Protect the work.
Plan the recovery.
Your business depends on information you cannot simply replace. Firmlinx helps plan backup and protection around your important data, with recovery considered from the start.
- Important data first
- A recovery-minded plan
- Clear responsibilities
Identify the information your business needs to keep.
Think about getting back to work.
A useful backup plan starts with what matters, how it is stored and what you would need to recover. We help make those decisions clear before something goes wrong.
Know what to protect.
Identify the files, devices, servers and cloud workloads that need attention, along with the people who depend on them.
- Business-critical information
- Systems and cloud workloads
- A clearly defined backup scope
Choose the right protection.
Review storage, access and retention needs so the proposed backup approach fits your environment and your business priorities.
- Retention requirements
- Access and storage arrangements
- Backup-job visibility
Make recovery practical.
Discuss how data would be restored, who needs to be involved and how agreed recovery checks will be carried out.
- Restore requirements
- Recovery responsibilities
- Agreed testing and review
From the first conversation
to a working plan.
Start with your environment, agree the right scope and keep responsibility clear as the work moves forward.
Map your important information.
We discuss where your data lives, which systems matter most and what the effect of losing access would be.
- Data sources and dependencies
- Existing backup arrangements
- Business recovery priorities
Supported workloads, storage location, retention, restore targets and testing frequency are confirmed in the proposal. Backup and recovery arrangements vary by solution.
Protection that starts with your business.
Different information has different recovery needs. Let’s identify yours.
Files and business records
Plan protection for the information your team creates and uses every day.
Let’s discuss thisServers and key systems
Look at the systems behind operations, including the dependencies needed for recovery.
Let’s discuss thisCloud information
Review which cloud workloads are covered and where additional protection may be appropriate.
Let’s discuss thisA few good
questions.
Bring your current setup, your questions or the problem you want to solve. We’ll help make the next step clearer.
Is cloud storage the same as backup?
Synchronisation, version history and backup serve different purposes. We review what your existing services provide and where a separate backup or retention arrangement is needed.
Can we protect Microsoft 365 data?
We can discuss the Microsoft 365 workloads you use and the available protection options. Covered services, retention and restore capabilities depend on the selected solution.
How quickly can we recover?
Recovery depends on the data, systems, connectivity and solution involved. We discuss recovery priorities and confirm the proposed targets and limitations in the service scope.
How much backup storage do we need?
The amount of data is one part of the calculation. Retention, change rates, the number of systems and recovery requirements also influence the proposed storage arrangement.
