Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backup strategies, restore testing, and DR patterns matched to real RPO/RTO goals.
Backup and disaster recovery work that starts from honest recovery objectives. We design backup schedules, retention, offsite copies, and restore drills so you know what can be recovered—and how long it actually takes—before you need it.

Who it’s for
- • Teams with backups that have never been restore-tested
- • Companies defining RPO/RTO for critical systems
- • Ops leads needing offsite and ransomware-resilient copies
Problems we address
- • Backups run but restores are unverified
- • RPO/RTO targets exist on paper without a technical plan
- • Critical data lacks offsite or immutable copies
Expected outcomes
- • Backup design tied to stated RPO/RTO
- • Automated backups with monitored failure alerts
- • Scheduled restore tests with documented results

FAQ
No honest provider can. We design toward agreed RPO/RTO targets and verify with restore tests; continuous replication can reduce RPO when the system supports it.
Related but different. HA reduces downtime from common failures; DR covers larger loss scenarios like region or account-level events.
