Backup & Recovery

3-2-1 backup, immutable snapshots, and DR plans that have actually been tested — not just designed.

A backup you've never restored from is not a backup. We design backup and disaster-recovery systems to your recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) — and then we exercise them on a schedule so we know they actually work.

How We Design

3-2-1 rule — three copies of every protected dataset, on two different media, with one copy off-site or off-network. Ransomware-resistant by construction.
Immutable snapshots — using restic, ZFS snapshots, or vendor-immutable cloud tiers (Azure Backup, AWS Backup Vault, etc.) so attackers can't delete history even with admin credentials.
Restore testing — quarterly full-restore drills on representative datasets. Verified hash + file-count + spot-check open. If it doesn't restore cleanly, we fix the backup design, not the test.
Disaster-recovery runbook — written, current, and exercised. Failover order, contact list, RTO assumptions, escalation tree. Not a binder.
Off-site replication — encrypted, deduplicated, throughput-shaped to fit your bandwidth without saturating production.

What We Avoid

Magic-button backup appliances that no one can audit. Tape rotation schedules from 2005. "We back up to a USB drive in the desk drawer" plans. Backup software that licenses by capacity but charges retroactively when you exceed.
