Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Services
When critical systems fail, work stops: revenue, employee access, and customer confidence all take the hit. Univision Computers has supported businesses since 1989 and delivers managed business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) services that protect critical data, keep essential operations running, and restore systems after ransomware, hardware failure, power outages, accidental deletion, human error, natural disasters, and cloud outages.
What Is BCDR (Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery)?
BCDR combines two disciplines into one recovery strategy:
- Business continuity keeps essential business functions running during a disruption: who works where, which systems come first, and how customers and staff are kept informed.
- Disaster recovery restores IT systems, applications, and data after an incident, in a defined order and within defined time targets.
Backup alone is not BCDR. A backup is a copy of data. BCDR is the documented, tested plan for using that data to get the business operating again. A complete BCDR strategy includes onsite, offsite, and immutable backups, recovery time and recovery point objectives, recovery runbooks, continuity procedures, backup monitoring, and regular testing.
BCDR is part of the Univision Computers Data Backup & Recovery practice.
Why Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Matter
Technology disruptions can affect organizations of any size. Ransomware, equipment failure, data corruption, accidental deletion, and service outages can prevent employees from working and interrupt access to critical business information.
A professionally managed BCDR strategy can help your organization:
- Reduce downtime during disruptive events
- Restore critical systems and business data
- Improve resilience against ransomware
- Recover from accidental deletion, corruption, and hardware failure
- Support compliance and audit-readiness requirements
- Protect customer confidence and organizational reputation
- Maintain essential operations while recovery is underway
- Plan recovery costs through managed service options
BCDR is not simply about storing backups. It is about having a documented and tested way to continue operating and recover when normal systems are unavailable.

Backup Strategy & Architecture
A backup strategy should reflect the systems an organization actually relies on.
Univision Computers designs backup environments around each organization’s infrastructure, applications, recovery priorities, and retention requirements. Solutions include:
- Server and workstation backups
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backups
- Application and business-data backups
- Onsite and offsite backup replication
- Cloud, hybrid, and on-premises backup architectures
- Backup retention planning
- Encryption and backup access controls
The goal is a backup architecture built around defined recovery requirements, not disconnected backup jobs with no recovery plan.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Different systems require different recovery priorities.
Univision Computers defines recovery objectives based on business impact:
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO): how quickly a system needs to be restored
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO): how much data loss the organization can tolerate
Recovery objectives are set for systems such as email, file storage, ERP platforms, servers, and line-of-business applications.
Univision Computers then maps those priorities to a practical disaster recovery plan, so the internal team knows which systems are restored first and how recovery proceeds.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Ransomware targets backup environments as well as production systems. A resilient backup strategy needs protections that keep attackers and compromised accounts from altering recovery data.
BCDR protections include:
- Immutable or tamper-resistant backup options
- Multi-factor authentication for backup management
- Least-privilege access policies
- Segmentation between production and backup environments
- Security-focused backup configuration
- Monitoring and alerting for suspicious activity
These safeguards keep recovery data available and intact when primary systems have been compromised. Backup resilience works alongside incident response and ransomware readiness, which covers containment and response once an attack is detected.
Rapid Restore & Bare-Metal Recovery
A successful backup is only useful if the data and systems it protects can be restored when needed.
Univision Computers recovery capabilities include:
- Full system-image recovery
- File-level restoration
- Bare-metal recovery to replacement hardware
- Virtual machine backup and recovery, including running critical servers as virtual machines while primary hardware is repaired
- Application and server restoration
- Documented recovery procedures
- Step-by-step recovery runbooks
Critical services are restored in a controlled sequence based on the priorities set in the disaster recovery plan.
Business Continuity Planning
Business continuity extends beyond restoring servers.
Univision Computers helps organizations define how essential operations continue while technology systems are degraded, unavailable, or being recovered.
Continuity planning addresses:
- Priority systems and minimum viable operations
- Remote and work-from-anywhere readiness
- Internal and external communication procedures
- Vendor and service-provider dependencies
- Contingency planning
- Responsibilities during disruptive events
- Documented procedures for internal teams
The objective is a clear framework for keeping essential operations running during an incident, so critical decisions are not made for the first time in an emergency.
Backup Monitoring, Reporting & Ongoing Management
Backup monitoring and alerting is the part of BCDR that confirms every backup job finishes, flags failures the same day, and keeps recovery points current. Backup systems, infrastructure, applications, and business priorities all change over time.
Managed BCDR from Univision Computers includes:
- Automated backup verification
- Backup failure alerts
- Backup-job monitoring
- Troubleshooting and remediation
- Reporting on backup health and storage utilization
- Review of recovery objectives as business requirements change
- Ongoing review of backup and recovery configurations
- Scheduled restore tests and disaster recovery testing
Continuous monitoring catches backup problems before an organization needs those backups during an actual recovery.

Why Choose Univision Computers for BCDR?
Business-First Recovery Planning
Recovery plans are built around the systems and services the organization depends on most, not a generic backup template.
Focus on Recovery, Not Just Backup
Success is measured by whether critical systems and data actually restore when needed, not by backup jobs reporting complete.
Security-Minded Backup Design
Immutability, access controls, and segmentation are built into the backup architecture from the start.
Documentation and Testing
Recovery runbooks define what happens and in what order, and scheduled testing proves the plan works before a real incident.
Scalable BCDR Solutions
Services scale from business backup to full disaster recovery and continuity planning as the organization grows.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery FAQs
How often should backups run?
It depends on your data change rate and RPO. Many businesses benefit from daily backups plus more frequent snapshots for critical systems.
Do we need offsite or cloud backups?
In most cases, yes. Offsite copies protect you from onsite disasters and ransomware that spreads across local networks.
Can you help us recover from ransomware?
Yes—BCDR is a key part of ransomware recovery. The goal is to restore clean data and systems quickly with minimal disruption.
Is BCDR only for companies with servers?
No. Many businesses also need BCDR for cloud data (like Microsoft 365), endpoints, and shared files.
