Backup and Business Continuity

Backup planning, restore testing, recovery documentation, and practical preparation for outages, mistakes, and security incidents.

Business outcome

Know what is protected, how recovery works, and who is responsible when something goes wrong.

Common problems this service addresses

  • Backups exist but restores have not been tested
  • Microsoft 365 data protection is assumed rather than confirmed
  • Recovery priorities are not aligned with business operations
  • Critical vendor and account information is undocumented
  • The business has no clear outage or incident communication plan
  • Recovery responsibilities are split across several providers

Typical scope

What the work can include

The final scope depends on the current environment, business priorities, existing vendors, and the responsibilities defined in writing.

Endpoint, server, and Microsoft 365 backup planning
Restore testing and recovery verification
Recovery objectives and responsibility mapping
Business-continuity and disaster-recovery documentation
Recovery planning for vendors and line-of-business systems
Documented backup coverage and known gaps
Restore-test schedule and evidence of results
Recovery objectives for important systems and data
Business-continuity contacts, dependencies, and manual workarounds

Scope and responsibility matter

A backup is not a recovery guarantee. Scope should define what is protected, retention, restore testing, recovery targets, exclusions, internet and vendor dependencies, and the customer decisions required during an outage.

Proposals and service agreements should identify included services, support hours, exclusions, customer responsibilities, third-party dependencies, and how changes are approved.
