage, failure, or attack becomes a planned recovery rather than a crisis.

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the full plan and capability to get your business running again, including failover systems, recovery targets, and tested procedures. Backup is one ingredient; BCDR is the whole recipe for staying in business after a disaster.

What is disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)?

DRaaS is disaster recovery delivered as a managed, cloud-based service. Instead of buying and maintaining a second data center, your systems are replicated to a ready environment that bdManagedIT manages and tests, so you can fail over and recover quickly without the capital cost.

What RTO and RPO should our business set?

It depends on each system. A critical app might need an RTO of a few hours and an RPO under an hour, while less essential systems can tolerate more. We set targets per system based on business impact, then build recovery to meet them.

Does BCDR protect against ransomware?

Yes. We keep immutable, isolated recovery points that ransomware cannot reach or encrypt, so even if attackers hit production, you have a clean copy to restore from and can keep operating instead of paying a ransom.

How much does BCDR or DRaaS cost?

It is a flat monthly fee that scales with the systems in scope and how aggressive your recovery targets are. Tighter targets cost more because they need more standby capacity. We size it after reviewing your environment. Book a call for a firm quote.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) keeps your business running when something goes wrong and gets it back fast when it does. bdManagedIT delivers disaster recovery as a service: replicated systems, tested failover, and recovery targets (RTO and RPO) agreed up front, so an outage becomes a quick, planned recovery instead of a crisis.

A backup is only half the answer. The real question is how fast you can be running again after ransomware, a failed server, or a fire, and how much work you would lose. BCDR answers both. We replicate your critical systems, set clear recovery targets, and test the failover so that when disaster strikes, recovery is a routine we have already rehearsed, not a guess.

What's included

Replication and failover

We keep continuously updated copies of your critical systems ready to take over, so a failure becomes a switch-over instead of a rebuild from scratch.

Defined RTO and RPO

We agree how fast each system must come back (recovery time) and how much data you can afford to lose (recovery point), then build to hit those targets.

Tested disaster recovery

We test the recovery on a schedule, not just assume it works. A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a plan.

Ransomware and cyber recovery

Immutable, isolated copies mean that even if ransomware hits production, you have a clean recovery point attackers cannot reach or encrypt.

What you get

Minutes of downtime, not days

Pre-staged failover and clear recovery targets get you operating again fast, protecting revenue and your reputation when it matters most.

Survive ransomware

Clean, immutable recovery points let you restore and keep running instead of paying a ransom or losing the business.

Meet continuity requirements

Insurers and frameworks increasingly require a tested continuity and recovery plan. We deliver it and document the evidence.

Recovery you have actually tested

Because we rehearse the failover, you know your plan works before you need it, not during the worst day of the year.
