Automatic copies of servers, NAS, PCs, email and websites, with the 3-2-1 rule and an off-site copy in an EU data centre. Plus scheduled restore tests, because a backup is only worth something if it restores.
AT A GLANCE
UreTech designs and manages company backups: office servers and NAS, PCs, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, websites and online shops, cloud servers. We apply the 3-2-1 rule, keep an off-site copy in an EU data centre and test restores to a schedule.
You receive a written disaster recovery plan: what gets restored, in what order, in what estimated time and who does what. It starts with a free check-up.
3-2-1
Everything that would stop the company if it disappeared.
Shared files, business software databases, virtual machines.
Working folders of people who keep files on their own PC.
Email, OneDrive, SharePoint, Drive: Microsoft and Google keep the services running, but recovering data you deleted has time limits.
WordPress and WooCommerce files and databases, with more frequent copies in sales periods.
VPS and data centre servers, with copies in a different place from the main server.
Consistent database backups, taken before every upgrade.
RESTORE
A backup that has never been restored is not a guarantee. So, on an agreed schedule (usually every three months), we restore part of the data to a separate environment, check that it is intact and measure how long it took.
The outcome goes into a report: date, what we restored, time taken, problems found. It is also the document to show a customer or auditor who asks how you protect your data.
RPO AND RTO
Before choosing tools we agree two numbers with you:
We do not promise times we have not measured: the estimates in the plan come from restore tests on your own systems.
RANSOMWARE
Ransomware encrypts everything it finds on the network, including the NAS and attached drives. If your only backup is there, it is lost along with the original. That is why we plan a disconnected or immutable copy for a set period, with credentials separate from the office ones.
If you have just been hit, contact us immediately: before paying or reinstalling, it is worth finding out what can be recovered. For prevention, read our golden rules of cybersecurity for SMEs.
NAS OR CLOUD
| Office NAS only | NAS + EU cloud copy | |
|---|---|---|
| Restoring one file | Fast | Fast (from the NAS) |
| NAS failure | Data at risk | Recovered from the cloud |
| Fire, theft, flood | Data lost | Recovered from the cloud |
| Ransomware | NAS often encrypted too | Separate protected copy |
The NAS remains useful as a first, fast-to-restore copy. On its own, though, it does not meet the 3-2-1 rule. The off-site copy goes to a data centre in the European Union, named in the quote.
Four steps, then the service runs on its own and we check it.

EXAMPLES AND PRICING
An example of three-tier backups for an online shop is in the managed cloud scenario for a growing e-commerce business. Backups are also part of scheduled maintenance and of the managed VPS.
The monthly cost depends on storage used, how long we keep copies and how many systems we back up. The quote comes after the free check-up, with cloud storage separate from management. We reply to requests within one business day, Monday to Friday, 9:00-12:30 and 14:00-20:00 (Italian time).
The most frequent questions about backup and disaster recovery.
Tell us what you back up and where (USB drive, NAS, cloud). In 30 minutes we check with you whether a restore would really work.
We will email you within one working day to book the 30 minutes. If it is urgent, message us on WhatsApp.
