Backups and Recovery

Backup and recovery is the work of taking regular copies of a live system and, critically, testing that they restore. An untested backup is a hope rather than a plan, and the difference only shows up on the worst day.

Let's Talk

What changes for you.

Backups that actually restore

A backup nobody has restored is a hope, and the day you find out is the worst possible day to find out.

A bad day stays a bad day

The difference between an incident and a disaster is usually whether recovery worked.

You know how long recovery takes

A tested figure lets the business plan around it instead of guessing in the middle of the event.

Mistakes stay reversible

Most restores are not attacks, they are somebody deleting the wrong thing.

The difference it makes.

Without tested backups

Backups run, but nobody has ever restored one
Recovery time is unknown until you need it
An accidental deletion is effectively permanent
The first real restore happens during the crisis
Coverage is assumed rather than checked

With Stepping Stone Partners

Restores are tested, not assumed
You know how long recovery actually takes
Accidental deletions are reversible
The process is rehearsed before it is needed
Coverage is verified against what matters

Where this fits.

This is one part of our maintenance and support work. Engagements rarely stay in one box: a platform rollout turns into something custom, and both then need looking after. That is why our software development and implementation practice treats implementation, custom development, and ongoing support as one continuous piece of work rather than three separate vendors.

Tell us what needs looking after.
