Question 1

What is the difference between RTO and RPO?

Accepted Answer

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you need to be back online after a disaster. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data loss you can tolerate — measured in time since the last backup. We define both targets with you and design the DR strategy to meet them.

Question 2

How do you test that backups actually work?

Accepted Answer

We automate restore verification on a schedule. Backups are restored to isolated environments, validated for integrity, and the results are logged. You get proof that your backups are recoverable — not just proof that a backup job ran.

Question 3

Can you set up cross-region replication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We configure cross-region and cross-cloud replication for databases, object storage, and critical state. The replication strategy depends on your RTO/RPO targets and budget — from asynchronous replication to active-active setups.

Question 4

Do you run DR drills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We plan and support quarterly disaster recovery drills where your team practices the failover procedure. Drills reveal gaps in runbooks, identify slow steps, and build confidence that the plan works when it matters.

Question 5

What do you back up — just databases?

Accepted Answer

We back up everything critical — databases, object storage, application state, configuration, secrets, and infrastructure definitions. The scope is defined during the initial assessment based on what your business cannot afford to lose.
