BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY FOR AEC FIRMS - CAROLINAS

Your Revit Files Are One Failure Away From a Missed Deadline.

AEC firms run on large, complex project files and most backup systems were never built to handle them. Bluetowne delivers tested, AEC-ready backup and disaster recovery so a server failure, ransomware event, or accidental deletion never costs you a bid window or a client relationship.

Sound Familiar? Here Is How We Fix It.

"We have no idea if our backups are actually working."

Most AEC firms set up a backup solution once and never test it. A backup that has never been restored is not a backup – it is a false sense of security. When a real failure hits, that is when you find out the last successful job ran six months ago.

-> We monitor every backup job in real time, alert on failures immediately, and run scheduled recovery drills so you always know your data is protected and recoverable.

"Ransomware locked every project file two days before a bid submission."

Ransomware attacks on AEC firms are rising – blueprints and project IP are high-value targets. If your backup system is connected to your live environment, ransomware encrypts your backups too. Recovery without an immutable copy means paying the ransom or losing the work.

-> We implement immutable, air-gapped backup copies that ransomware cannot reach, so your project files are always recoverable – even from a full encryption event.

"We have terabytes of BIM data - standard backup tools cannot keep up."

Consumer and generic SMB backup tools choke on multi-gigabyte Revit models and xref-heavy CAD libraries. Backup windows run past business hours, jobs fail silently, and incremental-change tracking breaks on large binary files.

-> We deploy large-file-optimized backup solutions with block-level deduplication and efficient change tracking, purpose-built to handle the data volumes AEC firms actually generate.

"We have never actually tested whether we can recover. It terrifies me."

Untested disaster recovery plans fail when firms need them most. Recovery time objectives look great on paper until a real event reveals the restore process takes 48 hours, not the 4 hours the plan promised.

-> We document your RPO and RTO, run scheduled recovery drills against real data, and give you a written report so you know exactly how long recovery takes – before you ever need it.

Why AEC Firms in the Carolinas Choose Bluetowne for Backup & DR

Zero Disruption

Backup migrations, DR implementations, and infrastructure changes delivered without halting your operations. No downtime, no go-live stress.

Flat-Rate Predictable Pricing

One monthly fee covers your entire backup and DR environment. No surprise invoices when a restore takes hours or a recovery drill exposes a gap. Our support is always included.

Compliance-Ready

We align your backup and DR posture to CMMC, NIST 800-171, and DFARS requirements which are critical for AEC firms handling federal, DoD-adjacent, or regulated project data.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We monitor backup jobs around the clock and catch failures before your team notices. You find out we fixed a backup gap – not that a week of project data is gone.

“We had a bid due Friday and lost a server on Wednesday. A few years ago that would have sunk us. Bluetowne had everything restored the same day and we submitted on time without the client ever knowing. Knowing our backups actually hold up is absolutely worth it.”
