Backup & Recovery

Your data is the lifeblood of your business. Without a reliable backup and rapid recovery plan, a single ransomware attack, hardware failure, or natural disaster can halt your operations indefinitely, leading to catastrophic financial and reputational loss.

 

Elrond Consulting’s Backup and Recovery services are designed to give you peace of mind by ensuring your critical data is securely stored, rapidly recoverable, and compliant with all relevant regulations. We move beyond simple backups to a full business continuity strategy.

 

What is Backup and Recovery?

 

Backup is the process of creating a secure, verified copy of your critical data, applications, and system configurations and storing it on a separate, protected media or location.

Recovery is the process of restoring that lost or damaged data from the secure copy back to its original or an alternative system to resume normal business operations as quickly as possible.

 

These two practices form the foundation of Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC), ensuring that your organization can withstand any disruptive event.

 

1. Strategic Planning & Implementation

  • RPO/RTO Definition: We work with you to define your Recovery Point Objective (RPO)—how much data you can afford to lose (e.g., last 15 minutes)—and your Recovery Time Objective (RTO)—how fast you need to be operational—for every critical system.

  • 3-2-1 Strategy: We implement the industry best practice of keeping 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy off-site (Cloud or a secure data center).

  • System Deployment: Deploying and configuring best-in-class backup software and appliances for both on-premise servers and cloud environments.

2. Managed Backup & Monitoring

  • Continuous Monitoring: Our team proactively monitors every scheduled backup job (full, incremental, differential) to ensure completion, integrity, and security.

  • Proactive Maintenance: We manage all software patches, updates, and capacity planning for your backup storage, eliminating manual IT overhead.

  • Air-Gapped & Immutable Storage: We leverage cloud technology to create a complete separation (air-gap) between your live network and your backup data, making the backup copies unchangeable and safe from malware.

3. Disaster Recovery & Testing

  • Managed Failover: For critical applications, we can provision a virtual replica of your server environment in the cloud, ready to be powered on in minutes (Failover) in the event of a total site disaster.

  • Full System Restore (Bare Metal): The ability to restore an entire operating system, applications, and data onto new hardware with minimal effort.

  • Routine Testing: We schedule and execute regular, non-disruptive disaster recovery tests. We verify that every critical system can be recovered within its RTO, providing you with verifiable proof of readiness and a Quarterly DR Health Report.
