If Your Backups Haven't Been Tested, You Don't Have Backups.
Automated, immutable backups and tested recovery plans — engineered so that when disaster strikes, recovery is fast, complete, and already rehearsed.
Sound Familiar?
Every business says they have backups. Very few have actually tested them. And when disaster strikes — ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion, flood, fire — that's the worst possible time to discover your backup job has been silently failing for three months.
Data loss isn't just an inconvenience. For most businesses, it's an existential event. Customer records, financial data, project files, contracts, email history — gone. And even when the data comes back, the recovery time alone can cost you clients, contracts, and credibility you spent years building.
The average ransomware recovery — when businesses have to negotiate and pay — costs over $1.4 million in total when you account for downtime, recovery costs, and reputational damage. The average ransom payment alone now exceeds $500,000 for SMBs. And paying doesn't guarantee you get your data back.
Facet MSP builds backup and disaster recovery solutions that actually work — with immutable storage that survives ransomware, regular restore testing that verifies recoverability, and runbooks that make recovery predictable instead of chaotic.
What's Included
Recovery you can count on before you need it
Automated Backup Scheduling
We design a backup schedule based on your Recovery Point Objective — how much data your business can afford to lose — and automate it completely. No manual jobs, no forgotten runs, no one-person-knows-how-it-works. Your data is protected on a defined schedule, every single day.
3-2-1 Backup Architecture
Three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one off-site. We implement this industry-standard framework — local backup for fast recovery, off-site backup for disaster scenarios, and cloud backup for geographic redundancy. No single point of failure in your data protection.
Immutable Backups
Ransomware can encrypt your files and your network shares. It cannot touch an immutable backup. We configure backup storage with write-once protection — data that cannot be altered, deleted, or encrypted even by an attacker with administrator credentials. This is the difference between paying a ransom and restoring from backup.
Regular Restore Testing
A backup that's never been tested is a theory, not a guarantee. We test your backups on a quarterly schedule at minimum — performing actual restores and verifying data integrity. You receive a written test report every time. When disaster strikes, you'll already know the recovery works.
Recovery Time Objective Planning
How fast can you be back up? The answer depends on deliberate design, not heroics on the day of the incident. We define your RTO — the maximum acceptable downtime — and engineer your recovery process to meet it. When something goes wrong, nobody is guessing, nobody is improvising.
Microsoft 365 Data Backup
Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data all require dedicated backup coverage. Microsoft's native retention policies are not a substitute — once the recycle bin window closes, data deleted by accident or ransomware is gone. We cover your entire M365 environment with point-in-time restores.
Endpoint Backup
Laptops and desktops hold critical data that often never makes it to a file server or cloud storage. We back up endpoints automatically and continuously — so when an employee's machine fails, is stolen, or is encrypted by ransomware, their data comes back in hours, not days, and not never.
Disaster Recovery Runbooks
Written, tested documentation for how to recover from specific disaster scenarios — ransomware, hardware failure, data center loss, natural disaster. When something goes wrong at 2am, the on-call technician has a step-by-step guide. No improvisation, no escalation delay, no missed steps in a high-stress moment.
What You'll Notice
Sleep better. Recover faster.
- Confidence that you can recover from ransomware without paying
- A defined, tested RTO — not a guess
- Compliance with data protection requirements your auditors care about
- No more 'I think we have backups' — you'll know, and you'll have proof
- Employee data recovered in hours, not days, when hardware fails

Why Facet MSP
We've been in the room when recovery mattered
We've recovered from ransomware.
We've helped businesses survive ransomware attacks using clean backups. We know what works and what doesn't — from experience, not theory.
We test, not just monitor.
Monthly backup success reports tell you jobs completed. Quarterly restore tests tell you recovery actually works. We do both.
Immutable first.
Every backup architecture we design includes immutable storage. It's not optional — it's the minimum standard for ransomware resilience.
