Most technology problems aren’t disasters — until data is lost, systems won’t start, or access is suddenly gone.
A Backup & Disaster Readiness Review looks calmly and realistically at how prepared you are for things going wrong, without assuming the worst or pushing expensive solutions.
The goal is simple: to understand what would happen if something failed, and whether the current setup gives you a reasonable path to recovery.
What this review focuses on
This review may include:
- How and where important data is backed up
- Whether backups are automatic, manual, or inconsistent
- What would happen if a key device failed or was lost
- Whether backups have ever been tested or restored
- Identification of gaps that could cause unnecessary downtime
This is not a technical audit designed to overwhelm — it’s a practical review based on how you actually work.
What this isn’t
This review is not about:
- Creating complex disaster recovery plans
- Selling enterprise-grade solutions
- Assuming 24/7 uptime is required
For many small organisations, simple, well-understood backups are far more effective than complicated systems no one checks.
What you gain
After the review, you’ll have:
- A clearer picture of how protected your data really is
- An understanding of what risks exist today
- Practical options to improve resilience, if needed
- Confidence that backups align with how your business operates
If something doesn’t need changing, I’ll say so.
When this is worth considering
A Backup & Disaster Readiness Review is often useful if:
- Data loss would significantly disrupt your work
- Backups have “just always been there” but never reviewed
- Multiple people rely on the same systems or files
- You want reassurance rather than panic-driven changes
As always, there’s no pressure to proceed beyond the review itself.
