Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity for HIPAA Compliance
At Atlantic.Net, we've spent the last three decades preparing for the next disaster by combining experience, expertise, and world-class hosting infrastructure to provide the most secure HIPAA Disaster Recovery hosting solution – designed for uninterrupted business continuity.
To minimize risk and help you get back to business quickly, Atlantic.Net offers off-site backup and replication of your mission-critical data away from the primary facility. This ensures smooth data recovery in the event of a local outage or regional disaster. Our Disaster Recovery solutions are ideal for privacy, security, and compliance work that requires adherence to the strictest government regulations.
Managed Disaster Recovery Service
One major prerequisite of HIPAA compliance for managed service providers is to demonstrate proficiency at protecting client infrastructure in a disaster recovery (DR) scenario. Atlantic.Net has a successful track record over thirty years, standing tall among service providers with award-winning service backed by always-available support. The end goal: a robust Disaster Recovery service for businesses of all sizes.
Our HIPAA-compliant hosting is available in multiple geographically disparate locations. We actively monitor and manage client services and, if a failure is detected, our advanced optional managed disaster recovery solution can fail services over from a primary data center to a secondary site.
This enables Atlantic.Net to offer top-level RTOs and RPOs and gives our clients the confidence that they can depend on our disaster recovery service. In the event of a disaster, we will recover applications and data within a pre-agreed service-level agreement, ensuring that healthcare data is protected and readily available.
HIPAA Managed Backup
The rapid growth of data, shrinking backup windows and budgets, scaling issues, and multiplatform environments in healthcare all present significant challenges for server administrators. Atlantic.Net's experts can help – whether you're looking to back up HIPAA-compliant cloud hosting servers or HIPAA-compliant dedicated servers. Through our powerful Server Backup Manager – a fast, affordable platform for both Linux and Windows – we perform backups at daily, hourly, 15-minute, or 5-minute increments for each HIPAA client, whichever they request. Incremental backups are done at the block level for advanced speed, and clients have full control over when, where, and how their data is stored. Data is by default kept in our HIPAA-compliant SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 Type II data centers, secured through on-site measures and a suite of robust HIPAA-compliant security software.
In addition to a host of customization options, the hosting backup platform is also equipped with robust monitoring tools, portable backups, point-in-time snapshots, and the ability to perform a bare-metal restore at any point in time. We support HIPAA-compliant backups for the majority of virtualized platforms, as well as a wide range of SQL servers and databases.
Atlantic.Net is recognized worldwide by top DR/BC professionals and has worked with:

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) – how long the recovery itself takes – is determined separately by the chosen DR architecture (warm standby, hot failover, cold restore). The Atlantic.Net DR team will help size both RPO and RTO during planning. Read more on RTO vs. RPO.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Strategy
You can always be proactive, but unfortunately, you can't always be retroactive when it comes to disaster recovery and business continuity. The last thing a business needs is to experience the regret of not having properly prepared. Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your business against events beyond your control – including natural disasters.

Frequently Asked Questions About HIPAA Disaster Recovery
What is HIPAA Disaster Recovery?
HIPAA Disaster Recovery is a managed disaster-recovery and business-continuity service for healthcare workloads, designed to meet the HIPAA Security Rule's contingency-planning requirements (45 CFR § 164.308(a)(7)). It combines off-site backup, replication, monitored failover, and engineer-led recovery so ePHI remains protected and accessible during a disruption.
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is a copy of your data, stored separately from production, that you can restore from. Disaster recovery is the entire process of getting your application and infrastructure running again after an outage – which may include backups, replication to a secondary site, network reconfiguration, DNS updates, and engineer-led cutover. You need backup to do disaster recovery; you need disaster recovery to use that backup at production scale.
What is RTO and RPO?
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the maximum acceptable downtime between an outage and the application being available again. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, measured in time – how far back from the disaster the recovered data is. Tighter RTO/RPO targets cost more (in storage, replication, and standby capacity); looser targets cost less. The DR architecture is sized to hit both. Full RTO vs. RPO guide.
How frequent can backups be?
Atlantic.Net supports daily, hourly, 15-minute, and 5-minute backup tiers, with block-level incrementals to keep the backup window short and the storage footprint manageable. The right tier depends on your RPO target (see the on-page Backup Frequency Tiers table) and the workload's transaction rate.
Where are off-site backups stored?
Off-site copies are stored in a different Atlantic.Net data center, geographically separated from your primary facility, inside the same audited HIPAA environment. Atlantic.Net operates eight data center locations worldwide (New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Toronto, London, Ashburn, Singapore, and Orlando), so you can pick a secondary region that satisfies your distance and jurisdictional requirements.
How does Veeam Backup & Replication fit into Atlantic.Net's DR?
Veeam Backup & Replication is one of the platforms Atlantic.Net uses to deliver always-on protection across virtual, physical, and cloud workloads. Atlantic.Net engineers handle Veeam licensing, agent installation, policy configuration, and recovery; customers keep visibility through the Managed Veeam Service.
Does Atlantic.Net's DR meet HIPAA Security Rule contingency requirements?
Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule's contingency-plan standard (§ 164.308(a)(7)) calls for data backup, disaster recovery, and emergency-mode operation plans. Atlantic.Net's Managed Disaster Recovery is delivered from infrastructure independently audited under HIPAA AT-C 105 / 205, with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) available to customers handling ePHI.
What is a bare-metal restore?
A bare-metal restore brings an entire server – operating system, applications, configuration, and data – back to a fresh physical or virtual server, without depending on the original hardware. It is the workhorse pattern for recovering a server that cannot be repaired in place after a hardware or facility loss.
How quickly can I fail over to a secondary site?
It depends on the architecture you choose. A hot-failover site with replicated data can take over within minutes; a warm-standby site typically takes tens of minutes to a few hours; a cold-restore from backups can take longer depending on volume and bandwidth. The Atlantic.Net DR team will design the architecture to your RTO target and pre-agree it as part of the SLA.
How is Managed Disaster Recovery priced?
Pricing depends on the protected workload size, the chosen RTO/RPO targets, the secondary-site architecture (hot, warm, cold), and the data volume backed up and retained. Contact our sales team for a quote tailored to your environment.
