Backup and disaster recovery for Northwest Indiana businesses
Backup and disaster recovery is two connected things: automatic, verified copies of your business data, and a written plan for resuming work after ransomware, hardware failure, fire, or simple human error. SIGIL builds and tests both for Northwest Indiana small businesses. The test is the service; an unrestored backup is a hope, not a plan.

Why businesses invest in backup & disaster recovery
Automatic, not optional
Backups run on schedule without a human remembering, because the ones that depend on memory are the ones that lapse.
More than one basket
Copies live both locally and off-site, so no single failure, theft, or fire can reach every copy at once.
Restores actually tested
We periodically restore real files from backup to prove the system works before you need it to.
Ransomware leverage removed
Clean, isolated backups turn an extortion attempt into an inconvenience instead of a payment decision.
A plan on paper
A short written recovery plan says who does what and in what order, so the bad day runs on procedure.
Our process
Map what matters
We identify the data and systems your business cannot operate without, and how current each copy must be.
Build the system
Automatic local and off-site backups get configured to cover everything on the map.
Test and document
We run restore tests, record the results, and write the recovery plan in plain language.
Review on schedule
Ongoing checks confirm backups keep succeeding and the plan keeps pace as your business changes.
A local partner, not a vendor
- When recovery day comes, help is local: we can be at your Northwest Indiana site, not on a support line.
- Veteran-owned contingency thinking: plan for the worst day, rehearse it, write it down.

01What does backup and disaster recovery cost?
Pricing is a flat written monthly amount scoped to how much data you protect and how quickly you need to recover it. Faster recovery targets cost more than slower ones, and we help you choose honestly rather than defaulting to the most expensive tier. The initial review of your current backups is free.
02We already back up to an external drive. Is that enough?
It is a start with three common failure modes: it depends on someone remembering, it sits in the same building as the original, and it is rarely test-restored. A fire, theft, or ransomware event can take the original and the drive together. We keep local speed and add off-site protection and testing.
03How fast could we be running again after a disaster?
That is a design decision, not luck. Recovery time depends on the tier we build together, from hours to longer, and the plan states the target explicitly. We help you weigh what downtime actually costs your business so the target fits reality.
04Does OneDrive or Google Drive count as a backup?
Only partly. Sync tools faithfully copy everything, including mistakes: a deleted or ransomware-encrypted file syncs everywhere within minutes. True backup keeps independent point-in-time versions you can roll back to. We often layer real backup on top of the sync tools you already use.
