Backup & Disaster Recovery
Ktech plans backup and disaster recovery around tested restores, not just completed backup jobs — so a bad day doesn't become a business-ending one.
A Backup Isn't a Disaster Recovery Plan
Backup
A copy of your data — necessary, but only one part of the picture.
Disaster Recovery
The full plan for getting your business back online — which systems come back first, how long that takes, and who does what.
Most businesses have backups but no real plan for using them under pressure — that gap only becomes obvious at the worst possible time.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
A simple, well-established framework: keep three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy kept off-site. It ensures a single point of failure — a fire, theft, or hardware failure — can't wipe out your only copy.
A Completed Backup Job Isn't the Same as a Working Backup
This catches businesses out more often than you'd think — a backup job can report success while the actual data is incomplete or corrupted. The only way to actually know a backup works is to test restoring from it, not just check that the job finished without an error.
Backups as a Ransomware Defence
A good backup strategy is one of the most effective defences against ransomware, since it lets you restore clean data rather than negotiating with attackers — provided the backups themselves weren't also compromised, which is exactly why offline or otherwise isolated copies matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the full plan for getting your business back online after something goes wrong — which systems come back first, how long that takes, and who does what. Most businesses have backups but no real plan for using them under pressure.
Keep three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy kept off-site. It's a simple, well-established framework for making sure a single point of failure — a fire, theft, or hardware failure — can't wipe out your only copy.
No, and this catches businesses out more often than you'd think. A backup job can report success while the actual data is incomplete or corrupted. The only way to know a backup genuinely works is to test restoring from it.
Regularly, not just when you set the system up. A backup you haven't tested recently is an assumption, not a safety net — plenty of businesses discover a gap only when they actually need to restore.
A good backup strategy is one of the most effective defences against ransomware, since it lets you restore clean data rather than negotiating with attackers — provided the backups themselves weren't also compromised, which is why offline or immutable copies matter.
This depends entirely on what failed and how your backups are structured — a single server with good backups can be quick, while a larger, more complex failure takes longer. We give realistic estimates based on your actual setup, not a generic promise.
Both — we configure the backup systems themselves and help plan the practical steps for actually using them if something goes wrong.
