How It Works

Automated Protection, Managed Recovery

Automated Image Backups

Our automated backup systems perform regular server protection that encompasses complete system images, not just individual files, including operating systems and applications.

Fault-Tolerant Storage

All data is securely stored within fault-tolerant storage area networks with redundant infrastructure.

Continuous Offsite Replication

Your data is continuously replicated to our secure offsite facility, ensuring protection and immediate accessibility during recovery scenarios.

Enterprise-Grade Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, so backups are protected as carefully as production systems.

CMA-Managed Restoration

In the event of hardware failure or system compromise, CMA Technologies manages the complete restoration process to minimize business disruption and restore operations efficiently.

Transparent Per-GB Pricing

Available through our managed services portfolio or as a standalone service. Pay per GB of actual storage utilization — no additional charges for bandwidth, virtualization licensing, or deployment fees.

Cold-Site Replication

Cost-effective offsite copies that can be brought online in the datacenter when a longer recovery window is acceptable.

FAQ

Backup & Disaster Recovery, Answered

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and infrastructure that gets your systems running again after a failure — including where they run, how quickly, and who does it. CMA provides both.

Does this protect against ransomware?

Yes. Because complete system images are replicated offsite and encrypted, CMA can restore systems to a point before the infection rather than paying a ransom. Backups are also monitored under CMA’s managed security program.

How is it priced?

Per GB of actual storage utilization, with no additional charges for bandwidth, virtualization licensing, or deployment fees. It is available as part of a managed services agreement or as a standalone service.

Where are the backups stored?

In CMA’s secure Tier IV datacenter in Maryland, within fault-tolerant storage area networks with redundant infrastructure, plus additional offsite storage copies.

Who performs the restore when something goes wrong?

CMA does. In the event of hardware failure or system compromise, we manage the complete restoration process so your team can focus on the business.
