Disaster Recovery · Continuity Planning
Recovery you have already tested.
A backup nobody has restored is a hope, not a plan. We work out what your business cannot lose, design recovery to match, and drill it until it works. A service on its own, or alongside our infrastructure work.
What a DR program covers
From "we have backups" to "we can recover."
Disaster recovery is not a product you buy. It is a set of decisions, systems, and habits. We cover all of it, and build on the infrastructure you already run.
Business impact analysis
Which systems matter, what depends on what, and what an hour of downtime or a day of lost data actually costs. The plan is built on that, not on a template.
RTO & RPO, defined
Recovery time and recovery point objectives agreed per system with the business, then designed for. Targets you can meet, written down and signed off.
Backup strategy
3-2-1 as the baseline: multiple copies, different media, one offsite. Immutable and offline copies where they count, retention that fits your obligations, and restores that are actually tested.
DR architecture
Cold, warm, or hot standby. Multi-site, cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. Database and storage replication, Kubernetes cluster and workload recovery. Sized to the RTO, not to the sales pitch.
Runbooks & DR drills
Step-by-step recovery runbooks your team can follow under pressure. Tabletop exercises and live failover drills that prove the plan works before you need it.
Ransomware readiness
Backups the attacker cannot reach or encrypt, isolated recovery paths, credential and access hardening, and a rehearsed plan for rebuilding clean.
Incident response hand-off
Clear lines between security incident response and recovery: who declares, who decides, when forensics hands the environment back, and how restores begin.
Ongoing DR as a service
Scheduled restore tests, drill cadence, plan updates as systems change, and reporting. Delivered directly or white-label through MSP partners.
RTO and RPO, on one timeline
Two numbers decide your whole DR design.
How much data you can lose, and how long you can be down. Everything else (backup frequency, replication, standby sites, runbook detail) follows from them.
DR architecture
Where recovery lives in the platform.
Backups and a recovery site are part of the architecture, not an afterthought bolted onto it. Sized to the RTO and RPO, not to the sales pitch.
Engagement path
Assess. Plan. Implement. Test. Maintain.
Start wherever you are. Some clients need the full path; others have a plan that has never been tested, or backups with no plan around them.
- 01
Assess
Inventory systems and dependencies, run the business impact analysis, test what recovery looks like today.
- 02
Plan
Set RTO and RPO per system, choose the architecture, write the plan and the runbooks.
- 03
Implement
Build the backups, replication, standby environments, and monitoring the plan calls for.
- 04
Test
Restore tests, tabletop exercises, and failover drills. Fix every gap they find.
- 05
Maintain
Keep the plan current as systems change. Re-test on a schedule, report the results.
Emergency recovery
Already had the disaster?
Failed storage, a botched migration, a deleted database, ransomware, a platform that will not come back up. Call us. Recovering broken systems is what we have done for twenty years: we triage, work out what can be recovered and from where, restore in order of business priority, and then help you make sure it does not happen the same way twice.
For MSP partners
DR your clients can count on,
under your brand.
We design, build, and test DR for MSP clients white-label: business impact analysis, architecture, runbooks, and scheduled drills, handed to your team to operate. Or we run the ongoing testing and reporting for you. About MSP partnerships →
When did you last restore from backup?
If the answer is "not sure," start there. Tell us what you run and we will tell you honestly where the recovery gaps are.
