Backup and Data Recovery Plan
Copying files is not enough on its own. Let us plan together which data is backed up, how often, and how it is restored when you need it.
Operational Need
Make sure your backup actually restores
When licences are scattered across emails and spreadsheets, you end up with unused seats, missed renewals and unclear ownership.
The 1Byte Approach
Backup designed with recovery in mind
Identifying critical data and applications. A plan for backup frequency, retention period and off-site copies. Restricting access and deletion rights on backups. Validating recovery steps with sample restores.

Working Model
How does the service process work?
RPO/RTO targets
How much data loss and downtime is acceptable is set as a target.
Architecture
Where, how often and how many backup copies are made is designed; at least one copy is kept elsewhere.
Setup
Backups are set up and access and delete rights on them are restricted.
Periodic testing
Test restores regularly confirm that the backups actually work.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does taking backups prevent downtime entirely?
No. Backup reduces the risk of data loss; how quickly a service returns depends on the infrastructure in use and the recovery plan. Expectations should be assessed together with test results.
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
Keep at least three copies of the data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored in a separate location. The goal is that no single failure or attack affects every copy.
How do we know the backups work?
Sample files and systems are restored at regular intervals and the result is recorded. A backup that has never been restored is not assumed to work.
