Data backup is simply making secure copies of your information. Disaster recovery is the full plan and process for getting your systems, applications, and data back online quickly after something goes wrong, whether it’s a cyber attack, hardware failure, or natural disaster.

It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Most businesses aim for daily backups as a minimum, while critical systems often need hourly or continuous backups to keep recovery point objectives (RPO) low.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you need systems back up and running. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you’re prepared to lose, in other words, how far back in time your last good backup should be.

Yes. Backups are only useful if they can actually be restored. We carry out regular recovery tests so you know your data can be recovered when you need it, not just that the backup job “succeeded”.

Yes. We provide immutable, ransomware-resistant backups. These copies can’t be altered or deleted by attackers, and AI-driven detection helps spot suspicious activity early, so you still have a clean recovery point even if your main systems are hit.

Recovery speed depends on the systems involved and the recovery plan we put in place. We design solutions around your specific RTO so downtime is kept as short as possible and your business can get back online fast.
