Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is backup power for business continuity, and why does it matter?+
-
Backup power for business continuity refers to emergency generator systems that keep a business operational during utility outages — whether caused by severe weather, grid failures, or other disruptions. Without a reliable power source, critical functions like communications, IT systems, refrigeration, and customer service grind to a halt.
Why it matters: Extended outages cost businesses an average of $8,000–$74,000 per hour, depending on industry. A tested backup power plan is a core component of any business continuity or disaster recovery strategy.
- How does Agility Recovery's generator and backup power service work?+
-
Agility Recovery provides on-demand access to generators and temporary backup power equipment as part of its business continuity and disaster recovery service. When a member activates a recovery request, Agility coordinates the rapid deployment of generators to the affected site — typically within 24–48 hours — so operations can resume quickly.
The service operates through a membership model, meaning businesses pre-establish their recovery needs before a disaster strikes. This eliminates the scramble for equipment when demand surges after a regional event.
- What types of generators and backup power equipment does Agility Recovery provide?+
-
Agility Recovery’s network includes a range of generator sizes and configurations to match different facility types and power requirements, from smaller portable generators for branch offices to large trailer-mounted units capable of powering an entire building. Equipment selection is based on the load requirements documented during a member’s recovery planning process.
- What industries benefit most from a backup power business continuity plan?+
-
Any organization where an outage has operational, financial, or regulatory consequences should have a backup power plan in place. Industries with the highest urgency include:
Financial services & credit unions — member-facing branches, ATMs, and data systems must remain available. Regulators increasingly require documented business continuity plans that address power disruptions.
Healthcare — patient safety depends on uninterrupted power for medical equipment and records systems.
Retail & food service — perishable inventory and point-of-sale systems are immediately at risk.
Manufacturing & logistics — production line stoppages and cold chain disruptions have cascading costs.
- Is backup power only necessary for large organizations?+
-
No. Small and mid-sized businesses are often more financially vulnerable to extended outages than large enterprises, because they typically have less cash reserve and fewer redundant systems. Backup power planning is important regardless of organization size.
- How quickly can backup generators be deployed after a disaster?+
-
Agility Recovery targets generator deployment within 24–48 hours of a recovery request, depending on location and the scope of a regional event. Because Agility maintains a pre-positioned equipment network and coordinates logistics in advance, members avoid competing with the public market for generator rentals — which routinely sell out after major storms.
- What happens if a major regional disaster affects many businesses at once?+
-
This is precisely when membership-based backup power has the greatest advantage. After hurricanes, ice storms, and other widespread events, the rental generator market can be depleted within hours. Agility Recovery members have pre-established priority access to equipment and logistics support, meaning their recovery isn’t dependent on what’s left on the shelf after a disaster hits the region.
- Does Agility Recovery handle fuel, setup, and monitoring for deployed generators?+
-
Yes. Agility’s recovery service is designed to be turnkey. Equipment delivery, setup, and ongoing support during the recovery period are coordinated through their operations team. This matters because managing fuel logistics and generator maintenance during an active disaster is a significant burden for an already-stretched operations team.
- How do I determine what size generator my business needs?+
-
Generator sizing is based on the electrical load of the systems you need to keep running during an outage — not necessarily your full facility. Critical loads typically include HVAC for a core area, servers and network equipment, point-of-sale or teller systems, security systems, and communications infrastructure. Agility Recovery’s planning process includes a load assessment that identifies what equipment is mission critical and matches appropriate generator capacity to it.
- Should backup power be tested before a real emergency?+
-
Absolutely — and regulators often require it. Testing confirms that your generator can handle the actual load it will carry, that staff know how to activate and monitor the system, and that fuel supply and hookup procedures work as expected. Untested backup power plans frequently fail at the moment they’re needed most. Agility Recovery includes exercise and testing support as part of its program, so members can validate their plan before storm season hits.
- How does backup power fit into a broader business continuity plan?+
-
Power is the foundation that all other recovery capabilities depend on — communications, data access, physical security, and member or customer service all require power to function. A comprehensive business continuity plan addresses power alongside workspace recovery, technology recovery, and communications. Agility Recovery integrates backup power as part of a complete recovery solution that also includes temporary workspace, satellite internet, and ongoing BCP program support.
