Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backups that have never been restored are not backups, they are hopes. We design and implement backup and disaster recovery strategies with defined RPO/RTO targets and regularly tested recovery procedures.
// Key benefits
What makes this service valuable
Defined RPO and RTO targets
Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective are defined for each system component, determining backup frequency, retention, and recovery infrastructure requirements.
Tested recovery procedures
We run regular recovery drills, quarterly at minimum, documenting actual recovery times against RTO targets and identifying any gaps before a real incident.
Multi-region replication
For mission-critical systems, cross-region replication of data and infrastructure configuration enables recovery in an alternative region within defined RTO windows.
// Details
Recovery you have actually tested
Disaster recovery planning is only valuable if it has been tested. A backup strategy that has never been exercised is a compliance checkbox, not a business protection measure.
We design DR strategies with explicit RPO and RTO targets, implement the infrastructure, and execute recovery drills that produce evidence that recovery actually works within target timeframes.
// What this includes
- RPO and RTO requirement definition
- Database backup strategy (RDS snapshots, WAL archiving)
- File and object storage backup
- Infrastructure state backup (IaC)
- Cross-region replication for critical systems
- Recovery runbook documentation
- Quarterly recovery drill execution
// Deliverables
What you receive
Every engagement produces clear, documented deliverables. Here is exactly what is included in our backup & disaster recovery service.
- 01DR strategy document with RPO/RTO targets
- 02Backup implementation and configuration
- 03Cross-region replication setup (if required)
- 04Recovery runbook and procedures
- 05Quarterly recovery drill report
// In practice
How backup & disaster recovery engagements run
Backups use AWS Backup, Velero for Kubernetes, or pg_dump schedules with encryption at rest; RPO/RTO targets are written and tested — restore drills to an isolated VPC quarterly, not slide-deck promises. Runbooks document who approves failover, how DNS switches, and how to validate data integrity post-restore.

// FAQ
Common questions about backup & disaster recovery
What is the difference between RPO and RTO?+
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data loss is acceptable, a 4-hour RPO means backups are taken every 4 hours. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how long recovery can take, a 2-hour RTO means the system must be back online within 2 hours of a disaster.
