Most organisations have backups. Very few organisations have tested them. The difference only matters when a ransomware attack encrypts your servers at 2am, a server fails the morning before a critical deadline, or an administrator accidentally deletes a year of financial records. Infraspine builds backup and disaster recovery solutions with tested recovery processes — because a backup you have never successfully restored from is not a backup.
Every Infraspine backup deployment is architected to comply with the 3-2-1 rule — the industry standard that has saved businesses from data loss for decades.
Data Loss Scenarios We Protect Against
What Good Backup Monitoring Looks Like
Six service lines from automated cloud backup through to full disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
Automated, encrypted cloud backup for servers, workstations, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads — with daily backup verification and monthly recovery tests so you know your backups actually work, not just that files are being copied. Veeam Cloud Connect, Acronis Cyber Protect, and Azure Backup are our primary platforms depending on your environment. Retention policies configured to match your regulatory and business continuity requirements. Backup monitoring with alert notifications for any failed job.
A Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) appliance installed on your premises that takes frequent image-based snapshots of your servers (as often as every 15 minutes), stores them locally for fast recovery, and replicates them to cloud storage for offsite protection. In the event of a server failure, the BDR appliance can boot and run your server as a virtual machine within minutes — providing continuity while your primary infrastructure is repaired or rebuilt. This is the fastest path to recovery for physical and virtual server environments.
Cloud-hosted disaster recovery that allows your entire server environment to fail over to a secondary cloud site in under an hour — giving your business the business continuity capabilities that previously only large enterprises with secondary data centres could afford. DRaaS using Azure Site Recovery, Veeam Cloud Connect Replication, or Zerto replicates your on-premise or cloud VMs continuously to the DR site and maintains runbooks for orderly failover with pre-agreed RTO and RPO targets.
Standard backup is not sufficient protection against ransomware because ransomware encrypts backup files along with production data. Immutable backup storage — using object-lock technology on AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Wasabi — creates backup copies that cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware, even if it compromises your backup server credentials. Air-gapped tape backup provides a completely offline copy for maximum protection. All Infraspine backup deployments include immutable storage as standard.
A disaster recovery plan that exists only as a document is almost as dangerous as having no plan at all — it creates false confidence without testing whether recovery actually works as planned. Infraspine's BCP service starts with a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifying your critical systems and their maximum tolerable downtime, develops a written Business Continuity Plan with step-by-step recovery procedures, and conducts live failover exercises at least annually to validate that the plan works.
File-level backup of a running database is not a valid database backup — restoring from it often produces a corrupt or inconsistent database state. Infraspine configures application-consistent backups for SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MongoDB using transaction-log backup and native dump utilities to ensure restored databases are in a fully consistent, usable state. Database backup windows are coordinated with application teams to avoid impacting performance during business hours.
