When recovery fails.

Most disaster recovery plans weren’t built for cyber attacks. Today’s IT outages expose disaster recovery gaps, from unreliable restore points to planning and processes that fall over when you need them most.

Disaster Recovery Services FAQs.

Disaster recovery services help organisations restore IT systems, data and workloads after outages, cyber attacks or major disruptions. They focus on restoring availability quickly and safely, using proven recovery processes, tested infrastructure and defined recovery objectives.

Backup focuses on protecting data, while IT disaster recovery focuses on restoring full systems, applications and services. IT disaster recovery planning combines backup, recovery infrastructure, testing and planning to ensure operations can resume within defined recovery time and recovery point objectives.

An effective IT disaster recovery plan defines critical systems, recovery priorities, recovery objectives (RPO and RTO), failover processes, roles and responsibilities, and regular testing procedures. It ensures recovery actions are clear, repeatable and auditable during real incidents.

Recovery timeframes depend on the criticality of each workload and the recovery objectives agreed upfront. For eligible systems, we commit to recovery targets of under one hour, backed by defined recovery processes and managed failover support.

Recovery objectives are documented as part of your disaster recovery and planning process, ensuring recovery times are realistic, testable and aligned to business impact.

Modern disaster recovery services are designed for cyber attacks as well as outages. They use validated restore points, immutable backups and controlled failover processes to help organisations recover safely from ransomware or data corruption without reinfection or operational risk.
