Back to Secure IT

A backup only counts once the restore works

We check what your backup actually covers, close the gaps and rehearse the recovery before it is needed, with a documented order and measured timings.

30 minutes · no sales pitch · an honest read on whether we fit

A fit when

  • Your restore has never been tested end to end
  • You have to evidence recovery times for an audit or an insurer
  • Microsoft 365 is not properly covered in the backup concept
  • After a ransomware scare you want to know whether you could actually come back

The situation

  • The restore was never tested end to end, only individual files.
  • Microsoft 365 data counts as backed up, though nobody checked what the provider actually retains.
  • There is no recovery order, so in a real incident everyone starts somewhere different.
  • The backup is reachable from the same network as production.

What we do

We start from the recovery, not the backup: which systems must run again in which order, how long that may take, and how much data loss is acceptable. That determines what gets backed up, how often and to where. Then we rehearse the real case on an actual system and record the measured timings in recovery documentation your team can read under pressure.

What is included

  • 01Recovery targets per systemAcceptable downtime and acceptable data loss, agreed together with the business owners.
  • 02Coverage checkWhat is genuinely backed up today, including Microsoft 365, endpoints and what falls between systems.
  • 03Separated retentionCopies an attacker with production access cannot delete along the way.
  • 04Rehearsal with measurementRestoring a real system, measuring the timings, and correcting what the measurement reveals.
