Backups are only real when restores are tested
Backup & Disaster Recovery
An untested backup is a hope, not a plan. Scalenta runs managed backup operations and recovery planning for your systems — and tests restores on a schedule, so you know what recovery actually looks like before you need it.
Overview
Backup problems are quiet. Jobs stop, schedules overlap, storage fills, someone disables a task — and nobody notices until the day the data is needed. By then it is too late to find out for the first time.
Scalenta treats backup as an operating discipline: coverage agreed against your data's real importance, jobs monitored, failures chased, restores tested and recovery steps documented. When something goes wrong, the process is familiar — because it has been rehearsed.
Scope
What this covers
Backup design
Coverage, schedules and retention matched to how important each data set actually is.
Managed backup operations
Job monitoring, failure triage and follow-through — a backup only counts when it completes.
Scheduled test restores
Real restores, on a schedule, with results recorded. That is the difference between a backup and a belief.
Recovery planning
Recovery objectives defined with you, documented runbooks, and rehearsal before you need them.
Disaster recovery options
Replication, standby infrastructure and failover designs through cloud or partner facilities, scaled to what the business genuinely needs.
Archival support
Long-term retention where compliance or contracts require data to be kept beyond normal backup windows.
Approach
How we work on this
- STEP 01
Assess
What data exists, where it lives, what it is worth, and what losing it would cost.
- STEP 02
Design
Backup coverage, retention and recovery objectives agreed and written down — with realistic trade-offs.
- STEP 03
Operate & test
Jobs monitored continuously, restores tested on a schedule, and results reported to you — including the gaps.
What good looks like
Outcomes we aim for
- Restore tests on a schedule — not a promise.
- Coverage and retention mapped to data importance, not defaults.
- Failures chased and reported, not just logged.
- Recovery steps documented and rehearsed.
