When does a backup need to be tidied up?
Problems we help solve
Backup is effective only when you know what is copied, how long it is stored, who responds to an error and how long it will take to restore the company's operation after a failure.
- Copies are made, but no one regularly tests the restore.
- It's unclear which data is critical and how quickly it needs to come back.
- The backup is in the same place as the production data.
- Microsoft 365 is treated as a full backup, even though it is not.
- After a failure, there is no procedure, no sequence of actions and no responsible person.
Fit
Who is this service for?
Companies with local servers
We secure virtual machines, files, databases and service configuration.
Companies using the cloud
We select copies for Microsoft 365, cloud resources and hybrid environments.
Companies after the incident
We help you rebuild control after a disaster, data deletion or ransomware attack.
Companies before the audit
We prepare documentation of retention, tests and rules for storing copies.
Service scope
What does backup and recovery cover?
Data analysis
We determine what needs to be protected and how quickly the company must return to work.
- servers, files, databases and email,
- RPO and RTO priorities,
- risk of data loss or encryption.
Copy design
We choose the method of making and storing backups.
- local and external copies,
- retention and versioning,
- separation of copies from the production environment.
Recovery tests
We check whether it is possible to realistically recover data and the service from the copy.
- restoring files and folders,
- VM, database or mailbox recovery test,
- a report documenting the test result.
Monitoring and procedures
We determine who responds to errors and what work looks like during a failure.
- alerts about failed copies,
- recovery procedures,
- scope reviews and updates.
Outcomes
What will you receive?
- a clear list of data covered by the copy and their priorities,
- backup schedule and retention rules,
- confirmed by testing of recovery procedures,
- alerts and reaction to failed copies,
- documentation useful in the event of failure and audit.
A well-designed backup limits downtime and reduces the risk that a technical failure will turn into a business problem.
Delivery approach
How is the service delivered?
- Discovery. We establish data, systems and expected return time.
- Project. We select copy locations, retention and tools.
- Implementation. We configure backup tasks and alerts.
- Test. We recreate selected data in a controlled scenario.
- Procedure. We describe the sequence of actions in the event of a failure.
- Maintenance. We monitor the results and update the copy scope.
Security standards
How do we reduce risk?
- We don't assume a copy works until it's tested.
- We separate copies from accounts and resources used every day.
- We include the scenario of data deletion, hardware failure and ransomware.
- We document priorities so that we do not waste time on decisions during a failure.
- We regularly review copy coverage as the company changes.
Cost
What determines the price?
The price depends on the amount of data, the number of servers and mailboxes, the required recovery and retention time, copy location, tool licences and the scope of monitoring and testing.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Microsoft 365 require a separate backup?
In many companies, yes. Microsoft ensures service availability, but an independent copy helps with data deletion, user errors, and longer retention.
How often do you need to test recovery?
Depends on the criticality of the data. For important systems, it is worth performing tests periodically and after major changes.
Does backup protect against ransomware?
It helps if it is properly separated, monitored and tested. Just a copy on the same network may not be enough.
Can only selected data be backed up?
Yes, but the choice should be based on business priorities, not solely on available space.
Will you prepare recovery procedures?
Yes. The procedure is part of a well-run backup, because during a failure, the sequence of actions is important.
