01 / The need
Defined backups and recovery you can test
We start with your information priorities to define what to back up, how long to retain it and how to test restoration. We review backup and recovery needs to establish the project components and activities. This produces an agreed scope for backup copies and recovery testing, without promising recovery times or complete recovery before assessing the environment.
02 / Integration
Components based on the scope.
Hardware
Backup storage resources only if the assessment establishes a need.
Software
Existing backup and recovery tools, or tools to assess against requirements.
Services
Definition of backup data, retention and agreed restoration tests.
03 / The scope
A configuration for your project.
Components are alternatives based on assessment and scope, not a mandatory package. Supply, installation, testing, schedules and terms are agreed for each project.
Activities, deliverables and verification criteria are agreed according to the assessment and contracted scope.
