NINE AREAS

Servers, Backup & Disaster Recovery

We cover servers, central storage, backup and disaster recovery as one whole. We size against real workload, set RTO and RPO in writing, and run a restore test. The question is not whether you take backups: it is whether they have been tested under realistic conditions.

What sets us apart

No server leaves our hands without backup running and monitoring enabled. And no recovery plan counts as finished until its real duration has been measured in a test.

Almost every business takes backups. Far fewer can answer how quickly they come back and how many hours of work they would lose, and very few have tested it in practice.

So we work backwards: the RTO and RPO targets are agreed in writing per system first, and the solution is designed to meet them. The first restore test produces the number management actually cares about: how long it took.

Who it is for

  • Businesses with ERP or an application requiring a local server
  • Companies whose backup has never been tested
  • Organisations with large file volumes such as drawings or video
  • Boards wanting a written answer on how fast they recover

Technology and equipment

  • Veeam
  • Synology
  • Proxmox
  • Windows Server
  • Microsoft 365

Frequently asked questions

What do RTO and RPO mean?

RTO is how long you can be out of operation. RPO is how many hours of work you can afford to lose. You set them per system, and they determine the solution and the cost.

Is a NAS a backup?

No. Drive redundancy protects against a failed drive, not against deletion, ransomware or fire. Every central store needs its own offsite copy.

Does Microsoft 365 take backups?

Not in the way a business means it. Microsoft guarantees service availability, not recovery of data deleted months ago or encrypted. Tenant backup is a separate service.

How long does a server or NAS installation take?

Typically 2 to 5 days, subject to hardware availability. Backup and disaster recovery implementation takes a further 1 to 2 weeks, including the first restore test.
