Disaster Recovery

DR design with tested restores and runbooks aligned to agreed RPO/RTO targets.

Disaster Recovery connects backups to business continuity. We design recovery paths for priority systems, document who does what during an incident, and run a restore drill so the plan is more than a slide deck. Targets are treated as design goals, not marketing guarantees.

From $3,499

Who it’s for

  • Ops teams needing proof of recoverability
  • Companies after a close call with data loss
  • Teams preparing customer or board DR questions

Problems we address

  • DR plans exist but have never been exercised
  • Failover depends on one person who is unavailable
  • RPO/RTO numbers were chosen without technical backing

Expected outcomes

  • DR architecture matched to realistic targets
  • Documented runbooks with roles and decision points
  • At least one restore drill with evidence captured

FAQ

No. We design toward agreed targets and validate with drills. Actual recovery time depends on scope, access, and incident conditions.
