How is your backup solution different from what we might already have in place?

Most backup solutions copy files. Ours, powered by Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, captures complete image-based snapshots of your entire systems — operating system, applications, settings, and data — so recovery means spinning up a working machine in minutes rather than rebuilding from scratch over days. We also add ransomware canary detection, Safe Recovery scanning, and automated restore testing, which most backup tools entirely lack.

What does "out-of-state backup storage" mean and why does it matter?

If a disaster affects your region — wildfire, extended power outage, flooding, or a physical event at your office and offsite location simultaneously — backups stored only locally or in nearby facilities may be unavailable. We replicate critical backups to out-of-state storage facilities as a third tier of protection. For true disaster recovery, geographic separation is not optional — it is the difference between a bad week and a business-ending event.

Do you provide on-site support when projects need hands-on work?

Yes. We provide both remote and on-site support across Victor Valley, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Los Angeles County.

What does onboarding usually look like?

Typical onboarding includes discovery, documentation, baseline hardening, and a short-term action plan with clear milestones and owners.

Backup and Recovery You Can Actually Count On When It Matters

An untested backup is not a backup — it's a hope. Most businesses run backup jobs for years without ever validating a restore, only discovering the gaps at the worst possible moment: after a ransomware attack, a hardware failure, or a catastrophic deletion event. The uncomfortable truth is that most traditional backup solutions protect files, but not the full system state needed for rapid recovery. Rebuilding a server from a file backup can take days. Sonic Systems designs recovery programs built around the goal that actually matters: getting your business back online fast.

Powered by Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, our image-based backup captures full system snapshots — operating system, applications, configurations, and data — so we can spin up a failed machine as a virtual server within minutes of an incident. Ransomware canary files detect encryption activity the moment it begins, halting backup jobs before the attack can contaminate your recovery points. Safe Recovery technology scans and cleans restores before they come back online, so you recover clean — not reinfected. And our three-tier storage architecture (local, offsite, and out-of-state) ensures that even a regional disaster doesn't take your backups with it.

We also handle the SaaS gap that catches many organizations off guard: Microsoft 365 email, SharePoint, and Teams data are your responsibility to protect, not Microsoft's. Our program includes cross-platform coverage so that data living in the cloud is backed up with the same rigor as data on your servers. Every backup is automatically tested, every recovery objective is documented, and your recovery plan is rehearsed before you need it — not after.

Who This Is For

Businesses that cannot afford hours or days of downtime — every hour offline costs real revenue and reputation.
Organizations with compliance or contractual requirements for data retention, recoverability, and geographic redundancy.
Teams that experienced a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or data loss event and never want to feel that panic again.
Companies whose backups have never been tested — because untested backups are not actually backups.
Businesses needing multiple recovery tiers: local fast restore, offsite failover, and out-of-state disaster recovery.

Common Challenges We Solve

Backups running for years but restores never tested — until the moment a restore is desperately needed and it fails.
Single backup location that ransomware encrypts along with production data, leaving no clean recovery point.
No defined recovery time or recovery point objectives — no one knows how long recovery actually takes or how much data will be lost.
Backup solutions that protect files but not full system state — meaning OS, application, and configuration recovery takes days, not minutes.
SaaS data gaps: Microsoft 365 email, SharePoint, and Teams data not backed up because it lives "in the cloud."

What's Included in Our Data Backup & DR Service

Image-based backup powered by Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud — capturing full system state so entire machines restore in minutes, not days.
Instant VM restore: spin up a failed physical or virtual server as a virtual machine in minutes to maintain operations while hardware is repaired or replaced.
Safe Recovery technology: restores are scanned and cleaned before being brought back online — so you recover clean, not reinfected.
Ransomware canary files and behavioral monitoring: detect encryption activity the moment it begins and halt backup jobs before ransomware can contaminate your recovery points.
Three-tier storage architecture: local backup for fastest recovery, secondary offsite replication, and out-of-state disaster recovery storage for true geographic redundancy.
Automated backup verification and restore testing — every backup is validated, not just assumed to be working.
Cross-platform protection: physical servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads, and SaaS data including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS): full production environment failover capability — spin up your business in the cloud within minutes of a catastrophic failure.

Expected Outcomes

Recovery measured in minutes, not days — with tested, verified restore points you can actually count on.
Ransomware cannot destroy your backups: canaries detect encryption, immutable copies survive the attack, Safe Recovery brings you back clean.
Geographic redundancy means a local disaster — fire, flood, power event — does not end your business.
Compliance-ready data retention with audit trails, retention policies, and documented recovery objectives.
Peace of mind backed by a real recovery plan — not just a backup job running in the background hoping for the best.
