Backup and recovery worksheet
Be ready to recover.
Know what a restore would take before you need one.
A backup label alone does not tell a business what data is covered, who checks failures, or how work resumes after an incident. WOLFTRAXX SYSTEMS can help turn those unknowns into a recovery discussion grounded in the systems and deadlines that matter to your operation.
Know what a restore would take before you need one.
Know what matters
-
Systems that would interrupt operations if unavailable:
-
Which must come back first?
-
How long could the business run without each?
-
Who owns each system, and who is the vendor contact?
Know what is backed up today
-
Where are copies kept?
-
How often?
-
What is NOT covered?
-
How far back could a file or system be recovered?
-
At least one copy separate from the office network and main cloud account?
Prove it works
-
A restore has been tested?
-
When, by whom, and what was restored?
-
Restore steps documented somewhere that survives the outage?
Plan for the bad day
-
First-response path written down (who is called, who decides, what first)?
-
Vendor, insurance, and provider contacts available offline?
-
Who owns backups going forward?
