Backups that have never been restored
A backup job that is “green” is not the same as a business that can recover. The boring problem people search for after a failure is “how do I restore” — by then you are already late.
The weekly question
When did you last restore a file, a mailbox, or a full system — on purpose — and time how long it took?
What good looks like
- Known recovery points for email, files, and critical systems
- A tested restore in the last 90 days
- One page that says who runs the restore and in what order
Next step
Discovery includes backup/restore reality, not the brochure version — then a written 90-day plan with budget bands.
