- Critical systems and restoration order are not defined.
- The recovery plan exists only in individuals' knowledge.

Backup & Business Continuity: Backup creates value only when it proves that the business can recover.
We connect backups, recovery priorities, responsibilities and testing in a plan that shows what is restored, in what order and within which agreed targets.
Move from assuming backup works to proving recovery works.
Clear recovery prioritiesA documented procedureRegularly tested recovery
WHEN THIS SERVICE MAKES SENSE
When backup exists but there is no reliable proof that recovery works.
- An inventory of critical data and systems
- Agreed data-loss and recovery-time targets
- A documented and completed recovery test
Before starting: Copy and testing frequency reflect system criticality. A green backup status is not accepted as proof of recovery.
Systems, data, copy frequency, retention, monitoring and tests listed in scope.
DR infrastructure, identical RPO/RTO for every system and 24/7 coverage are not assumed.
Business criticality, data owners and business confirmation of recovery-test results.
WHAT YOU GET
From copy architecture to a documented recovery test.
Backup architecture
Copies and policies aligned with the criticality of data and systems.
Replication
An additional layer for scenarios where one copy is not enough.
Recovery plan
Sequence, dependencies, owners and agreed objectives.
Recovery testing
Controlled verification that data and services can actually be restored.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Choose the Backup & Business Continuity framework that is closest to your environment.
These are working frameworks, not a fixed proposal. Your team can update the exact inclusions, service hours and SLA after the environment review.

HOW WE START
We build backup and recovery around business criticality.
We classify systems, set recovery objectives and verify them through a controlled exercise.
Classify systems
What is critical, how much data may be lost and how long an interruption may last.
Design the protection
Copy policies, locations, retention, access and replication.
Test recovery
Documented restoration and correction of weak points before an incident.
BACKUP & BUSINESS CONTINUITY · INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Check how ready the recovery plan really is.
Share the critical systems, most recent recovery test and interruption the business can tolerate.
“They particularly highlight protection of critical IT infrastructure, data security, fast threat response and a more flexible cost model.”

What to confirm before designing backup and recovery.
01Does a successful backup mean successful recovery?+
Not necessarily. Data and dependent services must be restored in controlled conditions.
02Should every system use the same policy?+
No. Policies depend on criticality, data change and acceptable interruption.
03How often should recovery be tested?+
Frequency depends on system criticality and the agreed continuity model.
04How is the service package selected?+
We use the user count, locations, systems, support hours, monitoring, escalation and required SLA to select the closest framework. The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the environment.
05Can the service start with a smaller scope?+
Yes. We can begin with the users, systems or locations creating the most pressure and expand after the operating model is proven.
