Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Services

Rhumbu LLC works with regulated industries and fast-moving enterprises alike. Healthcare organizations and providers get HIPAA-aware backups and tested EHR recovery; finance teams receive PCI and audit-grade retention and logging; retail operations get POS protection and store-level failover; manufacturing and OT environments receive carefully coordinated recovery plans that avoid operational impact. Our approach is tailored per industry, balancing compliance, recovery speed, and cost.

Core capabilities (what we deliver)

Rhumbu’s Data Backup & Disaster Recovery service is an end-to-end program covering assessment, design, deployment, testing, management, and field execution. Deliverables include a formal Recovery Blueprint, implemented backup architecture, automated verification, documented runbooks, regular DR testing, incident orchestration, and post-event forensics and improvement.

Discovery & Recovery Objectives

We start with a rapid discovery to map applications, data flows, dependencies, and business priorities. We facilitate stakeholder workshops to set Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) per workload and to translate business impact into technical targets and cost estimates.

Backup Architecture & Options

We design hybrid architectures that mix local snapshots, immutable offsite copies, and cloud backups to balance speed, durability, and cost. Options include full/incremental/differential backups, image-level snapshots for VMs, continuous replication for critical systems, and long-term archival to object/cold storage. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, versioned retention policies, and geographic redundancy to guard against site failures. For cloud-native workloads we centralize and automate protection using managed services to reduce operational overhead. AWS Documentation+1

Immutable Backups & Ransomware Resilience

To defend against ransomware that targets and encrypts backups, we implement immutable storage and locked snapshots plus isolated “air-gapped” copies where required. Immutable copies ensure clean restore points are always available even if production systems are compromised.

Data Integrity & Verification

Backups without verification are a liability. Rhumbu runs automated integrity checks and periodic test restores to verify backups are recoverable and complete, plus checksum reconciliation and restore validation to ensure data fidelity.

Security & Compliance

Security is embedded across the program: role-based access control, MFA for restore operations, centralized key management, encrypted transfer channels, and full audit trails. For regulated customers we map controls to HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and other standards and produce evidence packages for auditors. We follow industry guidance and NIST contingency frameworks when building formal DR plans. NIST Computer Security Resource Center

Cloud, On-Prem, and Hybrid Management

We protect workloads across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, virtualized environments, physical servers, NAS, and SaaS platforms. For cloud billing, lifecycle, and recovery we integrate managed cloud backup services to centralize policies and reporting and to automate restore orchestration. For on-prem work that requires physical presence — rack installs, tape retrieval, cable repairs, or hardware replacements — Rhumbu coordinates vetted technicians through Field Nation and WorkMarket so the on-site work is traceable, credentialed, and aligned to our change control processes.

DR testing, exercises, and validation

A plan that’s never exercised is a plan that will fail. We run tiered DR testing that includes tabletop exercises, partial (canary) restores, automated failover drills, and full cutover rehearsals. Testing cadence is risk-based: critical systems typically undergo quarterly or semi-annual drills, while full DR rehearsals are scheduled at least annually for most organizations. Every test produces a lessons-learned report and prioritized remediation plan. sbscyber.com

Tools and integrations we commonly use

Rhumbu uses industry-proven tooling to match customer needs: enterprise backup platforms (image and file protection), immutable repositories, cloud backup services, and orchestration systems. We design integrations with Veeam, major cloud backup services, and native cloud backup APIs so you can meet both technical and business SLAs while keeping operations automated and auditable. Our standard stack includes image-level backup and replication, centralized policy engines, and role-based restore workflows. Veeam Software+1

Field operations & contractor marketplace integration

When on-site tasks are necessary, Rhumbu scales fast by engaging pre-vetted contractors through Field Nation and WorkMarket; these marketplaces provide background checks, certifications, GPS-tracked work logs, and verified timesheets so physical tasks — from rack-and-stack to last-mile network fixes — are executed quickly and verifiably. We integrate contractor work into our ticketing and change control systems so remote engineers and on-site technicians function as a single coordinated team, reducing travel delays and accelerating recovery windows. Field Nation+1

Pricing models & SLA options

We offer flexible commercial arrangements: project-based pricing for one-time implementations, flat-fee managed protection with tiered SLAs for ongoing backup and recovery, and hybrid T&M + retainer for complex environments requiring frequent on-site work via contractor platforms. SLAs define response windows, RTO targets, restore priorities, and reporting frequency and can be customized to match business criticality.

KPIs & reporting you’ll get

Rhumbu provides clear, business-oriented reporting: backup success rate, backup window and duration trends, restore verification success, RTO/RPO adherence, incident counts, average time to restore, and monthly cost maps (by application or tag). These metrics translate technical operations into executive visibility and audit-ready evidence.

Typical engagement workflow

We follow a predictable engagement path: kickoff and discovery, risk and dependency mapping, Recovery Blueprint delivery, pilot and test restores, phased migration of protection policies, DR validation exercises, and ongoing managed operations with scheduled reviews and continuous improvement.

Common questions 

What is the difference between backups and disaster recovery? Backups create restorable copies of data; disaster recovery is the full plan (people, processes, tools) to restore services and meet RTO/RPO targets. How often should backups be tested? Critical workloads should be tested quarterly or more often with at least an annual full DR rehearsal. How fast can you restore? Target restore times depend on RTO commitments; Rhumbu designs solutions to meet client-specific RTOs from minutes (for critical replicas) to hours/days for archival restores. How do you prevent ransomware from corrupting backups? We use immutability, isolated copies, tight access controls, and immutable cloud repositories so a clean point is always available. Who performs on-site recovery? Rhumbu’s engineers coordinate on-site work through our own field teams or via vetted contractors on platforms such as Field Nation and WorkMarket when rapid local presence is required.

Why Rhumbu is the right partner

Rhumbu combines practical engineering with disciplined project delivery and the ability to scale physical operations through vetted contractor marketplaces. We build recoverable systems that match the business value of your applications, we document and practice recovery, and we integrate secure field operations so physical tasks never become a governance gap. Our goal is measurable resilience: fewer incidents, faster restores, and demonstrable compliance.
