How Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) Works
Protecting critical data and ensuring business continuity can feel complex and overwhelming. With the right strategy and partner, however, backup and disaster recovery becomes a proactive, reliable safeguard, not a reactive scramble. Here’s what to expect when Ardham Technologies helps you design and implement a comprehensive BDR solution.
Step 1: Assess your data and risk profile
Every business has different data, systems, and tolerance for downtime. The first step in building an effective backup and disaster recovery strategy is understanding what you need to protect and how quickly you need to recover it. We work closely with your team to evaluate:
- Critical systems, applications, and data that support daily operations
- Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs)
- Risks such as ransomware, hardware failure, natural disasters, or human error
- Compliance, regulatory, and industry-specific data protection requirements
- Your current backup processes and gaps that could lead to data loss
This assessment ensures your backup and disaster recovery plan is tailored to your business, not a generic solution that leaves you exposed.
Step 2: Design the right backup and recovery strategy
Not all backup solutions are created equal. Based on your environment and business needs, Ardham designs a strategy that balances security, performance, and cost. This may include:
- Cloud-based backup solutions for scalable, offsite data protection
- Hybrid backup models that combine on-premises and cloud recovery
- Immutable backups to protect against ransomware and cyberattacks
- Application-aware backups for servers, virtual machines, and SaaS platforms
- Automated backup scheduling and retention policies
Our goal is to ensure your data is always protected, accessible, and recoverable, without unnecessary complexity.
Step 3: Implement and test disaster recovery
Once your backup solution is in place, disaster recovery planning begins. This step focuses on making sure your business can continue operating during unexpected disruptions. We handle:
- Secure deployment of backup and replication technologies
- Configuration of disaster recovery environments and failover systems
- Data replication to secure offsite or cloud locations
- Regular testing of recovery processes to validate performance and reliability
By testing disaster recovery scenarios in advance, we eliminate guesswork and ensure your team is prepared when it matters most.
Step 4: Monitor, manage, and improve
Backup and disaster recovery is not something set up and then ignored. Ardham offers ongoing monitoring, management, and optimization to ensure your protection evolves alongside your business. This includes:
- Continuous monitoring of backup success and data integrity
- Proactive alerts and issue resolution
- Regular reviews of recovery objectives and storage usage
- Adjustments to accommodate growth, new applications, or changing compliance needs
With proactive management, you gain confidence that your data protection strategy will perform when you need it most.
