Backup & DR

Backups that have never been tested aren’t really backups, they’re a hope. I set up backup coverage and disaster recovery plans that are actually verified to work, so if something breaks, the recovery is routine instead of a crisis.

What this covers

Backup configuration Coverage for M365 data (mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive), servers, and critical files, with retention set to match how long you actually need that data recoverable.

Disaster recovery planning A documented recovery plan with defined recovery time and recovery point objectives, so everyone knows what happens and how fast if the worst occurs.

Recovery testing Periodic test restores, because a backup nobody has ever restored from is a guess, not a plan.

Example engagements

• Setting up M365 backup coverage for a business that had none
• Building and testing a disaster recovery plan for critical business systems
• Running a recovery test that caught a gap before it mattered
