Backup and Recovery Services
Backup and recovery services for servers, hosting platforms and business infrastructure, including backup setup, restore testing and disaster recovery planning.
Backups You Can Actually Restore
A backup that was never restored is only an assumption. HireSysAdmin provides hands-on backup and recovery services — from initial setup and scheduling through regular restore testing and disaster recovery planning. We work with Linux servers, hosting platforms, databases, and business infrastructure to make sure your data is protected and your recovery process actually works.
Backup Setup and Configuration
- Full server and incremental backup scheduling
- File-level and directory-level backup configuration
- Database backups — MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MSSQL (dump-based and binary)
- Hosting account backups — cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, custom stacks
- Offsite backup planning and remote destination setup
- Retention policy configuration — daily, weekly, monthly rotation
- Backup encryption for sensitive environments
- Backup job monitoring and alerting integration
- VMware and Proxmox VM-level snapshot and backup scheduling
- NetApp snapshot policies and SnapMirror coordination
Restore and Verification
- Scheduled restore testing to confirm backup integrity
- Full server restore from backup after incident or failure
- Selective file and database recovery
- Recovery after failed updates, broken configurations, or accidental deletions
- Restore to alternate server for verification or staging
- Documentation of restore procedures for your team
Disaster Recovery Basics
- Recovery point and recovery time assessment
- Offsite and geographic redundancy planning
- Priority list of services and data for recovery sequencing
- Runbook creation for common failure scenarios
- Post-incident review and backup gap analysis
Common Situations
- No backup exists and one needs to be set up from scratch
- Backups are running but have never been tested
- A restore is needed after a failed update, hack, or data loss
- Backup jobs are failing silently with no alerting
- Retention is too short or storage is running out
- Migration to a new backup solution or offsite destination
- Emergency recovery from a failing or compromised server
How We Work
We start by reviewing your current backup state — what exists, what is missing, and what has never been tested. From there, we scope the work: setup, fix, restore, or full DR planning. Every backup engagement includes at least one verified restore. For ongoing assurance, our monitoring service includes backup status checks.
Get Started
Whether you need a backup system built from scratch, a restore performed now, or verification that your existing backups are recoverable, contact us with the details. We will scope the work and provide pricing before anything begins.
