Retention by requirement
Daily, weekly and longer-term copies are selected around business and compliance needs.
Recovery you can explain and test
Backups are useful only when they are separated, retained and restorable.
BLCS Global designs backup and disaster-recovery arrangements around what must be restored, how much data can be lost and how quickly the service needs to return. The result may range from managed file and database backups to replicated infrastructure in a separate location.
Separated storage
Copies can be held away from the primary server or location.
Restore planning
Recovery time and verification are discussed before an incident occurs.
01 / Recovery you can explain and test
RPO and RTO in plain language
Recovery point objective describes how much recent data the business could lose. Recovery time objective describes how quickly the service should return.
- Data-change frequency
- Business impact of interruption
- Dependency and credential recovery
- Communication during restoration
02 / Recovery you can explain and test
Different failures need different recovery
A deleted file, failed disk, compromised server and unavailable datacentre are not the same event. The backup design should address the relevant scenarios.
- File and database restore
- Full server rebuild
- Off-site recovery
- Documented recovery sequence

Frequently asked questions
Service-specific availability, lead times and responsibilities are confirmed in the final quotation.
Are backups included with every plan?
Backup features vary by service. The published shared plans and each quotation state what is included and what is optional.
How often should restores be tested?
The frequency should reflect business risk. Critical systems benefit from scheduled test restores and documented results.
Is RAID a backup?
No. RAID improves tolerance of certain disk failures but does not protect against deletion, corruption, compromise or site loss.
