Backup & DR Verification

What We Assess

8 Areas We Examine

Backup Coverage

Which systems are backed up? Which are not? Any gaps in critical data?

Backup Frequency and Retention

How often? How long retained? Does retention match your compliance requirements?

Offsite / Air-Gapped Copy

Is there a copy that ransomware cannot reach? Cloud backup? Tape offsite?

Restoration Testing

When was the last time you restored from backup? Did it work? How long did it take?

RTO and RPO Definition

Is your Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective documented and signed off by management?

DR Site

Do you have a secondary site? Is it tested? What is the activation procedure?

Database Backup Integrity

Are database backups consistent? Are transaction logs captured?

Backup Access Controls

Who can delete backups? Is backup deletion logged and alerted?

Who This Assessment Is For

Every organisation that cannot afford to lose data. Most companies think their backups work. Most have never tested restoration under pressure.

Common Findings We Uncover

Backups running but never tested for restoration

Backup stored only on same server being backed up

Ransomware encrypted both production and backup

No offsite copy — single point of failure

RTO/RPO not defined — no basis for DR planning

Compliance Frameworks Mapped

We run daily backups — aren't we fine?

Running backups and having working backups are different things. If you've never tested restoration, you don't actually know if your backups work.

How long does a backup DR assessment take?

Under 10 minutes for the questionnaire. The findings often surprise organisations that thought they were well-prepared.

Can SpectraAgent verify backup integrity?

Yes — SpectraAgent in audit mode can verify backup job status, last successful run, and perform a test restore of a non-critical file.
