A server room floods. A fire breaks out. Or maybe a rogue Windows update knocks your system offline. These aren’t hypotheticals – they’re the kind of business disruptions we’ve seen right here in Austin, TX.
Most CEOs like to believe their company could bounce back from a disaster. But the hard truth is this:
That’s not just an IT problem. That’s a business-ending event.
At CTTS, we help companies across Central Texas prepare for the unexpected so they’re not caught off guard. Because when disaster strikes, the question isn’t if your data is safe – it’s how fast can you get back to work?
The Hidden Dangers Facing Your Business
You don’t need a hurricane or ransomware attack to face downtime. Sometimes all it takes is:
-
A burst pipe in the server room
-
A spilled cup of coffee
-
A failed power supply
-
Or that Friday evening power surge that fries your firewall
These things happen every day – and they don’t wait for a convenient time.
The 3-Step Backup & Recovery Checklist
Here’s what smart Austin businesses do before disaster strikes:
1. Automatic Offsite Backups
Your critical data should be backed up daily to a secure cloud or offsite location – no exceptions. Local backups alone won’t cut it when the building is underwater or ablaze.
2. Routine Recovery Drills
Backups mean nothing if they don’t work when you need them. We help our clients test restorations regularly so there are no surprises during crunch time.
3. A Business Continuity Plan
We’ll design a clear, easy-to-follow plan so your team knows exactly how to keep operating if the office is inaccessible. With cloud email, VoIP phones, and secure remote access, you won’t skip a beat.

FAQ: Disaster Recovery for Austin Businesses
Q1: What’s the difference between a backup and a disaster recovery plan?
A backup stores your data – a disaster recovery plan ensures you can restore it and continue working with minimal disruption.
Q2: Can my business operate during a disaster without access to our office?
Yes, with the right continuity tools like cloud email, VPNs, and VoIP, your team can work remotely while your office is offline.
Q3: How often should we test our backups?
