Backups and recovery: plan the return to work

We help plan information backups across servers, NAS and data-centre environments. The goal is not just copying data: it is defining what you need to recover and under which conditions.

Backups

The problem this addresses

A copied file does not prove that an application can be restored. The strategy must consider data, required configuration and how long the business can wait.

What we can assess with you

What to protect

Identify priority information and systems to define what is included and what is excluded.

Where to keep it

Servers, NAS and data-centre storage are catalogue options. Location and capacity are selected for the project.

How to recover

Agree frequency, retention and restoration reviews. Recovery depends on valid, available copies.

How we approach the work

  1. Prioritise information

    Identify critical data, owners and system dependencies.

  2. Define the policy

    Agree frequency, retention, storage and follow-up responsibilities.

  3. Review recovery

    Define how to request a restoration and which validation steps the service covers.

Scope before you commit

Tell us data volumes, systems, daily changes and retention needs. Restorations, tests, extra capacity and monitoring must be expressly included or excluded.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee recovery of any data?

No. Recovery depends on a valid copy and the contracted scope. No strategy should be presented as infallible.

What are RPO and RTO?

RPO describes the amount of data loss acceptable in time; RTO is the target time to restore service. These objectives need assessment and agreement, not universal figures.

Is redundancy the same as a backup?

No. Redundancy supports availability; a backup retains a copy for recovery under specified conditions.
