Let’s talk Technology expertise / Resilience & Recovery
When disruption happens, what needs to come back first? Shape backup and recovery around the systems your business depends on, the data you can afford to lose and the time you can afford to be without them.
01 / Ready for disruption
Protecting data and restoring a working service are different tasks. We help connect backup choices with workload dependencies, recovery priorities and agreed responsibilities, so the plan considers what your people need to resume work.
Identify critical workloads and the services they rely on. Agree a recovery order, a target time to restore each service and how much recent data loss the business could tolerate.
Critical workloads · Dependencies · Recovery objectives
Choose backup frequency, retention and storage around the information being protected. Consider access controls, separation of backup copies and Azure-native options where they fit the environment.
Backup · Retention · Copy separation · Azure-native options
Plan where systems will be restored, what capacity and connectivity they need, and who can authorise the work. Include the access, configuration and application dependencies needed to make restored data useful.
Restore sequence · Recovery environment · Access · Ownership
Agree restore exercises that are appropriate for the services in scope. Record what worked, what took longer than expected and what needs to change before the next review.
Restore testing · Validation · Documented improvements
02 / The partnership
Recovery involves people as well as technology. Your IT leadership and in-house specialists set the priorities; we work alongside them on the agreed technical scope, recovery process and review plan.
Identify essential services, acceptable disruption and the dependencies that determine recovery order.
Match backup and recovery options to the workloads, objectives and available resources.
Document responsibilities and plan a restore exercise with clear validation criteria.
Review the agreed protection when workloads, people, locations or business priorities change.
Clear responsibilities
Recovery objectives are design targets, not automatic guarantees. Backup coverage, retention, restore testing, support availability and recovery assistance are agreed in your service scope. Your team owns business continuity decisions and confirms that restored applications meet business needs; technical recovery depends on the selected solution, available infrastructure and condition of the data.
Your next decision
An untested backup. A critical application. A recovery plan that has fallen behind the business. Let’s work through the priorities.
