Backup and Disaster Recovery

Cloud backup, replication, and disaster recovery for virtualized workloads, servers, databases, and collaboration suites, focused on dependable recovery and ransomware resilience.

Scope

We structure cloud backup and disaster recovery services for virtualized workloads, physical servers, operating systems, databases, and collaboration suites. The goal is to reduce data-loss windows, accelerate recovery, and combine retention, immutability, replication, and runbooks into a practical continuity strategy.

When this service makes sense
  • The company is not sure it can restore critical systems.
  • Backups exist, but there are no regular recovery tests.
  • Retention, immutability, or off-site copies must be implemented.
  • Replication to a secondary site is required.

When this service makes sense

The company is not sure it can restore critical systems.

Backups exist, but there are no regular recovery tests.

Retention, immutability, or off-site copies must be implemented.

Replication to a secondary site is required.

The environment needs defined RTO, RPO, and recovery priorities.

How we work

Execution combines technical design, validation, and documentation to reduce rollout risk and support later operations.

01

Assess workloads, windows, retention policies, and business priorities.

02

Design the backup, replication, and immutability strategy.

03

Plan restore flows, secondary site usage, and validation criteria.

04

Execute with recovery testing and operating adjustments.

05

Document runbooks, priorities, and recovery procedures.

What we deliver

01

Backup policy design, retention, and off-site copy strategy.

02

Immutability and ransomware protection strategy.

03

Replication planning and secondary site recovery design.

04

Restore testing with documented validation criteria.

05

RTO and RPO definition by service or workload.

06

Recovery runbooks and operational documentation.

Technologies and integrations

Based on Veeam official documentation, we work with protection for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Windows, Linux, and NAS workloads, as well as applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. The strategy may also include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, replication of critical machines, and immutable repositories.

Expected outcomes

The outcomes below are expressed as operational and governance criteria typically pursued in this kind of engagement. The final design depends on the environment, constraints, and depth of the work.

Protection strategy with retention, offsite copy, and 3-2-1-1 scenarios where they fit the environment.
RTO and RPO defined by service, not only by tool, improving recovery prioritization.
Restores validated with procedure, evidence, and runbook, reducing uncertainty during critical events.
Stronger immutability and operational segregation against accidental deletion and ransomware.
Recovery treated as a continuous operational process instead of a forgotten configuration.

References handled under confidentiality

In many engagements, topology details, volumes, integrations, and timelines remain under contractual confidentiality. Even so, the delivery pattern is consistent across critical environments like these.

Operations with restricted change windows

Projects where rollout, migration, or recovery must be executed with risk control, validation, and formal documentation.

Environments with multiple integration layers

Scenarios where networking, virtualization, storage, backup, observability, and access policies need to evolve in a coordinated way.

Infrastructure that demands governance

Work where architecture, segmentation, operational traceability, and technical handover matter as much as the implementation itself.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions that usually come up before a deeper environment assessment starts.

Does having backups mean we already have disaster recovery?

No. Backup is only one layer. Disaster recovery also involves priorities, dependencies, testing, runbooks, and recovery criteria per service.

Is immutability necessary in every environment?

Not always in the same form, but critical environments usually benefit from at least one protected retention layer against improper change or deletion.

Do you help test restores in practice?

Yes. Restore validation is part of the engagement when the goal is to turn backup into actual recovery capability.
