Backup & Disaster Recovery
Design and implement a backup strategy with automated backups, off-site storage, retention policies, and disaster recovery procedures with defined RPO/RTO.
No backups means one bad deploy, one disk failure, or one hacker away from losing everything. Manual backups are forgotten, untested, and often fail when you need them most.
We implement automated backups with verification, off-site storage, and tested restore procedures. When disaster strikes, you recover in minutes instead of days.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I back up?
Databases: every 6-12 hours minimum. Application data: daily. Configuration files: on every change. We set RPO/RTO based on your business needs.
Where are backups stored?
We recommend a different provider from your primary. S3-compatible storage (Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Hetzner Storage Box) for cost-effective off-site backup.
How long do you keep backups?
Typical policy: daily for 7 days, weekly for 4 weeks, monthly for 12 months. We customize based on compliance requirements and storage budget.
Can you set up database-specific backups?
Yes. We configure pg_dump for PostgreSQL, mysqldump for MySQL, mongodump for MongoDB — with proper locking and consistency guarantees.
