DATA PROTECTION & RESILIENCE
Backup and disaster recovery built around recoverability.
Having backups is not the same as being ready to recover. SMJ Technologies helps structure backup and disaster recovery reviews around business impact, recovery objectives, workload dependencies and practical restore procedures.
Questions to answer
What must recover first?
Identify critical services, dependencies and the recovery sequence.
What can be restored?
Understand coverage, retention, copies, access controls and restore paths.
How will recovery be proven?
Define test scope, validation evidence, responsibilities and gaps to address.
SCOPE OF WORK
Recovery objectives should drive the design.
A recovery plan needs to connect the business requirement to data protection, infrastructure dependencies and the practical steps operators will follow. Review areas may include on-premises and virtual workloads, cloud services, backup repositories, replication, recovery sites and documented runbooks.
FOCUS AREAS
Resilience and recovery workstreams
The precise scope depends on the current environment, available information and agreed engagement objectives.
01
Backup coverage review
Map protected workloads, coverage gaps, retention assumptions, access controls and failure domains.
02
DR design & sequencing
Relate RPO/RTO targets to dependencies, recovery order, capacity and the available recovery environment.
03
Restore & test readiness
Define practical restore scenarios, validation steps, owners, evidence and follow-up actions.
A practical engagement
Scope starts with the systems, risks and recovery expectations that matter most. Implementation and testing are planned as separate deliverables where included, with the required access, change window and customer responsibilities agreed beforehand.
Potential deliverables
- Workload and dependency map
- Recovery objectives and assumptions
- Backup / DR gap summary and prioritized actions
- Restore test plan and operational handover outline
Work is scoped before implementation. Any testing, remediation, migration or ongoing support is included only where agreed.
