Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is business continuity planning and why is it critical?
Business continuity planning is a comprehensive strategy for maintaining business operations during and after disasters, outages, or disruptions. It’s critical because 60% of businesses that experience major data loss close within six months, and 93% of companies without disaster recovery plans that suffer major data disasters are out of business within one year. A solid business continuity plan protects revenue, maintains customer trust, ensures regulatory compliance, and provides competitive advantage through demonstrated resilience.
What's the difference between RTO and RPO?
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable time to restore business operations after a disruption – how long you can be down. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time – how much data you can afford to lose. For example, 4-hour RTO means systems must be restored within 4 hours, while 1-hour RPO means losing more than 1 hour of data is unacceptable. These metrics drive backup frequency and recovery architecture decisions.
How often should backups be performed?
Backup frequency depends on your RPO requirements and data change rate. Critical databases often need continuous replication or hourly backups (15-minute to 1-hour RPO), business applications typically require 4-6 hour backup intervals, file servers usually need daily backups, and archival systems may only need weekly backups. We analyze your data criticality, change rates, and recovery objectives to determine optimal backup schedules for each system.
How do you protect backups from ransomware attacks?
Ransomware protection requires multi-layered approaches: immutable backups that cannot be encrypted or deleted, air-gapped backup copies physically or logically separated from production, versioned backups retaining multiple restore points, offline backup copies on tape or isolated storage, zero-trust access controls limiting backup system access, and regular recovery testing ensuring ransomware-free restoration. Modern backup solutions include built-in ransomware detection and clean recovery capabilities.
How much does cloud backup cost compared to traditional backup?
Disaster recovery testing validates your ability to recover systems and resume operations. Tests include backup restoration verification for all critical systems, failover testing to disaster recovery sites, recovery time measurement against RTO objectives, application functionality validation post-recovery, data integrity verification, communication procedure testing, and documentation accuracy review. We recommend quarterly testing for critical systems and annual comprehensive DR exercises including tabletop scenarios with leadership.
How long should we retain backup data?
Retention requirements vary by data type and regulations. Financial records often require 7 years retention, healthcare data needs 6-10 years under HIPAA, email and communications may need 3-7 years, and operational backups typically need 30-90 days. We design tiered retention policies using cost-effective storage classes: hot storage for recent backups (30 days), cool storage for medium-term retention (1 year), and archive storage for long-term compliance (7+ years), balancing compliance needs with storage costs.
Can you backup SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 and Salesforce?
Yes, SaaS backup is critical because cloud service providers don’t guarantee data recovery from user errors, malicious deletion, or retention gaps. We implement specialized SaaS backup solutions that protect Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams), Google Workspace, Salesforce, and other business-critical SaaS applications. SaaS backups provide unlimited retention, granular recovery options, compliance archiving, and protection against ransomware, insider threats, and accidental deletion.
What happens to our data during migration?
Cloud backup typically costs 30-50% less than traditional on-premises backup infrastructure when considering total cost of ownership. Cloud eliminates hardware purchases, reduces maintenance, provides automatic scaling, and offers pay-as-you-go pricing. Costs depend on data volume, retention periods, and recovery requirements. Typical range: $5-15 per TB per month for storage, plus compute costs for backups and recoveries. We optimize costs through storage tiering, deduplication, compression, and retention policy tuning.
What's included in a comprehensive business continuity plan?
A comprehensive business continuity plan includes: business impact analysis identifying critical processes and dependencies, recovery strategies for people, processes, and technology, detailed recovery procedures and runbooks, communication plans for employees, customers, and stakeholders, alternate site plans and work-from-home capabilities, supply chain and vendor continuity planning, testing schedules and validation procedures, plan maintenance and update processes, roles and responsibilities documentation, and regulatory compliance documentation. We create living documents updated regularly through testing and organizational changes.
How quickly can we recover from a major disaster?
Recovery time depends on your backup architecture, recovery objectives, and disaster scope. With modern cloud backup and DRaaS solutions, critical systems can failover within minutes to hours (RTO: 1-4 hours), full business operations typically resume within 4-24 hours, and complete recovery including non-critical systems takes 1-3 days. We design tiered recovery prioritizing revenue-generating and customer-facing systems first. Regular testing validates recovery capabilities and identifies optimization opportunities for faster restoration.
