Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Services That Keep Project Files Recoverable
MatrixCore provides data backup and disaster recovery services for architecture, engineering, and construction firms across the Edmonton corridor. We help protect CAD files, drawings, contracts, Microsoft 365 data, and shared project documentation from accidental deletion, sync issues, system crashes, and security incidents. For 5-50 person firms without dedicated IT staff, the goal is simple: keep project data safer, easier to restore, and less likely to derail deadlines.

When Backup Fails, Project Work Becomes the Risk
Unreliable Backups
Backups are only useful if they run consistently and can be restored when needed. We help reduce the risk of discovering backup gaps after a crash, deletion, or ransomware event has already affected project files.
Versioning Confusion
Architecture, engineering, and construction teams often rely on large shared files that change quickly. When version control breaks down, teams can lose time rebuilding work, comparing files, or fixing mistakes caused by outdated documents.
Downtime During Deadlines
A server issue, workstation failure, or cloud access problem can interrupt field teams and office staff at the worst time. Disaster recovery planning helps define what needs to come back first so work can resume in a practical order.
No Clear Recovery Plan
Many small firms have backups but no tested process for using them under pressure. MatrixCore helps document recovery priorities, responsibilities, and restore paths so your team is not improvising during an outage.
Backup and Recovery Should Fit How AEC Teams Actually Work
Project File Protection
We focus on the data your firm depends on every day, including CAD files, Revit models, drawings, estimates, contracts, and client documentation. That keeps the backup strategy connected to real project risk, not just generic server coverage.
Recoverable Microsoft 365 Data
Microsoft 365, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams can still be affected by deletion, sync conflicts, and access mistakes. We help firms think through backup and recovery for cloud collaboration tools as part of the larger data protection plan.
Senior-Level Guidance
Clients work with MatrixCore for practical direction from a founder with 20+ years of enterprise IT experience. That matters when recovery planning requires judgment about risk, workflow impact, cost, and operational priorities.
Local AEC Focus
MatrixCore focuses on architecture, engineering, and construction firms in the Edmonton corridor, including Edmonton, Leduc, Beaumont, Nisku, and Devon. We understand the pressure of project deadlines, shared files, remote teams, and bilingual English and French work environments.

Data Backup & Disaster Recovery Services FAQs
What Do Your Data Backup and Disaster Recovery Services Include?
We help assess what data needs protection, how it is currently backed up, and what would happen if key systems became unavailable. The work can include backup planning, Microsoft 365 data protection review, recovery priorities, restore testing guidance, and practical documentation. The goal is to make recovery more predictable before a file loss or outage creates pressure.
Do Small Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Firms Really Need Disaster Recovery Planning?
Yes, especially when project files, drawings, site documents, and client deliverables are central to daily work. A 5-50 person firm may not need the same recovery model as a large enterprise, but it still needs clear backup coverage and a realistic restore path. Without that, a single crash or deleted folder can affect deadlines and billable work.
Can You Help with Backups for Microsoft 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams?
Yes, MatrixCore works with Microsoft 365 environments commonly used by AEC teams for file sharing and collaboration. We help review how files are stored, where recovery gaps may exist, and how backup planning should account for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data. This is especially important when teams are dealing with sync conflicts or shared project folders.
How Often Should Backups Be Tested?
Backups should be tested on a regular schedule that matches the risk and pace of your business. For project-driven firms, it is not enough to assume a backup completed successfully. Testing helps confirm that files can be restored and that the recovery process is clear enough to use during a real incident.
Can Disaster Recovery Prevent Every Outage or Data Loss Event?
No disaster recovery plan can remove every risk. What it can do is reduce exposure, improve readiness, and give your team a clearer path when something goes wrong. MatrixCore focuses on practical planning that helps firms recover important systems and files with less confusion.
Do You Support Firms Outside Edmonton?
MatrixCore serves the Edmonton corridor and surrounding Alberta communities, including Leduc, Beaumont, Nisku, and Devon. Our model is remote-first, which helps keep support practical for firms with office staff, remote users, and job site teams. Local context matters because AEC firms often need IT support that understands both project work and regional operations.
Make Your Project Data Easier to Recover Before Something Breaks
If your firm has outgrown informal backups or you are unsure what would happen after a crash, deletion, or security incident, MatrixCore can help you review the risk and build a practical recovery path. Start with a conversation about your current files, systems, and deadlines so your backup strategy supports the way your team actually works.
