Tested backups, planned recovery

We design and document your backup and disaster-recovery plans, apply the 3-2-1 rule and run regular restore tests to prove your copies actually work.

The real risk

An untested backup is only a hope

Many businesses have a backup, but nobody has ever tried restoring from it. The copy often sits on the same server or on a disk in the same office, so a fire, a theft or a ransomware attack can wipe out everything at once. The gap only shows on the day the data is needed urgently.

InnovaTech works with you on a backup plan and a disaster-recovery plan, each documented step by step. We apply the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, on two types of media, one of them off-site. We keep offline or immutable copies against ransomware and test restores regularly, so you know the plan works.

What's included

Everything you need, from one team

One point of contact for all your IT, with documented work and clear reports.

  • 01

    Backup plan

    We define what is backed up, how often, how long copies are kept and who is responsible for them.

  • 02

    Disaster-recovery (DR) plan

    Documented steps to bring systems back after a failure, fire or attack: what is restored first and by whom.

  • 03

    The 3-2-1 rule

    Three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with at least one copy kept off-site.

  • 04

    Regular restore tests

    We periodically restore files and systems from the backups, record the result and fix any problem we find.

  • 05

    Ransomware protection

    Offline or immutable copies that an attack on your network cannot delete or encrypt.

What you gain

Confidence based on proof, not hope

  • 01

    Proven recovery

    Regular tests show that the copies are complete and that your team knows exactly what to do in an emergency.

  • 02

    Less ransomware risk

    With offline or immutable copies, an attack cannot alter your backups, and you are not forced to negotiate with attackers.

  • 03

    A plan everyone can follow

    The documented plan shows who acts, in what order and with which tools, even when your main IT person is away.

How we work

Step by step, with you involved

01

Data assessment

We identify which data and systems are critical and how long your business can operate without them.

02

Plan design

We document the backup and recovery plan: what is saved, where, how often and how it is restored.

03

Implementation

We configure backups following the 3-2-1 rule, including the off-site copy and the offline or immutable copy.

04

Testing and review

We run restore tests regularly, check that every backup completed successfully and update the plan when something changes.

FAQ

Questions we often get asked

We already have a backup. Why do we need a plan?

A backup is just the copy; the plan is how you get back to work. Without it, an emergency turns into a search for where the copies are, who has the passwords and what to restore first. We start by checking the backup you have and improve it rather than replacing it for the sake of it.

What does the 3-2-1 rule mean?

Keep three copies of your data: the original and two backups. Store them on two different types of media, for example a local disk and the cloud. Keep at least one copy off-site, so a fire or theft at the office cannot destroy all of them.

How does backup protect us from ransomware?

Ransomware tries to encrypt any backups it can reach on the network. That is why we keep at least one copy offline, disconnected from the network, or immutable, meaning it cannot be deleted or changed for a set period. That way you can restore your data without paying a ransom.

Where are the off-site copies stored?

We decide that together, based on how much data you have and the rules you need to follow. The off-site copy can live in the cloud, such as Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, or at a separate physical location. Either way, copies are encrypted and access to them is controlled.
