How we build
How we approach backup & DR
A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. Many companies find out their backups were incomplete on the day they need them.

We agree recovery targets with you for each system, set up backups and failover to match, keep copies away from the systems they protect, and run restore tests on a schedule with the results written down.

What we deliver
Capabilities
Recovery targets
For each system, how much data you can afford to lose and how quickly it must be back.
Automated backups
Databases, files and configuration backed up automatically to match those targets.
Off-site and cross-region copies
Copies kept in a separate location or region, protected from accidental or malicious deletion.
Failover plans
Step-by-step recovery runbooks for the systems the business cannot run without.
Scheduled restore tests
Restores tested regularly, with the time taken and any problems recorded.
Backup monitoring
Alerts when a backup fails or is missed, so it is fixed the same day.

Engineering standards
How we build, compared with the usual shortcut
Backups stored on the same server as the data they protect.
Copies kept off-site or in another region, protected from deletion.
Assuming backups work because the job reports success.
Restore tests on a schedule, with the results written down.
Do you cover systems that are not in the cloud?
Yes. Office servers and on-premises databases can be backed up to the cloud, which is often the first step towards moving them.
How often do you test restores?
We agree the schedule with you based on how critical each system is, and record every test.
