Backup & recovery

Your business needs
a reliable way back.

A backup provides reassurance. Tested recovery gets your business working again. DAXS plans both together.

START WITH OPERATIONS

Restore essential work first.

Clarify priorities

Which applications keep your business running? DAXS identifies dependencies and the order of recovery.

Back up data appropriately

Plan backup intervals and retention around data changes and acceptable loss.

Prepare recovery

Establish access, a replacement environment and responsibilities before an incident.

BACKUP AND RECOVERY

Separate copies. Recovery tested in practice.

Local backup and a separate copy complement each other. A recovery test shows whether data, sign-in and business functions can actually be used again.

A TANGIBLE RESULT

Know what can be restored — and what is still missing.

DAXS tests the agreed scope in a suitable test environment. The report records the backup state, actual recovery time, application checks and next improvements.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Questions about backup and recovery.

How often should data be backed up?
That depends on how quickly data changes and what loss the business could tolerate. These requirements are established separately for important applications and balanced against technology, cost and retention.
How long does recovery take?
Data volume, bandwidth, hardware and application dependencies determine the duration. A practical test provides a useful basis for planning. It does not establish a universally applicable recovery time.
Does cloud data need an additional backup?
We review the backup and recovery functions of the service concerned, together with your requirements for versions, deletions, retention and a potential change of provider. An additional backup is then a considered decision.
Is a snapshot the same as a backup?
A snapshot often resides on the same platform and shares its failure risks. Separate backup copies, independent access and tested recovery remain distinct tasks.
THE NEXT PRACTICAL STEP

Discuss your backup and recovery review.

Bring your current backup arrangements and most important applications. We will define an initial review of separation, priorities or a recovery test.

Simply explained

A backup is a copy of important data or systems. It is useful only if the information you need can actually be restored when something goes wrong.

DAXS works with you to establish what needs backing up, how often backups are needed and how long recovery may take. We also check that recovery actually works. A backup does not replace ongoing security checks.
