Why Backup Alone Does Not Protect Your Business

Introduction

Many organisations believe that because they have backups, they are protected.

Unfortunately, backup does not equal recovery.

Common Problems

Businesses often discover:

  • Backups have failed
  • Data is incomplete
  • Recovery is too slow
  • Critical systems were not included


The Recovery Question

The most important question is:

“How quickly can we recover?”

Recovery capability is what matters during a cyber incident.

Best Practice

Regularly test:

  • File recovery
  • Server recovery
  • Microsoft 365 recovery
  • Disaster recovery procedures


Conclusion

Successful recovery requires planning, testing and validation.
