Disaster Recovery

CLOUD SERVICES

Recovery you have rehearsed, not just backups you hope work.

We design business continuity and disaster recovery architecture—backups, recovery objectives, high availability and recovery testing—around what your business cannot afford to lose.

Who it’s for
Organisations whose operations depend on systems and data that must be recoverable after outages, errors or incidents.
Practical outcome
Agreed recovery objectives, an implemented recovery approach and a tested runbook.

Situations we often see

01

Backups exist but have never been restored

There is no evidence the business can actually recover within an acceptable time.

02

Recovery objectives were never agreed

IT and management may have very different expectations of how long recovery takes.

03

Single location or single region

Power, connectivity or site problems can affect primary systems and backups together.

04

Recovery depends on one person

If key staff are unavailable, recovery steps may be unclear.

Frequently asked questions

Is backup the same as disaster recovery?

No. Backup is one component. Disaster recovery covers objectives, procedures, people and testing so you can actually restore operations.

What are RTO and RPO?

Recovery Time Objective is how quickly a system must be back; Recovery Point Objective is how much recent data you can afford to lose.

Will testing disrupt operations?

Tests are planned in agreed windows and usually restore into an isolated environment.

Are storage costs included?

No. Backup storage and replication charges from cloud providers are separate.

How is pricing set?

By the number of systems, objectives and testing frequency. Final scope and pricing are confirmed before invoicing.
