Why It Matters

An untested backup is a guess, not a plan

Most organizations find out their backups do not restore cleanly during an actual outage, which is the worst possible time to learn it.

Objectives, Not Just Copies

Recovery time and point objectives set per system

Not every system needs the same recovery target. We set RTO and RPO per system based on what it actually costs the business to be down or lose recent data.

  • RTO and RPO defined with your team.
  • Priorities matched to business impact.
  • Schedules built to meet the objective, not a generic default.
Server infrastructure covered by a backup schedule
Proven, Not Assumed

Restore tests scheduled on a recurring basis

Backups are restored on a set schedule, in a controlled environment, so you know the recovery process works before you ever need it during a real incident.

  • Restore tests run on a fixed cadence.
  • Failures logged and fixed, not ignored.
  • Confidence backed by evidence, not assumption.

What a Backup Schedule Looks Like

Every job, its cadence, and its last known status

How It Works

From current backups to a tested recovery plan

1
Assess current state
We review what is backed up today, how often, and what would actually happen in an outage.
2
Set RTO and RPO
Recovery targets are set per system, based on what downtime or data loss would cost.
3
Build the schedule
Backup jobs and retention are configured to meet the objectives you set.
4
Write the recovery plan
Steps, owners and expected timelines are documented for each system.
5
Test and repeat
Restore tests run on a recurring cadence, with findings fixed and re-verified.

Why Us

Why teams choose TCB Infotech for Backup & Disaster Recovery

1
We test restores, not just schedule backups
A backup job that has never been restored is not a plan. We build testing into the schedule from day one.

Objectives set per system
Not every system gets the same treatment. RTO and RPO are matched to real business impact.
3
Failures get fixed, not filed away
A failed restore test is treated as a real finding, with a fix and a re-test before we call it done.
4
Plans your team can actually run
Recovery steps are documented clearly enough for someone other than us to follow under pressure.
5
Ransomware and deletion in scope
Retention and immutability are set to cover more than hardware failure alone.
6
Proven delivery
50+ ERP and software projects delivered, with zero failed projects since 2021.
FAQ

Backup & Disaster Recovery, answered

What is the difference between a backup and a disaster recovery plan?
A backup is a copy of your data. A disaster recovery plan is the documented, tested process for actually getting systems back online using that copy, including who does what and how long it should take.
What are RTO and RPO, and how do you set them?
Recovery Time Objective is how long a system can be down before it causes serious harm, and Recovery Point Objective is how much data loss, measured in time, is acceptable. We set both with you per system, since not everything needs the same target.
Do you actually test restores, or just take backups?
We schedule periodic restore tests as part of the plan, not just the backup job itself. A backup that has never been restored is unverified, and that is where most disaster recovery plans quietly fail.
What happens if a restore test fails?
A failed restore test is treated as a finding, not a footnote. We document the cause, fix the underlying issue, and re-run the test before considering that system's recovery plan verified.
Does this cover ransomware and accidental deletion, not just hardware failure?
Yes. Backup retention and immutability settings are chosen to cover accidental deletion and ransomware scenarios, not only outright infrastructure failure.
How long does it take to set up backup and disaster recovery for existing systems?
A first system typically has backups, schedules and an initial restore test completed within two to three weeks, with additional systems phased in after that based on priority.

Backup & Disaster Recovery Features

How Backup & Disaster Recovery Works

From an assessment of what is backed up today to a schedule and recovery plan that has actually been tested. Here is how we build it.

Core Process

Assessing, scheduling and testing, in that order

Assessment

What is backed up today, and what would happen in an outage

We review current backup coverage system by system, and identify where recovery would take too long or lose too much data against what the business can tolerate.

  • Coverage reviewed system by system.
  • Gaps flagged against real business impact.
  • A priority order for what to fix first.
Data center hosting backup infrastructure
Planning

Recovery objectives and a written runbook

RTO and RPO are set per system, and a recovery runbook documents the exact steps, owners and expected timeline for bringing each system back online.

  • RTO and RPO set per system.
  • Runbook steps written, not assumed.
  • Owners named for each recovery step.

Testing

Restore tests run on a recurring cadence

Backups are restored in a controlled environment on a set schedule, with results and any failures logged against the objectives set for that system.

  • Restores run on a fixed cadence.
  • Results logged against the objective.
  • Failures fixed and re-verified.
