Disaster recovery and business continuity planning, built around real recovery testing and failover architecture - so the plan works the one time it actually matters.
A disaster recovery plan that's never been tested isn't a plan - it's a document. Advatech builds DR and business continuity around the same discipline: defined recovery objectives, architecture that actually meets them, and regular testing that proves it.
This is deliberately separate from routine backup - backup protects data; disaster recovery and business continuity protect the business's ability to keep operating when a system, site, or service fails.
Defined recovery time and recovery point objectives, with an architecture built to actually meet them.
Organization-wide continuity planning covering people and process, not just systems.
Scheduled, real failover tests - not tabletop exercises - that validate the plan actually works.
Backup architecture resistant to tampering or deletion, including by ransomware with elevated access.
Redundant architecture that keeps critical systems running through component failure.
Automated or rapid manual failover to secondary infrastructure when primary systems fail.
Continuous data replication to a secondary site or region, minimizing recovery point objectives.
Automated recovery runbooks that cut recovery time from hours of manual work to a defined, repeatable process.
Recovery time and recovery point objectives defined per system, based on actual business impact.
Architecture designed to meet those objectives - replication, failover, and immutable backup.
Real recovery testing executed on a defined schedule, with results documented.
Plan and architecture refined based on what testing actually reveals.
Backup monitoring verifies routine data backups completed; disaster recovery and business continuity plan and test for full system and site failure, with defined recovery objectives and failover architecture.
At minimum annually for lower-risk systems, more frequently for critical ones - the right cadence depends on how often your environment changes and what a failure would cost you.
Ransomware and insider threats that attempt to delete or encrypt backups themselves - immutable backups can't be altered or deleted even with elevated credentials, for a defined retention window.
Yes - RTOs and RPOs are defined against actual business impact and what your infrastructure can realistically achieve, not set arbitrarily and left untested.
