Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backups that are tested, and a recovery plan you have rehearsed.
Overview
A backup that has never been restored is an assumption. Disaster recovery is the discipline of turning that assumption into a tested procedure with known recovery time and known data loss limits.
Markedge designs backup and recovery around your actual systems and tolerances: what must be protected, how far back you need to go, how quickly each system must return, and where copies are kept so a single failure, ransomware event or site loss does not take the backups with it. Restores are rehearsed and recorded.
Benefits
Known recovery objectives
Recovery time and recovery point targets defined per system and designed for.
Copies that survive
Offsite and immutable copies protect against ransomware and site loss.
Proven by rehearsal
Scheduled restore tests with documented results.
What we deliver
Backup design
Coverage, frequency, retention and storage locations per system.
Implementation
Server, database, cloud service and endpoint backups with encryption.
Verification
Automated success checks, alerts on failure and periodic restore tests.
Disaster-recovery planning
Runbooks, roles, communication and rehearsals.

Solutions this service supports
Frequently asked questions
Frequency follows how much data you can afford to lose per system; critical databases may need continuous protection while file shares may be daily. The assessment sets this per system.
Providers protect their platform, not necessarily your data against deletion or ransomware; separate backups of cloud services are usually recommended.
Jobs are monitored and restores are rehearsed on a schedule, with results recorded.
