Microsoft services restore properly. Or they don't.
SQL Server
Coordinated VSS Writer. Every transaction logged. Full / differential / log backups.
Exchange (on-prem)
VSS Writer freezes mailbox stores at quiesce. No corrupt-on-restore mailboxes.
Active Directory
System State backup with NTDS database in consistent state. Domain Controller restore actually works.
Hyper-V
VM Writer for live VM backups without taking guests offline.
The Writer Status report shows every VSS writer's success rate per device — proof your databases are quiesced, not just copied.
When the auditor asks, you export.
Every backup, restore, policy change, and canary incident is logged with user, resource, IP, and timestamp. Pro keeps 365 days of history and exports it on demand — the “show me your backup evidence” question answered in one click.
Enterprise-grade DR. SMB pricing. $119 a year.
15-user / 3-server SMB. No backup appliance, no Windows Server license, no per-socket SKUs.

Pro FAQ
Why is Pro 15 users instead of 25 mentioned in older docs?+
We revised Pro down to 15 users to keep pricing simple and prevent enterprise creep into the flat-price tier. A few seats over? Add extra users at $12/user/year. Scaling well past that? See BigMind Resilience (per-user-per-month, scales to thousands).
Does Pro include compliance reporting?+
Audit logs with 365-day retention and export are included. Pre-built compliance report templates (HIPAA / PCI / SOC 2) are roadmapped for Pro v2 — not at launch. WORM-immutable storage is a BigMind Resilience feature. For SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 / HIPAA-compliant infrastructure documentation, see the Trust Center — request reports, BAA / DPA templates, sub-processor list, and pen-test summaries without a sales call.
Can I run Pro on more than 3 servers?+
No — 3 is the cap. For more servers or per-user scaling, see BigMind Resilience.
I have 25+ machines and need to restore them in the right order during an incident. Does DR Pro handle that?+
DR Pro restores one machine at a time — manual selection. Recovery orchestration / Recovery Plans is a Resilience Pro feature, coming Q3 2026 — restore by priority group (identity → databases → apps → files → endpoints), with verification gates between groups and a Drill Mode for quarterly testing. If you'll need orchestrated multi-machine recovery, the upgrade path is BigMind Resilience Pro.
Will my $119 renewal be $119 next year?+
Yes. We don't do renewal hikes. Lock in $119 today, lock in $119 always.
