The Reality
Downtime Costs More Than You Think
A server failure, ransomware attack or office fire doesn’t just cause inconvenience – it stops your business generating revenue and puts your reputation on the line. Without a tested disaster recovery plan, most businesses take days or even weeks to get back to normal.
Traditional disaster recovery was expensive and complex – requiring dedicated hardware, regular manual testing and specialist expertise. Blowfish Technology delivers enterprise-grade disaster recovery without any of that overhead, through Cove’s cloud-native DR capabilities.

The Right Recovery for Every Situation
⚡ Standby Image – Near-Instant Recovery
A bootable virtual machine is pre-staged and ready to go at any time. When disaster strikes, Blowfish can spin up your server environment in minutes – in VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Microsoft Azure.
Best for businesses with zero tolerance for downtime where every minute counts.
? One-Time Restore – Targeted Recovery
Rebuild a bootable virtual machine from any restore point when needed – without maintaining a pre-staged environment. Choose the exact point in time to recover from, restoring to VMware, Hyper-V or Azure.
Best for businesses that need flexible DR without ongoing staging costs.
✅ Automated Recovery Testing
Cove automatically boots a recovery machine in our secure cloud and captures a screenshot of the boot screen – giving you verified, visual proof of recoverability with no manual effort required.
AI-powered boot verification with over 99% success rate. Know your data is recoverable before you ever need it.
? Fast File & Folder Recovery
Not every incident requires a full server restore. Cove enables fast, granular recovery of individual files, folders and application data – getting your team back to work in minutes rather than hours.
Ideal for accidental deletions, file corruption or partial data loss scenarios.
Why Blowfish
DR Without the Complexity
Disaster recovery used to mean expensive dedicated hardware, complex configurations and manual testing that never actually happened. Blowfish Technology delivers enterprise-grade DR through Cove – cloud-native, automated and fully managed by our local team.
Common Questions
Disaster Recovery FAQs
What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery? ⌄
Backup is the process of copying your data to a safe location. Disaster recovery is the process of getting your systems and operations running again after an incident. DR encompasses backup but goes further – defining how quickly you can recover (RTO) and how much data you can afford to lose (RPO).
How quickly can we be back up and running? ⌄
With Standby Image, your server environment can be recovered in minutes. With One-Time Restore, recovery typically takes a few hours depending on the amount of data. We’ll define your specific RTO targets as part of your DR planning and ensure the solution is configured to meet them.
Do we need to do anything to test our DR? ⌄
No – Cove’s automated recovery testing handles this for you. The system automatically boots a recovery machine, captures a screenshot as proof of success and reports back to us. We review these results and alert you to any issues. You get the assurance of regular DR testing with zero effort.
What happens if we’re hit by ransomware? ⌄
Our team will work with you to contain the incident, identify a clean restore point before the ransomware infection and begin recovery. Because Cove’s backups are immutable and isolated from your network, they cannot be encrypted by ransomware – meaning you always have a clean copy to recover from.
How much does disaster recovery cost? ⌄
DR is typically provided as part of our managed backup service. The cost depends on the amount of data, the recovery time objective you need and whether you require Standby Image capability. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
