3-2-1 as minimum standard
Three copies, two media types, one off-site. For critical data we add an immutable copy that even an admin cannot delete.
We build backup strategies along the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, two different media, one offsite. More important than the rule is the regular recovery test. We verify that restores actually work when you need them.
Three copies, two media types, one off-site. For critical data we add an immutable copy that even an admin cannot delete.
At least once a year we restore a real server from your backup and verify all services come up. So you know what you actually have.
Immutable snapshots, separate backup accounts, air-gap where possible. Even if the production network is encrypted, your backups stay untouched.
We back up both: local servers and cloud workloads (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS). One concept, the same retention periods, one overview.
Which data exists where, who needs it for what, which retention periods apply? This determines the backup concept.
Installation of backup infrastructure, connection of all relevant sources, definition of retention periods and recovery points.
First complete backup, test restore of several sample files and a complete server.
Daily monitoring of backup jobs, monthly report, annual real recovery test with documentation for auditors and insurers.
Typically Veeam for server environments, AvePoint or Synology Active Backup for Microsoft 365, and Synology or QNAP NAS for local file storage. The choice depends on volume and retention requirements.
A single document: minutes. An entire file server: usually within half a day. A full site after a serious incident: 1–2 days, depending on data volume and hardware availability.
Typically €80–250 per server per month including licence and management. For Microsoft 365, typically €2–4 per mailbox per month. We always provide a transparent quote before any contract.
Yes, but we recommend at least one additional copy off-site. A NAS alone is not a backup concept. It is a single copy at a single location.
All listed locations are served by us on-site.
