About Our Company

Dakota Backup & Recovery has been serving as a complete data backup & disaster recovery solution provider since 2005.


A disaster recovery solution provider centrally located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, far from hurricanes, earthquakes and other physical disasters.

Dakota Backup's History

Our company was founded in 2005 when current senior partners saw a deficiency in the industry's existing data backup services and disaster recovery solutions. Today, the Dakota Backup & Recovery team continues to explore new technologies and improved solutions to remain a leading business continuity and disaster recovery solution provider.

We are an affiliate of KT Connections, Inc. and Ketel Thorstenson, LLP. With a staff of more than 150 professionals, Ketel Thorstenson is the region’s largest accounting firm and has been in business for more than 70 years. KT Connections, Inc. is the leading technology solution provider in western South Dakota and has been in business for 15 years.

The Difference Dakota Backup Makes

In a market burgeoning on a daily basis with new cloud-managed data backup services, what makes Dakota Backup & Recovery different?

The distinction is important, and it comes down to stability, security, and trust. Our eight-year tenure in data backup services has stabilized our solution to provide the consistency our clients deserve. Security is a direct composite of the technologies we’ve developed as a disaster recovery solution provider, and trust has sprung naturally from the notoriously Midwestern style of service we offer.
 
  • Partnering in Technology

From our inception, we’ve built and maintained a successful partnership with Asigra Cloud Backup in order to deliver the height of technology for our disaster recovery and data backup services. We’re proud of our long-term partnership with Asigra, a world leading provider of cloud backup, recovery, and restore software.

Collectively we proffer Public, Hybrid, and Private Cloud offerings with decades of technical and management expertise in delivering best-in-class solutions to meet your demanding business requirements.

  • A Sense of Service

The Dakota Backup & Recovery team and its accredited channel partners deliver cloud data backup services and disaster recovery solutions by working closely together to analyze, deploy, and fully support US and International clients. Our solution might be technical, but our service is confident, attentive, and client-centered.

Dakota Backup has established itself as a principle cloud backup and disaster recovery solution provider managed by business professionals and industry experts that you can rely on.

Where Are We?

The answer to that question is the very same as the location of your vital company resources when they’re safely and securely stored and protected by our data backup services. We’re located in Rapid City, South Dakota; home to Mount Rushmore and the granite mountains of the Black Hills. Given our location near the center of North America and our lack of natural disasters, our physical location is one of the safest in the US. We operate from two Tier III and SAS 70 Type II data centers with 24-7 video surveillance, secure-card access, and environmental monitoring.
