Backup and continuity designed for real recovery
We design backup and recovery so restore procedures are documented and validated through tests. Your recovery targets and responsibilities are agreed in writing before implementation.
Recovery objectives are targets, not guarantees. Actual outcomes depend on dependencies, access, and the condition of systems at the time of recovery.
Documented runbooks
Restore steps are written, reviewed, and owned so recovery is repeatable.
Tested restore procedures
We run restore tests on an agreed cadence and record outcomes.
Retention and cost control
Retention policies and storage tiers are aligned to risk and budget.
Define what is protected and how recovery works
We start with an inventory and agree on recovery targets, retention, and responsibilities. Then we validate through testing.
Example recovery target table
| Workload | Target RPO | Target RTO | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email and collaboration | 4 hours | 8 hours | Restore test includes mailbox sampling |
| File shares | 24 hours | 24 hours | Retention based on business requirements |
| Line of business app | 1 hour | 6 hours | Dependencies mapped and validated |
Targets are validated by restore tests and are adjusted if dependencies or constraints require changes.

A restore test that proves recovery
A plan is only useful when it is tested. We document evidence and track follow ups.
Select scenario
Choose workloads and define success criteria for the test.
Validate dependencies
Confirm access, accounts, and prerequisites before starting.
Execute restore
Restore data or systems using the agreed procedure.
Report and improve
Record outcomes, gaps, and required changes to runbooks.
