Backup and Disaster Recovery
With a good backup and disaster recovery plan, if the worst happens you get back up fast: isolated, tested and documented copies, with defined recovery times.
Backup and disaster recovery: a backup must be tested.
Together we define how long you can afford to be down (RTO) and how much data you can afford to lose (RPO). On that basis we design on-site, off-site and cloud backups.
We schedule regular restore tests and document the procedures, so in an emergency you know exactly what to do.
Backup and disaster recovery: RTO and RPO explained.
A backup and disaster recovery plan answers two simple questions. How long can the business be down (RTO)? How much data can you afford to lose (RPO)? These answers decide how often copies are made, which media to use and in what order servers and services are restored.
Today the 3-2-1 rule is still the basis: three copies, on two different media, one of them off-site. However, against ransomware you also need an immutable copy or one disconnected from the network. Also, restores must be tested: many companies find out that the backup does not work on the very day they need it. To learn more, read the ENISA guidance on business continuity.
Our backup and disaster recovery service works together with ransomware defence. If you have already lost files, see our recovery service for drives and NAS.

Backup and disaster recovery: questions.
No: if the NAS can be reached from the network, ransomware can encrypt it. You need at least one isolated or off-site copy.
We recommend at least one test per quarter and one after every major change.
