A backup is the beginning
of a recovery plan
Backups matter, but recovery also needs clear priorities, access and tested steps.
Identify essential work
Start with the activities your business must resume, then identify the systems and data they need.
Check backup coverage
Confirm what is backed up, how often and who can access it.
Write the recovery steps
Record the order of restoration, responsibilities, contacts and required credentials. Keep credentials secure.
Test a restore
Restore a suitable sample, check it works and record the time and problems encountered.
Keep the plan current
Review the plan when systems, staff or business priorities change.
