Protect Your Data. Guarantee Business Continuity.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the maximum acceptable time to restore a system or service after a failure — how long can your business tolerate being offline? RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time — how much data can you afford to lose? We design your backup architecture to meet your specific RTO and RPO targets, which vary by system criticality. Our managed service achieves RTO under 1 hour and RPO as low as 15 minutes.

We apply AES-256 encryption to all backup data both at rest and in transit. Access is controlled via role-based permissions with multi-factor authentication for administrative operations. Immutable backup policies (WORM — Write Once Read Many) prevent ransomware from modifying or deleting recovery copies. Customer-managed encryption keys are available for organisations requiring full data sovereignty. All key management practices follow NIST SP 800-57 guidance.

Incremental backups capture only changes since the last backup of any type — minimising storage and backup window duration, but requiring a chain of backup sets to restore. Differential backups capture all changes since the last full backup — requiring more storage but enabling simpler, faster restores needing only the full backup plus the latest differential. We choose the optimal strategy (or hybrid approach) based on your storage budget, backup window, and RTO requirements.

Continuous Data Protection captures and replicates every write operation in real time — creating a granular, always-current log of changes that allows recovery to any specific point in time, not just scheduled backup snapshots. This eliminates the data loss window between backup jobs, making CDP ideal for mission-critical databases, transactional systems, and workloads with near-zero RPO requirements. CDP typically achieves RPO of seconds or minutes compared to hours for traditional backups.

Yes — we deploy and manage cloud backup solutions across AWS S3 (with Glacier for cold storage), Azure Blob Storage (with Archive tier), and Google Cloud Storage. All cloud backups include geo-redundant storage across multiple availability zones, automated lifecycle policies for cost optimisation, immutable object locks to prevent ransomware deletion, automated integrity verification after every job, and cross-region failover capability for enterprise DR requirements.

DR planning begins with a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) quantifying the financial and operational impact of downtime per system — this drives recovery priority sequencing. We then create detailed DR runbooks covering every failure scenario with step-by-step recovery procedures, role assignments, escalation contacts, and clear go/no-go decision criteria. All runbooks are tested quarterly with documented results and updated after every infrastructure change to remain accurate.

We recommend a layered testing cadence: automated daily integrity checks for all backups (checksum validation and completeness verification); monthly partial restore tests for business-critical systems with documented pass/fail results; and full DR exercises quarterly covering complete system failover scenarios. Regular testing is the only way to confirm backups are genuinely recoverable — and we provide audit-ready test reports for compliance purposes after each exercise.

Our backup and recovery solutions are designed to satisfy the data protection requirements of GDPR (Article 32 — technical measures), HIPAA (45 CFR 164.308 — contingency plan), PCI-DSS Requirements 9.4 and 12.10, ISO 27001 Annex A.12.3, SOC 2 Common Criteria CC9.1, and NIST SP 800-34 (Contingency Planning Guide). We provide compliance-ready documentation including retention schedules, encryption evidence, access logs, and test results formatted for direct auditor submission.

Yes — we provide 24/7 managed backup monitoring for existing infrastructure including Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Acronis, Zerto, and native cloud backup services. Our NOC monitors all backup jobs in real time, raises instant failure alerts, applies automatic retry logic, and escalates unresolved failures to engineers within 30 minutes. Monthly management reports summarise backup health, storage consumption, job success rates, and any incidents with root-cause analysis.

Database replication maintains a live, synchronised copy of your database at a secondary site — providing instant failover capability with near-zero RTO. Unlike backups (which are point-in-time snapshots), replication reflects the current database state at all times. However, replication alone does not protect against logical corruption or accidental deletion — if you delete data on the primary, it replicates to the secondary instantly. The ideal architecture combines replication (for fast failover) with traditional backup (for point-in-time recovery).
