Most SMBs have backups. Far fewer have backups that actually restore in under a day. We build to the latter standard — Veeam-backed, 3-2-1, tested every quarter, with documented runbooks so the right person knows what to do at 2am.
Three copies, two media types, one offsite. Standard practice — but the offsite copy is immutable, so ransomware can't encrypt it.
Onsite repository for fast restore, cloud tier for offsite. We're a Veeam Silver VAR — same team that sells the licence supports it.
Often missed. M365 retention is not a backup. Veeam Backup for M365 protects mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams.
Every quarter we restore a sample workload to a clean environment and verify it boots. The test itself is the deliverable.
RTO and RPO measured per workload. Who runs what, in what order, with what credentials. Reviewed annually.
