Security & data
Backup & recovery
A backup is only worth something if the data can actually be restored in an emergency. We plan backups that fit your data and workflows, monitor them and regularly test the recovery.
Typical situations
When this is worth it for you.
Sound familiar? Then get in touch. We look at your situation and make a concrete proposal.
- You are not sure whether your data could be recovered after a hardware failure or malware.
- The backup is written to an external hard drive that is permanently connected.
- Nobody has ever tried how long a restore would take.
Our approach
What we actually do for you.
Backup concept
What is backed up, how often, how long it is kept and how quickly it must be available again: we define this together.
Several copies
Backups in separate locations, so that a defect, malware or water damage cannot hit all copies at once.
Servers and virtual machines
Backups of complete servers and virtual machines, so that not only files but entire systems can be restored.
Monitoring
Failed or missing backups are reported and dealt with instead of going unnoticed.
Restore tests
We regularly perform test restores and document the procedure for an emergency.
Depending on the environment, we use established solutions such as Synology NAS systems, Acronis, NovaStor or the backup functions of Proxmox. Which solution fits depends on the amount of data, the systems and the budget.
Backup or recovery: what really matters
What counts is not that a backup runs, but how quickly you can get back to work after an outage and how much data you could afford to lose. These two questions determine how often backups are taken and where the copies are kept.
Data backup is closely linked to IT security and is checked continuously with monitoring.
Your benefits
Advantages for your business.
Your data back when it matters
Tested backups show in advance that, and how quickly, data and systems can be restored.
Protection against ransomware
Copies stored separately remain available even if malware hits the network.
No flying blind
Failed backups are noticed immediately and dealt with.
Approach
How we work.
- 01
Record data and systems
Where is which data stored, and which systems are essential for your operations?
- 02
Define the concept
Recovery objectives, schedule, retention and separate copies, aligned with your budget.
- 03
Set up and monitor
The backups are set up and their results are checked continuously.
- 04
Test recovery
Regular tests show that restoring works and how long it takes.
Already a client with an issue?
The fastest way to report technical problems is a support ticket. Nothing gets lost and you can see the processing status.
FAQ
Good to know.
What does the 3-2-1 rule mean?
A common rule of thumb: three copies of your data, on two different storage media, one of them in another location. In addition, at least one copy should not be permanently connected to the network or should be protected against modification.
Is cloud sync such as OneDrive or Dropbox enough as a backup?
Usually not on its own. Synchronisation also transfers accidental deletions or encrypted files. It can be part of a concept, but it does not replace an independent backup with older versions.
How often should recovery be tested?
That depends on how important the data is. We recommend fixed dates, and at the very least a test after every major change to servers or backup software.
