·Business continuity & backup
Make sure you
can recover.
Backups that aren't tested. Recovery plans that live in someone's inbox. Microsoft 365 that everyone assumes is backing itself up. I help businesses fix those assumptions before they're tested for real.
01How I help
Backup, recovery,
and a plan.
Microsoft 365 backup
- Microsoft 365 doesn't back itself up: most businesses assume it does. It doesn't.
- Mailbox, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams protected with proper third-party backup (Veeam, Acronis, Keepit or similar).
- Restore testing: not just the backup running, but an actual restore proven to work.
- Retention that fits your industry: finance, trust and healthcare often need years, not months.
Server and file backup
- On-prem servers: proper image-level backup with offsite copies, not just a NAS in the cupboard.
- Cloud-to-cloud backup for Google Workspace, Dropbox, Salesforce and the SaaS that matters.
- Endpoint backup for laptops that hold work people shouldn't be losing.
- Backup monitoring: someone watching the job that didn't run last night.
Business continuity plans
- A written BCP: short, honest, and actually usable when the WiFi is down and the panic is up.
- Recovery time objectives agreed with you. How long can you be down, realistically?
- Run books for the handful of scenarios you're most likely to hit.
- ISO 27001 and regulator-friendly documentation where your industry needs it.
Ransomware readiness
- Immutable backups so attackers can't encrypt the only copy of your data.
- Recovery rehearsals: at least one person who has actually restored something from scratch.
- Incident response linkage: BCP and incident response planning should be one thing, not two documents.
- Cyber insurance prep: meeting the controls insurers now quietly require before they'll pay out.
The best time was last year.
The second-best time is a two-week engagement that gives you tested backup, a short written BCP, and one less thing to lose sleep over.
