Backup & Business Continuity Plan

Answer one question with confidence: if your main server died tonight, when would you be trading again?

Almost every business believes it has backups. Far fewer have ever tested a restore, and fewer still know how many hours of work they would lose or how long a full recovery would take.

This engagement establishes the real position. I verify what is actually being backed up, test whether it restores, and quantify your true recovery point and recovery time. Then we build a continuity plan that matches what your business can genuinely tolerate — not a theoretical ideal.

The deliverable includes a written recovery runbook, so a recovery does not depend on one person being reachable.

What you get

  • Verified restore test — proof your backups actually work
  • Measured recovery point and recovery time, stated in hours
  • Continuity plan matched to what your operations can tolerate
  • Written recovery runbook your team can follow without you

This is for you if

  • You have never actually tested restoring from a backup
  • Production or dispatch stops when a particular system goes down
  • Your recovery process lives in one person’s head

How it works

What happens during Backup & Business Continuity Plan

A defined sequence, so you know what to expect at every stage.

  1. 1

    Map what should be protected

    We identify the systems and data that actually stop the business if lost, and how much downtime each can genuinely tolerate.

  2. 2

    Verify what is really being backed up

    I check the current backup configuration against that list — this step alone regularly finds critical gaps nobody knew about.

  3. 3

    Test the restore, not just the backup

    A real restore is performed to a separate location and timed, so recovery point and recovery time are measured facts, not assumptions.

  4. 4

    Continuity plan & runbook

    A written recovery runbook your team can follow without you, matched to what your operations can genuinely tolerate.
