Backup & Disaster Recovery
A comprehensive backup and recovery service delivering resilient architectures, automated operations, and application-aware protection to safeguard critical data. Includes robust retention, ransomware protection, and disaster recovery planning to ensure rapid recovery and business continuity.
Backup Strategy & Architecture
- Assessment of critical systems, applications, and data flows to define backup scope
- Design of resilient backup architectures across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments
- Implementation of appropriate backup methodologies depending on required granularity
Automated Backup Operations
- Policy-driven, scheduled backups with automated verification and reporting
- Centralised management of backup jobs, retention policies, and storage targets
- Proactive monitoring and alerting for failed, missed, or degraded backup activities
Application-Aware & Workload-Specific Backups
- Consistent, application-aware backups for critical platforms (databases, VMs, Microsoft 365)
- Granular recovery options ranging from file-level to OS-level
- Support for research and business-critical workloads with tailored protection strategies
Data Retention & Lifecycle Management
- Defining and enforcing retention policies aligned with organisational and legal requirements
- Long-term archiving solutions to support compliance and governance obligations
- Data classification guidance to prevent over-retention and optimise cost and risk posture
Ransomware Protection
- Hardened zero-trust backup environments using immutability and WORM controls
- Backup access controls and strict privilege separation to minimise blast radius
- Development and validation of recovery strategies for ransomware scenarios
Disaster Recovery Planning & Design
- Development of comprehensive DR strategies covering cyber incidents and site failures
- Defining Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO)
- Design of failover architectures (warm standby, active-passive, active-active)
