Backup and Recovery Built for Legal Practices

Court deadlines don’t move because a server failed, and clients don’t accept “We had a backup issue” as an explanation.

Why Recovery Can’t Be an Afterthought

Backup and disaster recovery are the safety net every law firm assumes is in place – until the day they need it. These are the four pressures law firms face most acutely.

Ransomware On the Rise

Law firms are a top target for ransomware operators because of the value of the data they hold. A successful attack can lock attorneys out of every active matter file at the worst possible moment.

Court Deadlines Don’t Wait

A filing deadline doesn’t shift because your document management system is offline. Even a few hours of downtime during the wrong week can mean missed motions, frustrated clients, and exposure to malpractice claims.

Cloud Doesn’t Mean Backed Up

Many firms assume that moving to Microsoft 365 means their data is automatically protected. It isn’t – Microsoft replicates your data, but it doesn’t recover it from accidental deletion, ransomware, or a departing employee with admin rights.

Untested Backups, False Confidence

Most firms have backups in place. Far fewer have ever tested whether those backups actually restore. The moment your firm needs to recover is the wrong moment to find out the backups don’t work.

Why Firms Trust Us to Keep Their Data Safe

Backup and recovery is one of those services nobody thinks about until something goes wrong. Here’s why law firms trust us to get it right before that day arrives.

Legal-Grade Recovery Standards

We design backup and recovery around how law firms operate every day. The recovery time objectives we set match the realities of running a legal practice.

Recovery Tested, Not Assumed

We test restore procedures before you need them, on a schedule. When the day comes that recovery matters, your firm is executing a process we’ve already proven.

A Track Record Without Ransomware losses

Our managed clients have never suffered a successful ransomware attack. Tested backups and immutable recovery procedures are a core reason that record holds.

Cloud and On-Premise Covered

We protect Microsoft 365 data, on-premise servers, cloud applications, and endpoint devices under one strategy. Whatever your firm runs on, the backup and recovery plan covers it.

Documented for Clients and Insurers

Every backup procedure, recovery time objective, and test result is documented and ready to share. Cyber insurance renewals and client questionnaires get answered without scrambling.

One Team, One Accountable Plan

Backup, recovery, security, and day-to-day IT all answer to the same team. When something goes wrong, there’s a coordinated response from people who already know your environment.

Real Results & Real Impact

“Great company! Fast and friendly but most importantly, helpful! Anytime an issue pops up they are there ready to solve it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, organized team of professionals!“

What Our Backup and Recovery Service Covers

Every Constructure Technologies backup and recovery program is designed around the realities of running a law firm – privileged data, court deadlines, and zero tolerance for “We couldn’t get to it.” Here’s what comes as standard.

Immutable Backups

Backups are written to immutable storage, which means ransomware can’t encrypt them, attackers can’t delete them, and accidental damage can’t reach them. Your last line of defense actually holds the line.

Microsoft 365 Protection

We protect the data Microsoft doesn’t with point-in-time recovery for accidental deletion, ransomware, and departing-employee incidents.

Server and Endpoint Backup

On-premise servers, virtual machines, and individual user devices are all backed up under one coordinated plan. Whether the data lives in the office or on a laptop in court, it’s covered.

Tested Recovery Procedures

We run scheduled restore tests against real backups, document the results, and refine recovery procedures continuously. When recovery matters, the playbook is current and proven.

Defined Recovery Time Objectives

Every system in your environment has a documented recovery time objective and recovery point objective, sized to its importance. Your document management system isn’t waiting in the same queue as a dormant test server.

Disaster Recovery Planning

We build documented disaster recovery plans tailored to your firm – covering ransomware, infrastructure failure, office-level incidents, and complete-loss scenarios. When something goes wrong, the response is structured.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most often from law firms thinking about backup and disaster recovery. Answered straight before we speak.

Isn’t our Microsoft 365 data already backed up by Microsoft?

No. Microsoft replicates your data for availability, but it doesn’t protect against accidental deletion, ransomware, or malicious actions by users with admin rights. We deploy proper Microsoft 365 backup with point-in-time recovery, so your firm can actually restore what’s been lost.

How quickly can you recover us from a ransomware attack?

That depends on the size of your environment and the recovery time objectives we agree on up front, but for most firms the answer is hours, not days. Our backups are immutable, our recovery procedures are tested, and our team already knows your environment.

Do you actually test backups, or just hope they work?

We test. Every backup we manage is verified continuously, and full restore tests are run on a documented schedule with results recorded. The first time your firm tests recovery should never be the moment you need it.

Will having proper backup and recovery help with our cyber insurance renewal?

Yes – significantly. Underwriters now ask explicitly about immutable backups, tested recovery procedures, and documented disaster recovery plans. We provide all of that as standard, with the documentation ready to share at renewal time.
