Backup and disaster recovery

A backup is only useful if it can actually be restored. Many businesses find out their backup was incomplete, outdated or unreadable on the day they need it.

  1. Production dataThe server, NAS and applications your business works on every day
  2. Local backup copySeparate storage on site, for fast day-to-day restores
  3. Off-site or cloud copyA copy that survives fire, theft or ransomware on site
  4. Restore testPeriodic checks that the copies actually restore
Backup copies are layered so that no single failure — a deleted file, a dead disk, a fire — takes the data and every copy of it.

What it is

We set up backups that run automatically, keep more than one copy, get monitored, and get tested.

Problems this solves

  • Nobody knows when the last successful backup ran
  • Backups sit on a USB drive next to the server
  • Ransomware or disk failure would mean losing accounting data
  • Restoring a server has never been tried
  • There is no plan for what happens if the office server is lost

What we provide

  • Backup design with multiple copies, including off-site
  • Server and VM backup, including Proxmox Backup Server
  • NAS-to-NAS and NAS-to-cloud backup
  • Backup job monitoring and failure alerts
  • Periodic restore testing
  • Restore assistance when something goes wrong
  • A written, practical disaster recovery plan

How we do it

  1. Decide what mattersWhich data, and how much work you could afford to lose if you had to restore.
  2. Design the copiesWhere each copy lives, how often it runs and how long it is kept.
  3. Set up and scheduleBackup jobs are configured on the server, NAS or virtual environment.
  4. Monitor for failuresFailed and missed jobs raise an alert instead of going unnoticed.
  5. Test restoresWe restore real data periodically, so recovery is proven rather than assumed.

Technologies involved

  • Proxmox Backup Server
  • ZFS snapshots & replication
  • QNAP / Synology backup tools
  • Cloud backup storage

Products we work with. Listing a product does not imply an official partnership.

A typical requirement

A trading business whose Tally data exists only on one server and an occasionally connected USB drive.

A company wanting a second copy of its virtual machines off-site.

Common questions

How often should we back up?

It depends on how much work you can afford to lose. For accounting data, daily at minimum. We set the schedule around your answer.

Do you test restores?

Yes. A backup is not considered working until a restore has been tested.
