A protection and recovery matrix
Each in-scope source is tied to retention, recovery-point and recovery-time objectives, copy location, ownership and known recovery dependencies.
Tested recovery, not assumed backups
Backup & Disaster Recovery
A backup is dependable only when recovery has been tested. We maintain agreed copies away from the protected source, apply immutability or access separation where appropriate and verify restores on a defined schedule.
Tested recovery, not assumed backups
What is included
Automated backups, off-site and off the source machine
Immutable or access-separated copies designed to resist ransomware
Approved recovery-time and recovery-point objectives
Scheduled restore tests with documented results
Business continuity planning across systems, dependencies and critical workflows
Microsoft 365 and cloud data backed up separately from the provider
Service scope
What this engagement covers
Backup & Disaster Recovery covers the named data sources and workloads, their backup jobs, retention, protected copies, restore testing and documented recovery sequence. Recovery objectives are set by business impact, then matched to a design that can be tested rather than inferred from a successful-job indicator.
What you receive
Configured, separated copies
Automated jobs, off-source retention and agreed immutability or access separation reduce the chance that one failure or compromised account reaches every copy.
Restore evidence and runbooks
Scheduled test results, exceptions and step-by-step recovery procedures show what was restored, how long it took and what must improve.
Delivery
How this service is delivered
-
Classify what must recover
Systems and data are ranked by business impact, acceptable data loss, restore order and the infrastructure or credentials needed to bring them back.
-
Configure and verify protection
Jobs, retention, encryption, access separation and alerting are established, followed by an initial restore that checks more than job completion.
-
Test on a defined schedule
Representative restores and recovery procedures are exercised, results are recorded, and changes in systems or business priorities feed back into the plan.
Best fit
When to choose this service
- The only copy is local, attached to the source, or controlled by the same credentials as production.
- Backups report success but no one can show a recent restore or the time it required.
- Ransomware, insurer or customer requirements call for separated or immutable recovery copies.
- Different systems have different downtime consequences but all are covered by one untested assumption.
