Backup and Disaster Recovery — The Basics Done Properly
The backup you have not tested is a hope, not a plan. Here is what SMEs should verify.
Ransomware, fire, theft or a simple failed drive — recovery depends on backups you can actually restore, not just schedules that ran.
- Know what is backed up (files, email, databases, cloud SaaS)
- Test restores quarterly — not annually on a spreadsheet
- Keep off-site or immutable copies ransomware cannot encrypt
- Document who restores what and how long it should take
We design backup plans through IT support and hosting. Ask for a review.
