In today’s digital landscape, a disaster isn’t always a fire or flood—it can be a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or even a software bug. Regardless of the cause, the result is the same: critical business operations grind to a halt. That’s why disaster recovery planning isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Raptor IT Solutions, we provide comprehensive IT services for businesses throughout Rockwall, Dallas, Collin, Kaufman, Hopkins, Hunt, Van Zandt, and Wood counties, ensuring they can recover quickly and minimize downtime.
The Risk is Real: What North Texas Businesses Face
From severe weather in East Texas to cyberattacks targeting small businesses, the threats to your data and operations are growing. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses never reopen after a disaster. Even fewer survive long-term without proper planning.
Our IT consulting team helps you assess vulnerabilities and implement a disaster recovery strategy that’s customized to your environment, budget, and compliance requirements. Read more about our services.
Key Components of an IT Disaster Recovery Plan
1. Data Backup Strategy
We provide automated, encrypted, and redundant backups stored both on-site and in secure cloud environments. Regular testing ensures reliability when it matters most.
2. Business Continuity Planning (BCP)
We map your critical systems and workflows to create a step-by-step continuity plan. This includes prioritization of assets, alternate access options, and communication protocols.
3. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) & Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
We help define your acceptable downtime (RTO) and how much data you can afford to lose (RPO). These parameters shape your solution architecture.
4. Infrastructure Redundancy & Failover
We deploy mirrored systems, virtual machine replication, and failover routing to ensure high availability even during hardware or power outages.
5. Incident Response and Security Integration
Disaster recovery should always include cybersecurity. We integrate threat detection, response automation, and containment procedures to ensure rapid recovery from cyber threats.

Q2: How often should we update our disaster recovery plan?
At least annually, or when you make significant changes to your systems, staff, or business structure.
Q3: Can disaster recovery help with ransomware?
Yes. With proper segmentation, backup hygiene, and automated rollback, you can recover without paying ransoms.
Q4: Is cloud storage enough for disaster recovery?
Not alone. It must be part of a coordinated plan that includes local backups, application continuity, and failover systems.
