What a backup and recovery design covers
Backup strategy & coverage
What gets backed up, how often, and where the gaps are today.
Retention & recovery objectives
How far back you can go, and how fast you need to be running again.
Immutability & security
Backups kept in immutable storage, designed so a deletion or ransomware event can't quietly erase them.
Restore testing
Proving recovery actually works, before you ever need it.
Licensing & renewals
Seat changes, renewals, and one local point of contact for the vendor.
Monitoring & alerts
Failure alerting configured at setup, so a failed backup reaches your team instead of going unnoticed.
When this applies
01
You've assumed your cloud data is backed up, but you've never tested a restore.
02
You're offboarding an employee whose account holds data you can't lose.
03
You had a close call: an accidental deletion, a ransomware scare, a file recovered at the last minute.
04
A cyber-insurance questionnaire or a client contract just asked hard questions about your backups.
05
You inherited an environment and nobody can say what's backed up, or where.
06
You need to keep records for years, but your cloud platform only retains deleted data for days.
