Common questions
Which backup platforms do you cover?
Veeam, native SQL Server and Oracle backups, Microsoft 365 backup tools, and cloud-native snapshots across AWS and Azure. Mixed setups are normal and scoped as one review.
What if the restore fails?
Then the review just earned its fee, because that failure was going to happen anyway, during an incident, with the business watching. The report documents exactly where the recovery broke and what fixes it.
Is one restore test enough?
One test proves whether the pipeline works today; it does not keep it working. A regular restore cadence is part of our co-managed IT work, and the report shows what that cadence should cover.
