A backup nobody tests
The routine has run for years, but nobody knows whether restoration works — and the answer arrives at the worst moment.
Backup and continuity
Managed backup that survives the worst day
Local structure with remote replication, ransomware-protected copies and tested restoration — because a backup nobody verifies is just hope.

When we're called in
Signs it's time to revisit your support coverage
These scenarios help us demonstrate the SLA, governance, and user experience gains we deliver.
One copy, in the same place
Data and backup in the same building or on the same server go down together — by failure, theft or ransomware.
Ransomware that encrypts the backup too
Modern attacks find and destroy reachable copies before demanding ransom.
Turning strategy into outcomes
What changes in the first quarter
Governance, metrics, and processes designed so your operation doesn't fall back.
Local for speed, remote to survive
Fast restoration from the local copy, and remote replication for scenarios where the site is lost.
Copies protected against ransomware
Versioning and isolation so an attack on the environment cannot reach the backup.
Restoration tested, not presumed
Documented periodic restore tests — the backup is proven before it is needed.
Execution
Deliverables that leave the slide deck
Documentation, spares, integrations, and governance delivered with the project.
Core deliverables
- 01
Backup plan design
Contract-defined scope — servers, files and systems — with retention policy and defined RPO/RTO.
- 02
Local structure with remote replication
Sized local storage and replication to a remote destination, encrypted in transit.
- 03
Daily monitoring of backup jobs
Jobs tracked by the NOC, with failure handling and periodic coverage reports.
- 04
Disaster recovery plan
Documented scenarios, priorities and procedures, with scheduled restore tests.
ASSIST differentiators
-
Backup verified by people, every day
A failed job becomes a ticket handled the same day — not a discovery months later, at restore time.
-
Continuity designed with the environment
The plan connects with firewall, monitoring and support — one team sees the whole picture.
-
Existing storage used with judgment
We work with Synology equipment and evaluate what you already have before proposing new investment.
Stages
Assessment, project, rollout, and continuous support
Every phase is documented, audited, and connected to ASSIST monitoring.
- 1
Assessment
We map critical data, volumes, windows and what exists today in copies and retention.
- 2
Deployment
We configure local routines and remote replication, validate the first restoration and document the plan.
- 3
Operation and testing
Daily job monitoring, periodic restore tests and plan reviews as the environment changes.
Local copy, remote replica, proven restoration
The architecture follows a simple logic: the local copy brings a file or a server back in minutes; the remote replica exists for the scenario where the whole site is lost — fire, theft, ransomware. And none of it matters without the third element: periodic, documented restore tests that turn "we have backup" into "we know it restores".
Ransomware changes how backup is designed
Current attacks hunt the copies before demanding payment. That is why the routines use versioning and isolation between production and backup — the access that encrypts the data is not the one that writes the copies. It is the difference between paying ransom and restoring the environment.
Continuity is a team sport
Backup is the last line of a plan that starts earlier: managed security reduces the chance of the incident, 24×7 monitoring shortens detection, and managed IT support executes the recovery with people who already know the environment — no rediscovery mid-crisis.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What goes into the backup?+
Scope is defined by contract - servers, databases, files and critical systems. The initial assessment maps what is vital to the operation and sizes volume and retention.
How fast can I restore?+
It depends on volume and scenario. The plan defines RPO and RTO per contract, and periodic restore tests validate that the agreed targets hold in practice.
Does the backup survive a ransomware attack?+
The design uses versioning and copies isolated from production, precisely so an attack that encrypts your data cannot reach the restore copies.
Do I need to buy new storage?+
Not necessarily. We evaluate the existing structure and keep what serves well. When investment is needed, we size the equipment — we work with Synology — and present the alternatives.
