Data Protection & Recovery

Back Up Everything.
Recover Anything.
In Minutes, Not Days.

Ransomware, hardware failure, human error, and natural disaster don't give warning. GAIN designs, deploys, and manages enterprise backup and disaster recovery environments that are tested, verified, and ready the moment you need them.

What We Solve

Data Protection & Recovery Solutions

A backup that hasn't been tested isn't a backup — it's a hope. GAIN builds protection environments with documented, verified recovery procedures and SLAs you can actually hold us to.

💾

Enterprise Backup & Replication

Policy-driven backup for physical servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads, SaaS applications, and endpoints — centrally managed with automated scheduling, deduplication, and offsite replication to a secondary site or cloud vault.

VM Backup Cloud Backup Deduplication Offsite Replication

Disaster Recovery as a Service

Orchestrated DR failover to cloud or colocation — with documented runbooks, automated failover testing, and defined RTO/RPO SLAs. GAIN manages the full DR lifecycle so your team isn't figuring it out during an incident.

Ransomware-Resilient Architecture

Immutable backup storage, air-gapped vaults, anomaly detection, and rapid clean-room recovery — purpose-built to survive a ransomware event and restore operations in minutes rather than weeks.

Cloud & Hybrid Data Protection

Protect workloads across AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and GCP — plus hybrid environments mixing cloud and on-premises infrastructure. Unified policy, unified reporting, and cross-cloud snapshot management from a single pane of glass.

📱

SaaS & Endpoint Protection

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and endpoint backup — the data most organizations assume is protected by the vendor but isn't. GAIN closes this gap with automated SaaS data protection and rapid individual item recovery.

Business Continuity Planning

GAIN helps you build and maintain a tested Business Continuity Plan — mapping critical systems, defining recovery priorities, documenting procedures, and running annual tabletop exercises so your team knows exactly what to do when the moment arrives.

GAIN Protection Framework

The 3-2-1-1 Rule — Evolved

The classic 3-2-1 backup rule says: 3 copies, 2 different media types, 1 offsite. Modern ransomware has forced an evolution. GAIN designs to the 3-2-1-1 standard — adding one immutable, air-gapped copy that attackers cannot reach, encrypt, or delete.

Beyond architecture, GAIN enforces one more requirement most vendors skip: every backup environment we deploy is tested on a defined schedule, with documented results and an updated recovery runbook. An untested backup is a liability, not an asset.

How GAIN Delivers

Our Data Protection Engagement

From assessment through ongoing managed operations — GAIN builds backup and DR environments that work when it matters, not just when everything's going fine.

1
DR Readiness Assessment
Audit your current backup coverage, test recoverability, identify gaps in RTO/RPO, and score your environment against 3-2-1-1 best practices. Delivered in two weeks.
2
Architecture Design
Design your target protection architecture — platform selection, storage sizing, replication topology, immutable vault strategy, and recovery site design.
3
Deployment & Migration
Deploy backup infrastructure, migrate existing backup jobs, configure policies, set up immutable repositories, and perform initial full backups with seed verification.
4
DR Testing & Runbooks
Execute a full DR failover test, measure actual RTO/RPO, document recovery procedures, and deliver a signed-off runbook for every critical workload.
5
Managed Protection
24/7 backup monitoring, daily job verification, quarterly DR tests, capacity planning, and incident response — GAIN manages it so your team doesn't have to.
