Solution · Backup & DR

Backups that actually work.
Restore tested, not just claimed.

Incremental snapshots, encrypted offsite copies, monthly restore drill. The business continuity NIS2 asks for, and that your CFO can put in budget.

The problem

Three things we almost always find on a new customer.

01
// anti-pattern · backup

Backups exist, but nobody has ever actually restored them.

The plan is there, the schedule runs, the last log lines say "OK". The question that matters — how many minutes to recover? — nobody has ever asked it cold.

02
// anti-pattern · backup

Copies live in the same datacenter as the data.

If the rack burns down, your backups are under the rubble. For NIS2 and for the contracts you sign with your customers, one location is no longer enough.

03
// anti-pattern · backup

Ransomware that also encrypts your network backups.

An SMB share mounted on the compromised server is the first target. You need immutable copies, out of reach.

How we run it

Backups, offsite copies, restore drill. Run by the same team that takes care of the rest of your stack.

Backup & DR doesn’t live in a silo. It’s a capability that runs on top of the infrastructure we already know or audit, and that produces a verifiable artifact every month: the restore drill report. No marketing PDF — a real log of what we restored, in how long, with what outcome.

  • Snapshots incremental and consistent, not just file-level.
  • Encrypted offsite copies, always on a second EU location.
  • Monthly documented restore drill, RTO/RPO tested.
  • Same team from single site to HA cluster.

Expected results

Concrete numbers, verifiable any time.

The metrics we publish here are the ones we sign in the contract and that we actually measure. No cover-page promises.

RPO 24h

configurable by data category, down to hourly windows on transactional databases

RTO < 2h

on a single large VM, tested monthly, not just stated

12/12

successful restore drills in the last 12 months across the managed portfolio

In production

International publishing network, 3 years of monthly restore drills with no gap.

On Caffeina Media + NEM, an Italian-international multi-title network with over 20 million visits per month, backup is not an add-on: it’s a monthly process that produces a verifiable report and that has already saved a migration cutover under pressure.

FAQ

Questions we get before signing a Backup & DR plan.

If yours is different, write to us: we reply within the day.

My current backups already run, why should I switch?
The difference is not in running the backup. It’s in proving it. Most plans we inherit have never had a documented restore drill — the first one is always during a real incident. We run the drill monthly on isolated environment, with written report, real RTO/RPO not just contractual.
What changes with NIS2?
NIS2 (Italian Legislative Decree 138/2024) imposes documented and tested business continuity measures on essential and important entities, including relevant digital publishers, e-commerce above threshold, public administration. Having existing backups is not enough: you must prove they work. The monthly restore drill report we produce is the proof.
Where do offsite copies end up?
A second European location separate from the primary. Never outside the EU. Client-side encryption before transfer, keys managed contractually with the customer, retention by category — not one plan for everything.
Does this work even if my stack is not already yours?
Yes. Backup & DR is a capability we can run on infrastructure we did not deploy: Proxmox from others, physical servers, cloud VMs. The package includes an initial audit to understand what you already have and what needs integration.
