Resilient Backup & Disaster Recovery

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly a system must be back online after an incident. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data loss is acceptable, measured as the time between the last usable backup and the failure. We design your backup cadence and failover strategy to meet the targets each application actually requires.

It depends on your RPO. Transactional databases often use continuous or point-in-time backups for a near-zero RPO, while less critical workloads may use hourly or daily snapshots. We tier backup frequency by data criticality so you get the protection you need without over-paying for storage.

Cross-region replication copies your backups and snapshots to a geographically separate region, and often a separate account. This protects you against region-wide outages, accidental deletion, and account compromise. Without it, a single failure domain can take out both your production data and its only backup.

We run scheduled recovery drills and automated restore tests that spin up your workloads from backups in an isolated environment, then measure actual recovery time and data integrity against your RTO and RPO. Testing is the only way to know a backup is truly recoverable before you need it.

Yes. We use immutable, write-once backups (such as object-lock and vault-lock policies), separate backup accounts with least-privilege access, and encryption at rest and in transit. Immutable copies cannot be altered or deleted by an attacker, even one with production credentials.

We protect workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, plus hybrid and on-premises systems. This includes virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes, managed and self-hosted databases, object and block storage, and SaaS data where supported.

A DR runbook is a documented, step-by-step procedure for recovering a system after failure, including who does what, in what order, and how success is verified. We version-control runbooks and automate the repeatable steps so recovery is fast, consistent, and not dependent on a single expert.

Cost depends on data volume, retention length, replication footprint, and how aggressive your RTO and RPO targets are. We right-size storage tiers and replication scope to balance resilience against spend, and we provide a clear estimate after a short assessment of your environment.
