Order a recovery planning cycle

Arrange a basic backup and recovery planning cycle.

Recovery readiness

A backup is useful only when it is protected and can be restored

  1. PrioritizeCritical data, services, owners, dependencies
  2. ProtectSeparated copies and limited deletion rights
  3. MonitorCoverage, failures, age, and access
  4. TestRestore against defined recovery targets
  5. RespondStop and preserve during an incident
  6. RecoverRestore clean services by authorized priority

Business priorities guide coverage; separation, least privilege, monitoring, and restore tests create evidence that recovery can work.

Arrange in the correct order
  1. 1. Assign improvements and schedule the next test
  2. 2. Record recovery time, gaps, failures, and evidence
  3. 3. Run an authorized restoration test
  4. 4. Define approved protected and separated backups
  5. 5. Identify critical services, data, owners, and dependencies
