Backup, Recovery & Business Continuity

A green backup job is not the same as a tested recovery plan.

Backups matter only when the right systems and data can be restored within the time the business can tolerate. Hopp Solutions reviews and designs backup environments around recoverability, retention, security, capacity and clear operational ownership across servers, virtual machines and Microsoft 365.

When this service is a fit

Signs this service is the right next step.

  • iconBackup jobs usually complete, but restore tests are rare or undocumented.
  • iconThe organization cannot state realistic recovery-point or recovery-time targets.
  • iconBackups are stored too close to production or lack immutability and off-site protection.
  • iconMicrosoft 365 data is treated as fully protected by the platform without a separate backup strategy.
  • iconRepository capacity, retention growth or proxy performance is becoming difficult to manage.
  • iconA migration or infrastructure change requires a new backup and recovery architecture.
  • iconRecovery responsibilities depend on one person or an outdated runbook.

What we deliver

Recoverability designed, implemented and proven.

icon

Backup architecture review

Assess protected workloads, job design, repositories, proxies, encryption, retention, off-site copies, monitoring and operational ownership.

icon

Veeam design and implementation

Design or improve Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 environments.

icon

RPO and RTO definition

Translate business tolerance into recovery-point and recovery-time targets for different systems and data classes.

icon

Retention and capacity planning

Model expected data growth, change rate, retention, full backups, immutability windows and repository headroom.

icon

Off-site and immutable protection

Reduce the risk that production compromise, operator error or ransomware affects every usable copy.

icon

Restore testing

Validate file, application, virtual machine and Microsoft 365 recovery according to an agreed schedule.

icon

Recovery runbooks

Document prerequisites, access, order of recovery, dependencies, validation, communication and escalation.

icon

Disaster-recovery planning

Define recovery scenarios, alternate infrastructure, responsibilities, decision authority and exercise cadence.

icon

Ongoing backup supervision

Review failures, warnings, capacity, restore commitments and remediation under a managed service scope.

Recoverability framework

QuestionExpected output
What must be recovered first?Business-priority tiers and application dependencies
How much data loss is acceptable?RPO by service or data class
How long can the service be unavailable?RTO by service or business process
Where are usable copies stored?Repository, off-site and immutability design
Who can start and approve recovery?Named roles and escalation authority
How do we know recovery works?Scheduled restore tests and documented evidence

How the engagement works

Assess. Design. Implement. Validate.

01

Assess

Review business requirements, protected systems, backup infrastructure, job history, storage, security and known incidents.

02

Design

Define recovery tiers, retention, architecture, capacity, security controls, test scope and operating responsibilities.

03

Implement

Configure or remediate the environment, migrate jobs where needed and create monitoring and documentation.

04

Validate

Perform representative restores, record results, address findings and establish the future test schedule.

Typical deliverables

  • Backup and recoverability assessment report.
  • Protected-workload inventory and recovery priority matrix.
  • RPO/RTO recommendations.
  • Backup architecture and data-flow diagram.
  • Retention and capacity model.
  • Repository and immutability recommendations.
  • Restore-test plan and evidence record.
  • Recovery runbooks and escalation contacts.
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap.

Platforms and data

  • Veeam Backup & Replication
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365
  • VMware workloads
  • Windows Server
  • Microsoft 365
  • SharePoint Online
  • Teams
  • OneDrive
  • Exchange Online
  • Cloud and on-premises repositories

Backup credentials, repositories, encryption keys, administration paths and deletion protection must be treated as part of the security architecture, not only the backup configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Microsoft provides platform resilience and retention features, but each organization must define how it will recover deleted, corrupted or maliciously changed data within its own business and compliance requirements.

The schedule should follow criticality, change and risk. Critical services usually require more frequent and more complete tests than low-priority data. The agreed plan should define what is restored, how it is validated and who accepts the result.

Yes. The first step can be a focused architecture, configuration, capacity and recoverability review.

No. Job status confirms that a backup process completed. It does not prove that every dependency, credential, application step or business validation required for recovery is available.

Backup protects data and systems. Disaster recovery defines how business services are restored after a major outage, including infrastructure, order of recovery, people, communication and validation.

Yes, under an agreed scope that defines review frequency, alert handling, remediation authority, restore testing and reporting.

A Backup & Recoverability Assessment identifies coverage, capacity, security and restore gaps before they become a business interruption.
