Unknown backup coverage
Organizations cannot clearly confirm which data, systems and configurations are included.

Backup & Disaster Recovery Planning
Plan how important data and business services will be recovered. Digital Sarathi helps organizations assess backup coverage, define recovery priorities and validate agreed restoration procedures.
START WITH THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
What needs to work better?
Untested recovery
A successful backup task does not by itself demonstrate that a service can be restored.
Unclear responsibilities
Teams need agreed priorities, recovery steps and decision owners during an incident.
HOW DIGITAL SARATHI HELPSPractical capabilities.
Practical capabilities.
Clearly defined work.
Scope the right combination of consulting, implementation, integration and support for your environment.
Backup assessment
Review important workloads, existing copies and administration responsibilities.
Recovery priorities
Discuss business needs and define recovery objectives for the systems in scope.
Backup architecture
Plan appropriate storage, access and separation of backup copies.
Recovery runbooks
Document the steps and dependencies required to restore agreed services.
Restoration testing
Scope practical tests that validate data and service recovery.
Ongoing review
Review changes to workloads, ownership and backup coverage.
TYPICAL PROJECT SCOPE
Know what the engagement includes.
Every proposal should clarify deliverables, dependencies and responsibilities. A typical scope may include the following, adapted to your requirements.
- Critical-system and data inventory
- Backup gap assessment
- Recovery objectives and dependency review
- Backup configuration and recovery runbooks
- Documented restore-test results and follow-up actions
Technologies & platforms
The final selection depends on your existing environment, requirements and licensing.
Relevant organizations
- Financial services
- Manufacturing
- Healthcare
- SMEs
THE IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
From understanding to adoption.
Identify
Establish which data and business services require recovery planning.
Design
Agree objectives, backup coverage, ownership and dependencies.
Implement
Configure the agreed solution and document recovery procedures.
Test and review
Perform scoped restoration tests and review the identified gaps.
AFTER IMPLEMENTATIONA support model,
A support model,
not an afterthought.
Ongoing support can include backup monitoring coordination, scheduled restore tests and review of changed workloads. Recovery times depend on the agreed architecture, scope and incident conditions.
Discuss ongoing IT supportCOMMON QUESTIONSWhat to know
What to know
before you start.
Have a question about your specific environment? Discuss it with our team.
Is backup the same as disaster recovery?
Backup concerns copies of data or systems. Disaster recovery also considers how services, dependencies, people and procedures come together after disruption.
Can you test our current backups?
A restoration test can be scoped with system owners, using appropriate authorization and a controlled test plan.
Do you promise a fixed recovery time?
Not before assessment. Recovery objectives, dependencies and any commitments must be explicitly agreed and tested.
