What is backup and recovery

Recoverable Copies of Everything That Matters

Backup creates recoverable copies of important data and systems. Recovery is the process of restoring those copies when production data is lost, corrupted or unavailable.

A complete approach considers backup frequency, retention, storage location, recovery priorities and how quickly systems must be restored, designed around your infrastructure rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.

  • Backup

  • Retain

  • Verify

Backup strategy

Backup Built Around Business Risk

Every workload carries a different level of risk. A backup strategy sets the right protection for each one.

  • Backup frequency

    The right backup interval for each workload.

  • Retention policy

    How long backup versions are kept.

  • Backup location

    Backup data separated from production storage where appropriate.

  • Recovery priority

    Which systems must be restored first.

  • Capacity planning

    Backup storage planned around data growth and retention.

  • Recovery testing

    Periodic recovery validation built into operations.

Backup and recovery insights

Enterprise Backup and Recovery: Objectives, Retention and Restoration

An overview for IT teams responsible for data protection: how recovery objectives shape backup design, how retention is structured and which recovery options to plan for.

Recovery objectives: RPO and RTO

Two objectives define how a backup and recovery solution should be designed. Agreeing them first ensures the architecture matches business expectations.

ObjectiveWhat it representsDesign impact
RPOHow much recent data the organisation can tolerate losingLower RPO requires more frequent backups or replication
RTOHow quickly a system should be restored after an incidentRecovery architecture is designed to meet the required window

Retention planning

Retention defines how long backup copies are kept before they are rotated or removed. A tiered approach balances recovery flexibility against storage capacity:

TierPurpose
DailyRecent operational restore points
WeeklyExtended rollback points
MonthlyLonger-term retention
CustomRetention according to business policy
ArchivalLong-term storage where required

Recovery options

Not every incident requires a full system restore. Planning for different recovery types shortens the path back to normal operations:

Recovery typeWhat it restores
File recoverySelected files or directories, where supported
Database recoverySupported database backup sets
Server recoverySupported server workloads from available backups
VM recoveryEligible virtual machines and workload data
Point-in-time recoveryAn available historical restore point, where supported
Custom recoveryWorkflows for complex application environments

Separating backups from production

A backup stored on the same system as the data it protects can be lost in the same incident. Keeping backup data separate from primary production storage, and maintaining a secondary offsite copy, protects against hardware failure, accidental deletion and site-level events.

A widely used guideline is the 3-2-1 approach: three copies of data, on two different types of storage, with one copy offsite. Dedicated backup storage provides the capacity to support it.

Preparing a backup and recovery proposal

The following information helps our team recommend the right architecture:

  • Systems to protect: servers, VMs, databases or files
  • Total data size and expected growth
  • Required backup frequency and retention period
  • RPO and RTO targets for critical systems
  • Offsite copy or disaster recovery requirements

Share these details through the backup and recovery proposal form and our team will recommend a solution.

Backup glossary

Key Backup and Recovery Terminology

Backup
A recoverable copy of data or systems, kept separately from the production copy.
Restore point
A specific backup version from which data can be recovered.
Retention
How long backup copies or restore points are kept before rotation or removal.
RPO
Recovery Point Objective: the acceptable amount of data loss, measured in time.
RTO
Recovery Time Objective: the target time to restore a system after an incident.
Offsite backup
A backup copy stored away from the primary production location.
Full backup
A complete copy of the selected data at a point in time.
Incremental backup
A backup of only the data that changed since the previous backup.
Point-in-time recovery
Restoring data to its state at a specific earlier moment.
Backup verification
Checking that backups completed and can be restored successfully.
Frequently asked questions

Backup and Recovery Questions Answered

Have a question about your data protection? Share your requirements and our team will advise.

Ask Our Data Protection Team
What is backup and recovery?

Backup creates recoverable copies of data, while recovery restores that data when the production copy becomes unavailable or unusable.

Can you back up dedicated servers?

Yes. Backup solutions can be designed for eligible dedicated server environments according to platform and technical requirements.

Can virtual machines be backed up?

Yes. Supported virtual environments can be included in a backup architecture according to platform capabilities.

How frequently should backups run?

Backup frequency depends on how frequently data changes and how much recent data the organisation can tolerate losing.

What is backup retention?

Retention defines how long backup copies or restore points are preserved before they are rotated or removed.

What are RPO and RTO?

RPO represents acceptable data loss measured in time, while RTO represents the target time for restoring a system after an incident.

Is backup the same as disaster recovery?

No. Backup primarily protects data, while disaster recovery covers the broader process of restoring applications, infrastructure and business services.

Can HostGraber design a custom backup solution?

Yes. Backup architecture can be designed around data size, retention, frequency, storage, recovery and workload requirements.

Are backups tested?

Backup jobs and available restore points are validated during deployment, and periodic recovery testing can be included in ongoing operations.

How do I get started with backup and recovery?
