A Backup and Continuity Solution That Actually Protects Your Business
Many businesses believe they’re protected because they run backups. But a backup is worthless if it’s incomplete, never tested, or takes days to restore while your operations sit paralyzed. Having your data stored somewhere is one thing. Being able to keep working immediately after a disaster is another. That’s the real difference between a simple backup and true business continuity.
Our backup and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions protect your entire environment, including your servers, workstations, virtual machines, and cloud applications like Microsoft 365, letting you recover your data or even restart a server within minutes. Contact us today for an assessment of your continuity plan!
Complete Backup of Your IT Environment
Every engagement starts with full coverage of your data. We back up your servers, workstations, virtual machines, and cloud applications at frequent intervals, so no part of your business is left unprotected.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Backup
Your data in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace isn’t as protected as you might think. Connextek backs up your emails, files, and cloud data, so you can recover them after an accidental deletion, an employee departure, or an attack, in cases where your provider won’t.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
An outage shouldn’t bring your operations to a halt. Our solution lets you restore a file in a few clicks or restart an entire server within minutes, locally or in the cloud, so your business keeps running even during a disaster.
Proactive Backup Monitoring
A backup that fails silently gives you a false sense of security. We monitor your backups continuously and step in as soon as an issue comes up, ensuring your data stays genuinely protected, day after day, without you having to think about it.
Regular Restore and Integrity Testing
A backup only has value if it can actually be restored. Connextek regularly checks the integrity of your backups and tests their ability to restore, so that when it matters most, your data will truly be recoverable.
Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage
Our approach combines leading edge technology with unmatched local expertise, with immutable backups that can’t be altered or deleted by ransomware, providing robust protection built for SMEs across Quebec and Greater Montreal, for every budget.
Are Your Backups Actually Ready for a Disaster?
It’s always at the worst possible moment that you discover a backup doesn’t work. Too many businesses find out, in the middle of a crisis, that their backups were incomplete, corrupted, too old, or impossible to restore in time. Meanwhile, every hour of downtime means lost revenue, idle employees, and frustrated clients. A backup that’s never been tested isn’t protection, it’s a gamble.
Our continuity solutions eliminate this risk by protecting your data and confirming it’s genuinely recoverable, at all times.
Here’s how we give you peace of mind:
- We back up your entire environment, on premise and in the cloud.
- We monitor your backups continuously to catch any issue.
- We regularly test the integrity and restoration of your data.
- We get your systems running again within minutes after a disaster.
Choosing Connextek means gaining a complete local team, including an IT director and business continuity specialists, working to keep your business standing, no matter what happens.

Reduce Downtime with Real Business Continuity
When disaster strikes, it’s not the incident itself that costs the most, it’s the downtime that follows. Every hour without access to your systems means lost sales, employees paid to sit idle, impatient clients, and a reputation that starts to erode. For many SMEs, just a few days of downtime is enough to put the business at risk.
A continuity solution is one of the most cost effective investments a business can make, because its value is measured by what it helps you avoid losing. Instead of paying for uncertain emergency recovery after the fact, you get planned, monitored, and tested protection for one predictable monthly cost. It’s also concrete support for meeting Law 25 requirements and satisfying insurers who increasingly require a proven continuity plan.
For SMEs across Quebec and Greater Montreal, putting a real continuity solution in place is a strategic decision. It ensures that no matter what happens, your business can get back up and running quickly and keep moving forward.

-
What Is BCDR (Backup and Business Continuity)?
BCDR, or Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, refers to solutions that protect your data through backups while also ensuring your business can keep running after a disaster. Backup protects your data, while continuity lets you resume operations quickly, even during an outage. Together, they make sure an incident, like ransomware or a server failure, doesn't bring your business to a lasting halt.
-
Isn't My Data in Microsoft 365 Already Backed Up?
That's a very common misconception. Microsoft and Google are responsible for the availability of their services, but not for recovering your data after an accidental deletion, an employee departure, human error, or a ransomware attack. Without a dedicated backup, that data can be lost for good. We back up your Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace emails, files, and data to close exactly that gap.
-
What's the Difference Between a Backup and a Continuity Solution?
A backup keeps a copy of your data somewhere, so you can recover it later. A continuity solution goes much further: it lets you get your systems running again within minutes and keep working while the underlying issue is fixed. This distinction matters, because a backup that takes days to restore doesn't protect you from the losses caused by downtime. Continuity is what minimizes that downtime.
-
Do You Monitor My Backups to Make Sure They're Working?
Yes, and it's essential. A backup can fail silently, with no one noticing until the critical moment. We continuously monitor your backups and step in as soon as an issue is detected, ensuring your data stays genuinely protected day after day. You never have to wonder whether your backups worked, we make sure of it for you.
-
Do You Test That My Backups Can Actually Be Restored?
Yes. This is a step many businesses overlook, often to their own cost. A backup only has value if it can be restored when it's needed. We run regular integrity checks and validate your data's restore capability, so you can be confident that in a disaster, your backups will actually be usable. That's the difference between hoping you're protected and actually being protected.
-
Does a Continuity Solution Protect Against Ransomware?
Yes, and it's one of its most important functions today. Our backups are immutable, meaning they can't be altered or deleted, even by ransomware that has infected your network. In the event of an attack, you can restore your systems to a clean prior state instead of paying a ransom. It's a critical safety net against this fast growing threat.
-
How Quickly Can I Recover My Data After a Disaster?
It depends on the scenario, but our goal is always to minimize your downtime as much as possible. For a file or an email, restoring takes just a few clicks. For a major outage, we can bring an entire server back online within minutes, locally or in the cloud, so your operations continue while we repair the original environment. We work with you to set recovery targets that match your reality.
-
Where Is My Backup Data Stored?
Your backups can be kept locally, for fast restores, and in the cloud, for off site protection in case of a physical disaster. We prioritize keeping your data in Canada, which supports your Law 25 compliance and keeps your information under Canadian jurisdiction. This approach combines the speed of local backups with the security of off site protection.
-
Does BCDR Help with Law 25 Compliance and Getting Cyber Insurance?
Yes. Law 25 requires businesses to protect personal information and be able to respond to incidents. A proven continuity solution demonstrates that due diligence. On top of that, cyber insurers increasingly require proof of reliable, tested, immutable backups before issuing or renewing a policy. Our approach, which includes monitoring and integrity testing, directly meets these expectations.
-
Do You Offer Backup and Continuity Services Across Quebec?
Yes. While our head office is in Montreal, we provide backup and continuity solutions across Quebec, on site or remotely. We serve Greater Montreal (including Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, and the South Shore), the Quebec City region, and Mauricie, including Trois-Rivières.
