What this covers

Backup strategy design

A backup approach matched to your actual recovery needs — what has to come back in hours versus what can wait days.

Disaster recovery planning

A documented, specific plan for what happens during an outage or ransomware event, so the response isn't improvised.

Recovery testing

Regularly testing that backups and recovery procedures actually work, rather than assuming they do.

Recovery time commitments

Clear expectations for how quickly different systems can realistically be restored.

Why it matters

An untested backup is a hope, not a plan. The organizations that recover quickly from ransomware or hardware failure are almost always the ones who tested their recovery process before they needed it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

At minimum annually, though more frequent testing is recommended for critical systems.

With a tested plan in place, critical systems can often be restored within hours rather than days — the gap without one is significant.
