Backup and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Solution Providers in Sydney
Backup and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) protects your business's physical and virtual server infrastructure - not just individual files, but your entire operating environment - so a hardware failure, ransomware attack, or site-wide disaster doesn't mean days of downtime. Code Hyper One designs and manages BCDR solutions built around your business's actual recovery time requirements, using fast VM-based recovery to get you back online quickly.
What Makes This Different From "Just Backup"?
Backup and file recovery answer the question "can I get my data back?" Disaster recovery answers a harder question: "how fast can my entire business be operational again?" That distinction comes down to two concepts every BCDR plan should be built around:
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO) - how long your business can tolerate being down before the disruption becomes seriously damaging. A retail business processing orders every minute has a very different RTO to a business that could survive a day offline.
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO) - how much data your business can afford to lose, measured in time. An RPO of one hour means backups run frequently enough that, worst case, you'd only lose an hour's worth of work.
We build your BCDR plan around your actual RTO and RPO requirements, not a generic one-size-fits-all backup schedule - a business that needs to be back online in minutes needs a fundamentally different setup to one that can tolerate a few hours.
What Our BCDR Service Includes
Continuous and Automated Backups
Your on-prem servers are backed up automatically and continuously, so your data stays current without manual intervention or the risk of outdated backups sitting untested until disaster strikes.
Rapid Recovery with Virtual Machines (VM)
In the event of a hardware crash or ransomware attack, we use VM-based recovery to bring your server back online in a fraction of the time traditional recovery methods take - restoring entire systems, not just individual files.
Local and Cloud-Based Backup Options
We offer local, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid backup deployment, giving your business the flexibility to match your BCDR setup to your specific risk profile, budget, and RTO/RPO requirements.
Ransomware Detection and Protection
Continuous monitoring detects potential ransomware threats before they compromise your data, and in the event of an attack, we recover from your latest clean backup, preventing significant data loss and downtime.
Comprehensive Disaster Recovery Planning
Beyond backup itself, we help you build and document a disaster recovery plan tailored to your specific risks, with regular testing so you know it will actually work when needed - not just an assumption sitting untested for years.
Is This the Right Service, or Do You Need SaaS/M365 Backup Instead?
BCDR is specifically about your on-premise and physical/virtual server infrastructure - the hardware and systems running your business day to day. If what you actually need is protection for cloud application data instead, these are more likely the right fit:
- Microsoft 365 backup - for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data specifically
- SaaS cloud backup - for a broader mix of cloud platforms including Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Dropbox alongside Microsoft 365
Many Sydney businesses need both - BCDR for their physical infrastructure and SaaS backup for their cloud applications - and we can scope a combined plan that covers your whole environment rather than leaving a gap between the two.
Our BCDR Planning Process
- 1
Risk and requirements assessment - understanding your infrastructure, critical systems, and what downtime would actually cost your business
- 2
RTO/RPO definition - establishing exactly how fast you need to recover and how much data loss is genuinely tolerable
- 3
Solution design - choosing the right mix of local, private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid backup to meet those requirements
- 4
Implementation - deploying continuous backup and VM-based recovery capability across your infrastructure
- 5
Testing and validation - regularly testing failover and recovery, because an untested disaster recovery plan is really just an assumption
- 6
Ongoing monitoring - continuous oversight through our managed IT services, so your BCDR setup stays reliable as your infrastructure changes
BCDR Works Best Alongside
- Microsoft Defender and EDR - preventing and detecting threats before they reach the point of needing a full disaster recovery
- SOC/MDR monitoring - 24/7 threat monitoring that reduces how often your BCDR plan actually needs to be activated
- Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing - identifying the weaknesses that most commonly lead to the ransomware incidents BCDR protects against
- Cloud migration - for businesses considering whether some on-premise infrastructure should move to the cloud entirely, changing what your BCDR plan actually needs to cover

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup protects your data - the ability to restore a file or dataset. Disaster recovery protects your ability to keep operating - restoring entire systems and infrastructure so your business can function again, measured against defined recovery time and recovery point objectives.
What are RTO and RPO?
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is how long your business can tolerate being down before the disruption becomes seriously damaging. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is how much data loss, measured in time, your business can genuinely afford. Both should shape your specific BCDR plan rather than following a generic template.
Do I need BCDR if I already have Microsoft 365 backup?
Possibly both. Microsoft 365 backup protects your cloud application data (email, files, Teams). BCDR protects your physical and virtual server infrastructure. Many Sydney businesses running a hybrid environment need both to be fully covered.
How quickly can you recover a server after a ransomware attack?
Recovery speed depends on your specific RTO and the deployment option in place, but VM-based recovery is designed to bring a server back online significantly faster than traditional bare-metal recovery methods, often within hours rather than days.
Do you test disaster recovery plans, or just set them up once?
We test and validate BCDR plans on a regular schedule, since an untested recovery plan is really just an assumption. Testing confirms recovery actually works before you need to rely on it in a genuine crisis.
What deployment options are available for BCDR backup?
Local, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid deployment are all available, matched to your specific risk tolerance, budget, and RTO/RPO requirements.
Ready to Know Your Actual Recovery Time?
