Recovery confidence for the systems your business cannot afford to lose.
Backups are only useful when recovery is understood, documented and proven. Revelate Systems reviews protection coverage, restore paths, system dependencies and recovery priorities across business-critical infrastructure.
A successful backup job is not the same as a recoverable business.
A backup platform can report success while critical workloads remain incomplete, isolated, untested or dependent on systems that will not be available during an outage.
We assess the full recovery chain: what is protected, where copies reside, how systems depend on one another, who owns the response and whether the restoration sequence is practical under pressure.
The objective is not more backup software. It is a recovery position that can be explained, tested and improved.
Evidence across the complete recovery chain.
Protection Coverage
Confirm which systems, data sets and configurations are protected, how frequently copies are taken and where material gaps remain.
Restore Validation
Test or evidence agreed restore paths so successful job reports are supported by practical recovery confidence.
Recovery Priorities
Define the order in which services should return using business impact, dependencies and realistic recovery objectives.
Storage & Workload Resilience
Review protection for servers, virtual infrastructure, NAS and shared storage, cloud workloads, archives and critical configuration.
Recovery Documentation
Create concise runbooks, escalation paths, ownership records, vendor contacts and handover-ready recovery procedures.
Improvement Roadmap
Prioritise practical changes that reduce recovery time, data-loss exposure and uncertainty without unnecessary platform churn.
From assumed protection to a recovery position that can be defended.
- STAGE 01
Understand
Map critical services, data, dependencies, existing protection and current operational constraints.
- STAGE 02
Prioritise
Agree business impact, recovery sequence and practical recovery-time and recovery-point objectives for each workload.
- STAGE 03
Validate
Review backup evidence, test selected restore paths and record limitations, dependencies and recovery decisions.
- STAGE 04
Improve
Deliver prioritised remediation, recovery documentation and an ongoing validation cadence matched to operational risk.
Recovery planning shaped around the systems that carry operational consequence.
Coverage is agreed according to business impact, technical dependencies and the practical boundaries of the engagement.
- Servers and virtual infrastructure
- Business storage platforms and critical data
- Microsoft 365 and cloud workloads
- Business applications and databases
- Network, firewall, identity and access configuration
- Endpoints or specialist systems where included in scope
Clear evidence, practical decisions and a recovery path your team can use.
- Current-state protection and recovery assessment
- Prioritised risk and gap register
- Workload recovery-priority matrix
- Restore-test records or evidence review
- Recovery runbook and escalation map
- Prioritised improvement roadmap
Final deliverables depend on the agreed scope, available systems and the level of recovery validation authorised for the engagement.
Start with evidence, then decide what needs to change.
Engagements can begin as a fixed-scope recovery-readiness review. Findings can then be handed to your internal team or existing providers, progressed into a defined remediation project, or incorporated into ongoing operational oversight.
Common questions about backup and disaster recovery.
Backup protects copies of data and configuration. Disaster recovery defines how systems, dependencies and operational services are restored after a failure. A credible recovery position combines protected copies with priorities, responsibilities, documented procedures and validated restore paths.
The agreed scope can include evidence review, selected restore testing and documented recovery exercises. Testing is planned carefully so it does not create unnecessary risk to production systems.
Yes. An engagement does not automatically require a replacement platform. The first step is to establish what the existing environment protects, what can be recovered and where material limitations remain.
Coverage can include servers, virtual infrastructure, NAS and shared storage, Microsoft 365, cloud workloads, applications, databases, network configuration, identity systems and other operationally important platforms.
Recovery expectations depend on the workload, available protection, technical dependencies and the level of investment justified by the business impact. Practical recovery-time and recovery-point objectives are agreed for each relevant system rather than applying one unsupported promise to the entire environment.
Yes. Revelate Systems can provide an independent review, support a shared remediation plan or work with existing technical teams and vendors to clarify responsibilities and improve the recovery position.
