Is cloud backup enough?

Not always. Cloud backup can be part of the strategy, but retention, recoverability, ransomware resilience, and scope all matter.

How often should backups run?

That depends on how often important data changes and how much loss the business can tolerate. Recovery goals should guide the schedule.

Do you test restores?

Restore testing can be included or scoped as a follow-up service. Testing is one of the most important parts of a usable backup plan.

Can this protect against ransomware?

A strong backup and recovery plan can reduce the damage from ransomware, but it does not guarantee prevention or eliminate the need for other security controls.

What does disaster recovery mean?

Disaster recovery is the plan for how systems and data get restored after an outage, cyber incident, failure, or other major disruption.

Is backup storage included?

Storage may be included or billed separately depending on the selected tools, retention goals, and scope defined in the proposal.
