Backup and disaster recovery that gets you back in business.
It’s not the backup that saves you. It’s being able to actually recover, fast, when everything’s on the line.
Acom protects your data with backups that are tested, secured, and ready, plus a recovery plan that gets your systems running again in hours, not days, after a failure, a disaster, or an attack.
Technicians have always been great. I’ve been a customer for about 12 years, and their customer service is some of the best I’ve dealt with, in any industry.

Why businesses choose Acom
Last night's backup succeeded. The accounting database won't open from it.
A backup only proves data left the building. A file copied while it was open still reports success, so you find out the morning you need it, with customers waiting.

Your recovery, start to finish
The same three steps Acom runs on every system we protect, written for what actually happens on a backup and recovery project.
We map your systems and your tolerance for downtime.
What has to come back first, what can wait, and how long the business can actually run without each piece.
We deploy it, then prove it with a real restore.
Backup designed around those recovery targets, then tested by actually recovering, with the timings written down.
We watch the jobs and re-test on a schedule.
Ongoing monitoring of jobs and storage, plus periodic restore tests so the number you were given stays true.
What complete protection looks like
Real continuity is more than a backup running somewhere — it’s the right copies, in the right places, ready to restore. Here’s how the pieces fit together.
Automated Backups
Scheduled, hands-off backups of your servers, files, and systems, so protection never depends on someone remembering.
Offsite & Cloud Copies
Copies kept securely offsite and in the cloud, so a fire, flood, or theft on-site can’t take your data with it.
Ransomware-Resilient
Protected, unchangeable backup copies that attackers can’t encrypt or delete — so you can recover instead of pay.
Recovery Testing
We regularly test restores, because a backup you’ve never recovered from is a guess — not a safety net.
Rapid Recovery
When something fails, we restore systems fast — sometimes running them temporarily for you — to limit the downtime that costs you.
Continuity Planning
A documented plan that defines what gets restored first and how fast — so a crisis follows a playbook, not panic.

How we make recovery a sure thing
Anyone can run a backup; the hard part is being certain you can recover from it under pressure. Acom builds recovery around two questions every business should be able to answer: how much data can we afford to lose, and how fast do we need to be back? Here is what the engagement looks like from first assessment to ongoing protection.
Recovery assessment
We inventory your critical systems and data and review whatever backup you have today — including whether it would actually restore.
Set recovery goals
We define, with you, how much data loss and downtime each system can tolerate — the targets that drive the whole plan.
Design the backup strategy
We build the right mix of on-site, offsite, and cloud copies — with ransomware-resilient versions — to meet those goals.
Deploy & automate
We put it in place and automate it, so backups run reliably without depending on anyone remembering to start them.
Test the restore
We regularly perform real restores to prove the backups work and that we can hit your recovery targets when it counts.
Respond & recover
When disaster strikes, we execute the plan — restoring systems fast and keeping you informed until you’re fully back.
From a single critical server to a multi-site operation with cloud and on-prem systems, Acom scales the same recovery discipline to fit the size and risk profile of your business.
Questions business owners ask us
Having a backup and being able to recover are two different things. Many backups are incomplete, out of date, or fail when it’s time to restore. We make sure yours are complete, secure, and actually tested — so recovery is a certainty, not a hope.
A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and capability to get your whole operation running again — fast — after a failure or disaster. You need both: the copy, and a tested way to bring everything back.
That depends on the recovery targets we set together — and that’s the point. We design the plan around how much downtime each system can tolerate, then build and test it to hit that goal, often restoring critical systems in hours.
It’s your strongest safety net. We keep protected, unchangeable backup copies that ransomware can’t encrypt or delete — so if you’re ever hit, you can restore clean data and recover instead of being forced to consider paying.
We use a mix that fits your needs — typically a local copy for fast restores plus secure offsite and cloud copies so a fire, flood, or theft on-site can’t take everything. The right balance is part of what we design with you.
We test them. Regularly performing real restores is the only way to be sure a backup will hold up under pressure — and it’s the step most businesses skip until the day it fails them. We don’t skip it.
It can, and it often should. Cloud providers keep their service running, but recovering your data after an accidental deletion or account compromise is your responsibility. We can back up your cloud data so it’s recoverable too.
