Solution 10
Recovery you have actually tested.
Backups designed around how quickly you need to recover and how much data you can afford to lose, proven with real restores on a regular schedule.
Service scope
- Backup strategy
- Cloud, server & database backup
- Disaster recovery planning
- Disaster recovery infrastructure
- Business continuity planning
- Recovery testing
- Data recovery
- Business resilience planning
The challenge
When did you last restore from your backups?
- Backups that have never been tested with a real restore
- No agreed recovery time or data loss targets
- No documented continuity plan for a major outage
- Uncertainty about what is backed up and where
Our approach
Defined targets, real restores, honest reporting.
We agree a Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective for each critical system, design backups to meet them, document the exact restore procedure and prove it with a real recovery test. Tests then run on a fixed schedule, and results are reported honestly, pass or fail.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Recovery Time Objective is how quickly a system must be back. Recovery Point Objective is how much recent data you can afford to lose. We agree both with you for each critical system.
At least annually, and ideally quarterly for critical systems. Every test is a real restore.
Sometimes, but every reduction changes what you would lose in an incident. We walk through the trade-off in terms of recovery time and data loss before any change.
Define RTO and RPO with your sign-off, design the backup strategy, implement backups and document the restore procedure, run a real recovery test, then schedule recurring tests and report the results every time.
