Disaster Recovery Planning
What would happen if your systems went down tomorrow?
Fix IT helps small businesses prepare for the unexpected — with simple, effective disaster recovery plans.
A power cut. A failed hard drive. A ransomware attack. Even something as simple as a laptop being stolen.
It only takes one event to grind your business to a halt — unless you’ve planned ahead.
Disaster recovery planning isn’t just for big companies. It’s for any business that relies on email, files, systems or customer data to operate. And at Fix IT, we make it straightforward, affordable, and specific to how you work.
What is disaster recovery planning?
Disaster recovery (DR) is about putting systems in place that help your business recover quickly after something goes wrong — whether that’s hardware failure, accidental deletion, cyber attack, or a physical disaster.
It’s not just backup. A good DR plan answers questions like:
How fast can you get systems back online?
Who’s responsible for what?
What do staff do while systems are down?
Where is your data stored — and how do you access it in an emergency?
We help you create a clear plan that covers the tech, the data, and the people — so you’re never left guessing.
What’s included?
Our disaster recovery planning service typically covers:
Risk assessment – identify the threats most likely to impact your business
Backup review and configuration – cloud and local backup options to suit your needs
Recovery objectives – how fast (RTO) and how much (RPO) you need to recover
Step-by-step recovery process – simple instructions your team can follow
Testing and verification – we simulate a failure and make sure the plan works
Optional: Disaster recovery tools – cloud image backup, failover internet, off-site device recovery
We focus on practical, cost-effective solutions — not enterprise overkill.
Who is it for?
Disaster recovery planning is essential for:
Businesses that store customer data or rely on cloud apps
Teams working remotely who need access at all times
SMEs that want to stay compliant, secure and prepared
Anyone who’s experienced downtime before — and doesn’t want to repeat it
Whether you’re a two-person business or a growing office, we’ll build a plan that matches your size and risk level.

How is disaster recovery different from backup?
Backup is about saving your data. Disaster recovery is about how quickly you can access and use that data to get back up and running.
