Enterprise Backup & Recovery · The 3-2-1-1-0 Rule

Enterprise backup and data recovery: resume operations within the time you agreed.

A backup only matters if it can be restored. We design immutable copies, define RPO and RTO by workload and verify them through documented recovery tests.

Illustrative scenario: the backup that fails silently until it is needed.

An operation attempts to restore after an attack and discovers incomplete jobs, ignored alerts or unvalidated copies. This is a composite scenario, not a customer case: the way to know the real RTO is to run and document a recovery test.

Backups that fail without alerting

A job that reports success on the surface, but a corrupted restore. Without regular verification, backups are just a simulation of protection.

Ransomware targeting local copies

Modern attacks go after your backup servers first. If they aren't immutable and isolated, they get encrypted right alongside production.

BITS Managed Backup model

24/7 log monitoring, immutable WORM storage and weekly automated full-restore drills in isolated environments.

CORRUPTED BACKUP SYSTEM DETECTED

THE 3-2-1-1-0 RULE

Immutable infrastructure against ransomware

We don't cross our fingers and hope it works. We implement the golden rule of resilience to shield your data from any hijack attempt.

3 Copies on 2 Media

We keep three backup copies of your files (1 active production copy and 2 backups) stored on two different physical media types (e.g., high-performance local SSD and public cloud) to mitigate the risk of faulty hardware.

1 Off-Site + 1 Immutable

We keep at least one backup copy outside your physical offices (AWS/Azure Cloud). We also configure immutable (WORM) storage that prevents an attacker or ransomware from modifying, deleting or encrypting the backups.

0 Errors (Zero Validation)

Our engineers schedule and run automated restore tests weekly in an isolated sandbox environment. If a backup can't be fully brought up, the system immediately triggers a critical alert to our operations center.

QUICK ASSESSMENT

How long would your company take to recover from an attack?

IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY

5 phases to build a real DRP

From a thorough inventory to continuous drills. We handle the entire backup lifecycle.

1

Inventory and Audit

We map your physical/virtual servers and databases, identifying critical network dependencies.

2

Policy Design

We define backup windows and acceptable RTO/RPO according to your operational guidelines.

3

Immutable Deployment

We install lightweight agents and start immutable replication on AWS/Azure clouds and local physical storage.

4

DR Testing

We simulate a full attack in an isolated virtual sandbox, forcing failover to validate RTO.

5

Monitoring and Alerts

SOC/NOC support reviews logs every morning, resolving any restore anomaly immediately.

DR DIAGNOSIS

When was the last time you restored a critical server?

A 30-minute session with a BITS continuity architect. We review your backup policy, validate real RPO/RTO and deliver a prioritized ransomware-hardening plan.
