Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our backup & disaster recovery services:
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
Keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different types of media, with 1 copy stored offsite or in the cloud. This protects against hardware failure, ransomware, and local disasters.
How often should we back up?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Critical systems often need hourly or continuous backup. Less critical data might be backed up daily. We help determine the right schedule for your business.
Are backups enough to protect against ransomware?
Good backups are essential, but they must be designed to resist ransomware. This means air-gapped or immutable backups that attackers cannot encrypt or delete. Standard backups alone are not enough.
How long does disaster recovery take?
Recovery time depends on your backup architecture and the scope of the disaster. With proper planning, critical systems can be restored in hours rather than days. We help you define and achieve your recovery objectives.
Do you test backups?
Yes. Regular backup testing is essential—backups that cannot be restored are worthless. We perform periodic test restores and document the results.
