Business Continuity & Backup That Helps You Bounce Back Fast

A hardware failure, cyber incident, or simple mistake can take critical systems offline in seconds. What matters is how quickly you can get back up and running. NTS designs and manages Business Continuity and Backup solutions for organizations across South Georgia, North Florida, and the Southeast, so you have a clear path to recovery when something goes wrong.

Downtime costs more than just lost hours.

When systems are down, staff can’t work, residents and customers can’t be served, and leadership is left making decisions without good information.

  • Local servers and applications still power key parts of your operation.
  • Microsoft 365 and other cloud services are not the same as a true backup.
  • Ransomware and accidental deletions can impact shared files and critical data.
  • Many organizations don’t learn their backup plan is incomplete until after an outage.

You Should Know Exactly How You’ll Recover

You shouldn’t have to cross your fingers and hope backups are working. You should know which systems are protected, how long recovery will take, and who is responsible for each step.

Our role is to help you design, implement, and test a Business Continuity and Backup approach that fits your environment and your tolerance for downtime.

A Simple Path to Better Continuity

Building a Business Continuity and Backup plan doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We use a straightforward process to get you from “we hope it’s fine” to “we know what will happen.”

1.
Identify What You Need to Protect

We work with your team to map out critical systems, data, and locations, and to understand how long each can realistically be down.

2.
Design a Backup & Recovery Strategy

We define backup methods, frequency, retention, and offsite options, along with recovery objectives that match your risk tolerance and budget.

3.
Implement, Monitor, and Test

We deploy and monitor backups, perform test restores, and document step-by-step procedures so you are not starting from scratch in an actual incident.

A Partner Focused on Real-World Recoveries

NTS has worked through real outages, hardware failures, and ransomware events with clients across the Southeast. We know what matters when the pressure is on.

  • Experience with multi-site organizations and distributed staff.
  • Solutions that cover servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365.
  • Guidance on RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective).
  • Plain-language documentation so leadership understands the plan.

Balancing Cost, Risk, and Practicality

Not every system needs the same level of protection, but most cannot be down for long.

We help you prioritize where to invest in faster recovery and where a slower, more cost-effective option is acceptable.

What Life Looks Like When You Have a Real Recovery Plan

Outages and incidents are stressful. A tested plan doesn’t remove all risk, but it dramatically changes how your organization experiences those moments.

With NTS as your guide

  • You know which systems are protected and how they will be restored.
  • Leadership has realistic expectations for downtime and recovery.
  • Backups are monitored and validated, not just assumed.
  • Staff know who to call and what steps to follow when something breaks.
  • Cyber incidents and hardware failures become manageable events, not existential crises.

If nothing changes

  • Outages lead to confusion, finger-pointing, and guesswork.
  • Backups may exist, but no one is sure if they are recent or complete.
  • Recoveries take longer and cost more than they should.
  • Regulators, auditors, and insurers see gaps in your resiliency story.
  • Leadership is left hoping “we never have to find out” if the plan works.
