Planning and implementation of backup systems

mdtech provides services for developing the architecture and implementing Information Backup and Recovery Systems.

Consistent access to corporate information and its preservation ensure the continuity of business processes and company efficiency. The inability to promptly recover lost information can severely damage business reputation and lead to significant financial losses.

When is a Backup System Organization Necessary?

A data backup system ensures the fastest possible recovery of information in cases of:

• Physical failure of a data storage device (server, NAS, SAN).

• Accidental or intentional deletion of information by employees.

• Actions of malicious programs, such as ransomware.

• Failures in infrastructure or user software.

• Irreversible loss or seizure of equipment.

Designing and implementing a backup system will ensure data preservation and allow for the rapid restoration of data critical to your business.

When is a Backup System Audit Necessary?

A backup system audit is a comprehensive assessment of the company's existing data backup and recovery processes and technologies. An audit is necessary when:

• There are periodic problems with creating backups.

• There are frequent failures when restoring data from backups.

• There is no confidence in the completeness and integrity of backups due to incorrect configuration.

• There is uncertainty regarding recovery time after a failure (RTO).

• Cyberattacks resulting in data loss have occurred.

• There are plans for scaling the IT infrastructure.

The audit involves assessing the strategy, checking the integrity and accessibility of backups, and evaluating the recovery time of systems after an accident.

Stages of Backup System Implementation

1. Survey: Collecting data on the current IT infrastructure, auditing the existing backup system (if present), and defining the volume and types of critical data subject to backup.

2. Analysis: Ranking stored information by criticality. Determining the acceptable volume of data loss (RPO) and the acceptable recovery time (RTO) for the customer.

3. Solution Architecture Planning: Choosing a local or hybrid copy storage scenario. Defining the backup scheme topology, selecting technologies (software), and determining storage duration. Finalizing the plan with the customer.

4. Implementation: Configuring server equipment or a virtual machine for deploying backup software. Connecting storage systems (NAS or tape library). Installing backup agents and configuring the backup system. Performing test backup tasks.

5. Validation and Training: Logging errors, optimizing configuration, and testing restoration. Training customer specialists to support the backup system.

mdtech Engineers are ready to perform the audit, planning, and organization of a data backup and recovery system that meets modern standards of reliability and security.
