Backup & Disaster Recovery
The answer to the worst day: what is protected, how far back you can go, how quickly it comes back, and who does what while it is coming back.
What it is
A backup is a claim. A restore is the proof.
The answer to the worst day: what is protected, how far back you can go, how quickly it comes back, and who does what while it is coming back.
The work is design and verification at handover: the backup architecture built, and then proven by restoring, because an unverified backup is a hope with a schedule.
When a business needs it
The question becomes urgent exactly once.
- Backups run, and nobody has ever restored from one
- What is actually protected is a guess, and the important thing usually is not
- Recovery time is unknown, so nobody can say what a bad day would cost
- The recovery plan is a person, and the plan fails when they are on leave
What we deliver
- 01What must be protected agreed with the business, with retention and recovery targets
- 02Backup architecture designed and configured across servers, files and systems
- 03Recovery verified by restoring at handover, not assumed from green ticks
- 04A written recovery sequence, so the worst day runs on a document rather than memory
How it connects
Recovery spans every system worth backing up.
- Virtualised workloads backed up at the platform layer, one method for all
- The file structure covered as one estate rather than scattered stores
- Ongoing monitoring of backup health under a support agreement, where one exists
- Recovery targets informing infrastructure sizing rather than discovered after it
Backup & Disaster Recovery questions
Is our backup actually working?
That is the right question, and the answer is usually unknown until it is tested. We verify restores rather than confirming that a job ran, and the recovery plan is written down rather than assumed.
What is actually in a disaster recovery plan?
It is written down rather than assumed: what is backed up, where, how restores are verified, who does what and in which order. A backup is a claim; a restore is the proof.
Test the restore before you need it.
