Backup and Disaster Recovery
Automated backups and tested recovery plans so you can restore fast after any event
What it is
Backup and disaster recovery protects your data and systems against loss from ransomware, hardware failure, human error, natural disasters, and other events. Modern backup solutions automate the process of creating recoverable copies of your data, applications, and system configurations, storing them in geographically separate locations. Disaster recovery goes further by defining how those backups are used to restore operations, including recovery time objectives (how fast systems are restored) and recovery point objectives (how much data you can afford to lose). Regular testing validates that backups are actually recoverable, not just running.
Why it matters
Backups that are not tested are assumptions, not protection. When ransomware encrypts your files or a server fails, the only thing that matters is whether you can actually restore from backup and how long it takes. Tested disaster recovery turns an existential crisis into a recoverable event.
What to expect
Implementation begins with identifying critical systems and data, defining recovery objectives, and configuring automated backup schedules. Initial full backups are followed by incremental backups on a defined schedule. Testing is conducted quarterly or as defined by your compliance requirements.

Common questions
How often should backups run?
Critical systems should be backed up at least daily. Highly transactional systems may need hourly or continuous protection. The right frequency depends on your recovery point objective: how much data can you afford to lose?
Do we need offsite backups?
Yes. If your backups are stored in the same location as your primary systems, a single event like a fire, flood, or ransomware attack can destroy both. Offsite or cloud-based backup storage protects against site-level disasters.
