Backup & Disaster Recovery

When data is missing, a clear plan matters.

Backup for servers and important systems, monitored jobs and tested recovery for SMEs in Berlin and Brandenburg. Remotely and on site when needed.

Intro

Backup and restore belong together.

A synchronisation or an extra copy can help day to day, but it is not automatically a resilient backup. A backup is kept separate from the primary system, checked for successful runs and planned so data can be recovered in the right context.

We also consider cloud and Microsoft 365 data where it is part of the agreed scope. Retention and backup cycles are aligned with your systems and requirements. We do not make one-size-fits-all promises.

Concretely

What we do in detail

  • Review of the systems and data that need to be protected for your business
  • Backup for servers, important business systems and cloud or Microsoft 365 data within the agreed scope
  • Backup cycles and retention rules aligned with your systems, operations and requirements
  • Monitoring of backup jobs and traceable handling of failed or incomplete runs
  • Separate or offsite copies as an additional layer of protection from failures in the primary environment
  • Regular restore tests to verify recovery, not just successful backup jobs
  • Clear documentation for backup and recovery procedures
  • A structured response to data loss, system failure or a security incident
  • Coordination with managed IT, server management, hosting and IT security where those areas are involved
Outcome

What you receive

  • Documented overview of the systems and data to protect
  • Agreed backup and retention plan
  • Monitored backup runs with traceable failure information
  • Tested example restore path
  • Documented responsibilities and next steps for a recovery case
Our process

How we work

  1. Understand dependencies

    We map systems, data, responsibilities and the processes your business relies on most. This creates a realistic foundation for the backup plan.

  2. Set up protection

    We align sources, cycles, retention and separate backup destinations with your environment. Shared planning is more useful than a one-size-fits-all number.

  3. Monitor and test

    Backup runs are checked for anomalies. Restore tests regularly show whether data and procedures are actually usable when needed.

  4. Act in a recovery case

    When data is lost, we first clarify the cause and scope, stabilise the situation, choose a suitable restore point and document the next steps.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How often should backups run?
That depends on how often data changes, how important it is to the business and how a loss could practically be handled. We derive backup cycles from those requirements instead of promising a universal schedule.
How long should backups be retained?
A useful retention policy depends on business processes, the required look-back period and any specific legal or contractual requirements that apply. We agree the appropriate rule for your environment rather than quoting a generic number.
Why do restore tests matter?
A successful backup job does not by itself prove that data can be restored completely and usefully. Restore tests check readability, the required steps and the documentation, exposing gaps before an incident happens.
Is Microsoft 365 automatically backed up sufficiently?
Microsoft 365 includes availability and recovery features, but that does not automatically replace an independently planned backup of every data set important to your business. We review which data and recovery paths should be covered within your Microsoft 365 scope.
Can you take over an existing backup solution?
Yes. We review the current solution, covered systems, failures, retention and documented recovery paths. We then decide with you whether to keep, adjust or gradually replace it.
Is Backup & Disaster Recovery a full business continuity consultancy?
Our focus is technical protection, monitoring, recovery and the procedures around them. A full business continuity programme covering every organisational and operational emergency process is a broader topic and is not automatically part of this service.
