Scope & retention planning
Identify the systems and data to protect, with retention needs discussed up front.
Build a backup and recovery approach around your business data, essential systems and the consequences of an interruption.
A useful backup plan starts with recovery. We help you identify which information matters, how much recent work you could afford to lose and how quickly important services need to return. Those priorities guide the backup scope, retention choices and the checks needed to understand whether restores work as intended.
