Check the gaps in backup coverage

Start with the information and systems the business depends on. Files on a server, laptops, cloud services and specialist applications may have different protection arrangements. We review where data is held, which backups exist and whether those arrangements match how the team now works.

  • Identify systems and information that need protection
  • Review backup destinations, retention and access
  • Check who receives and acts on failure alerts
  • Record exclusions and unresolved risks

Agree what recovery needs to achieve

Not every system has the same urgency. Discuss which services the business needs first, how much recent work it could afford to lose and how long it could operate without access. These requirements guide the design and budget. Specific recovery times are agreed after assessment, not promised by a general website page.

Test restoration, not just backup completion

A useful test checks whether the required data can be restored and used. The scope may range from a sample file to a planned application or system recovery. Access, dependencies and available equipment can all affect the result. We help plan appropriate checks, record what happened and identify changes needed before a real incident.

Keep the recovery plan usable

The plan should explain who is responsible, how to reach key suppliers and where the instructions are held. Recovery credentials need secure handling, and the plan needs to remain available if normal systems are unavailable. Review it when applications, sites, users or suppliers change.

Separate backup from data recovery

Backup planning protects future recovery options. Recovering information from a failed or damaged device is a different task and success cannot be assumed. If data has already been lost, explain the situation before attempting changes that could overwrite it. We can discuss the appropriate next step through our data recovery service.

Your backup & disaster recovery questions

Does cloud storage mean everything is backed up?

Cloud services have their own retention and recovery behaviour. We review those settings and any separate backup arrangement against the business requirements rather than assuming they are sufficient.

How often should we test recovery?

The schedule depends on the systems, their importance and how often they change. Agree a test scope and review it after significant changes.

Can you promise a recovery time?

A specific target needs assessment of the systems, backup method and dependencies. It should be documented in the agreed scope.
