Backup and disaster recovery that protects your data and gets systems running again after failure, with restores that are actually tested.
About Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and technology to bring systems back after an outage, an error or an attack. Having one without testing the other leaves a false sense of safety.
The practical questions are how much data you can afford to lose and how long you can afford to be down. Those two answers shape the design, the cost and the schedule of tests.
What is included in Backup & Disaster Recovery
The typical building blocks. Scope is agreed with you in writing and tailored to your situation.
Recovery objectives
Agreed targets for acceptable data loss and downtime.
Backup design
What is backed up, how often, and where copies are kept.
Off-site and immutable copies
Protection against deletion and ransomware.
Recovery runbooks
Written steps anyone on the team can follow.
Restore testing
Regular practice restores that prove the backups work.
Monitoring

It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Critical systems may need frequent or continuous backups.
Replication copies changes immediately, including mistakes and malware. Backups keep earlier versions you can go back to.
