Disaster Recovery Guarantee
TekTegrity guarantees in the event of a hardware failure, an OS security exploitation, or a server-side virus infection that you will not be billed for the labor required to restore your server to the point provided by the last good and available backup. Furthermore, the customer reserves the right to request that the disaster recovery service be delivered during business hours, nights, and/or weekends.
