Managed service
Managed backup and recovery, with the path back in view.
ExcelyTech provides managed data protection and recovery for small and medium-sized businesses. The service starts with your environment and keeps recovery part of the conversation.
Specific activities and responsibilities are defined by the agreed service scope.
- 01Business contextWhat matters?
- 02Agreed protectionWhat is in scope?
- 03Recovery approachWhat comes next?
A conceptual view of the service conversation, not a fixed delivery sequence.
A copy and a way back
Backup and recovery answer different questions.
A backup is a protected copy. Recovery is the considered path from that copy toward restored service.
Having a copy does not, by itself, explain how recovery will be handled. The agreed scope defines the work and responsibilities.
Start with what matters
A service conversation grounded in your environment.
The service is organized around understanding context, agreeing what is in scope, and keeping recovery questions visible.

How the service fits
ExcelyTech works around the agreed customer environment.
The service relationship starts with the customer's systems and data in scope. ExcelyTech brings the customer-facing method and service; supporting technology sits beneath it.
The diagram explains the relationship. It does not define unconfirmed technical or support commitments.

The ExcelyTech method
Six connected stages organize the service.
Each stage names an area of focus. The activities depend on the customer's agreed service scope.
- 01
Assess
Understand the environment and recovery needs.
- 02
Protect
Apply the agreed data protection approach.
- 03
Validate
Review protection and readiness within scope.
- 04
Monitor
Keep visibility on activity as defined for the service.
- 05
Recover
Follow agreed steps to restore data or systems.
- 06
Test
Exercise recovery steps as defined by the agreed scope.
These stages describe ExcelyTech's framework, not a guarantee of a particular recovery outcome.
Clear roles
The service, the customer, and the platform have different roles.
The agreed scope is where specific responsibilities are confirmed.
Customer
Provides the context for the environment and works with ExcelyTech to define the agreed scope and responsibilities.
ExcelyTech
Owns the customer-facing managed service and organizes it around the ExcelyTech method.
Supporting platform
Provides technology beneath the service; the platform is not the service provider or the service method.
Technology in context
The platform supports the service. ExcelyTech delivers it.
Arcserve ShadowProtect/SPX is the initial technology platform beneath ExcelyTech's managed data protection and recovery service. The service experience and methodology are ExcelyTech's.
Platform capabilities depend on the version, configuration, environment, and agreed service scope.
