Most businesses think they are covered because they have backups. But a backup you have never tested, with no plan for how to restore, is a false sense of security. A real disaster-recovery (DR) plan answers two questions: how much data can you afford to lose, and how fast do you need to be back up?
Define your RPO and RTO
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data loss is acceptable — an hour? a day? RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you must be operational. These two numbers drive every other decision and cost.
Follow the 3-2-1 rule
Keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media, with 1 off-site (cloud). Ransomware that hits your network should never be able to reach all three.
Test your restores
The only backup that counts is one you have restored successfully. Schedule regular restore drills — most "backup failures" are discovered during a real emergency, which is the worst time.
Write it down
Document who does what, in what order, with what credentials. During an outage, people are stressed; a clear runbook removes guesswork.
We design, implement, and regularly test backup and disaster-recovery plans so you are genuinely covered — not just hopeful.
