Data analysis
Identify critical systems, acceptable data loss and required recovery speed.
Service 03
Data backup and recovery
I build backup systems where the goal is not just to create files, but to restore business operations reliably after an incident.
When to contact
This service is useful when
- backups appear to run but nobody verifies the result
- copies are stored on the same server or disk as the original
- nobody knows how long recovery after a failure would take
- critical files and databases are copied manually by one employee
Scope of work
What can be included
in the task
The exact scope depends on your existing infrastructure and goal. Priorities and expected outcomes are agreed before work begins.
Backup strategy
Choose schedules, retention and multiple independent backup locations.
Servers and files
Protect file shares, configurations, virtual machines and working data.
Databases
Consistent backups of databases and business applications with their specific requirements.
Job monitoring
Failure alerts, storage capacity checks and verification of successful backups.
Recovery testing
Validate copies and document a step-by-step emergency recovery plan.
After completion
What will change
- 01a clear view of what is protected and for how long
- 02backup job failures are detected promptly
- 03an independent copy exists if primary equipment fails
- 04recovery is tested before a real emergency
Process
From initial assessment
to a working result
- 01
Inventory
We identify critical data, volume, location and business requirements.
- 02
Protection plan
We agree frequency, retention, storage locations and recovery priority.
- 03
Implementation
I automate jobs, error monitoring and secure credential storage.
- 04
Verification
I perform a test recovery and provide a clear action plan.
Frequently asked questions
What you need to know
Why is copying to a second disk not enough?+
It helps with one drive failure but may not protect against malware, user error, theft or total server damage. Independent copies are essential.
Can you verify an existing backup setup?+
Yes. I can review job logs, integrity and retention, then perform an agreed test recovery.
Do you back up 1C and other business systems?+
Yes. The safe method depends on the database architecture and downtime requirements, so the scenario is selected for the specific system.
