Hybrid Backup That Keeps Your Business Running
Univision Computers provides Hybrid Backup as part of our Data Backup & Recovery services—combining fast local backups with secure offsite/cloud protection. You get quick restores for everyday incidents and resilient disaster recovery for worst-case scenarios.
What is hybrid backups?
Hybrid backup is a data protection strategy that stores your data in two locations to balance speed and resilience: a local backup on an on-site appliance, NAS, or backup server for rapid recovery of files, folders, or entire systems, and an offsite or cloud backup to protect against major threats such as fire, theft, flood, ransomware, and site-wide outages. By combining fast local restores with a geographically separate copy for disaster recovery, this layered approach reduces downtime and strengthens overall business continuity.
What We Actually Back Up
We tailor this to your business, but here’s what most clients protect:
- File servers and shared drives
- Computers and laptops
- Email and Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace
- Virtual machines if you run them
- Specific apps and databases your business depends on
Quick Note About Microsoft 365
A lot of people assume Microsoft backs up their email, OneDrive, and SharePoint. They don’t—not the way you think. We can add protection for that stuff too if you want it.
Why Businesses Love This Setup
You Get Your Files
Back Quickly
Deleted an important folder? Server acting weird? With local backup, we can usually restore things before lunch. No waiting around for massive cloud downloads.
You're Protected From the
Big Scary Stuff
Office burns down? Tornado? Ransomware encrypts everything including your backups? Your offsite cloud copy is safe and ready to go. You can rebuild.
Smart hybrid setups keep some backup copies “air-gapped” or locked down so attackers can’t encrypt them. It’s like having a vault they can’t reach.
It Doesn't Break the Bank
You’re not paying to store everything in the cloud forever. Frequently-used data lives locally; long-term and disaster recovery lives offsite. Smart and cost-effective.
Sleep Better at Night
Honestly, that’s the real benefit. Knowing your business can survive a disaster is priceless.

Hybrid Backup FAQs
How much does this cost?
Depends on how much data you have and how often you want backups. Most clients pay less than they think—and way less than recovering from a disaster would cost.
Can you back up our stuff in the cloud already?
Yep. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, other SaaS apps—we can layer protection on top of those.
What if we lose internet
Your local backup still works. You can restore locally even if the internet’s down.
Do we have to do anything?
Nope. We handle everything. You’ll get reports, and we’ll reach out if we need anything.
