Data Backup Solutions keep recoverable copies of your data so you can restore files, mailboxes or databases after loss, deletion or corruption. Disaster recovery (DR) is broader — it's about getting your whole system or business running again after a major outage, often by failing over to replicated infrastructure. Backup answers "can I get my data back?"; DR answers "can I keep operating?". Most organisations need both.

RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you can afford to lose, measured in time — a 1-hour RPO means backups at least every hour. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you must be back up after an incident. Tighter targets cost more, so the aim is to match them to what each system genuinely needs. These two numbers should drive your whole backup and DR design.

Modern ransomware deliberately seeks out and encrypts or deletes backups, so simply having backups isn't enough. Immutable backups can't be altered or deleted for a set period, and air-gapped copies are isolated from your network — so even if attackers reach your systems, they can't touch your recovery data. That lets you restore clean rather than pay a ransom, which is why we prioritise these features.

It's worth understanding the shared-responsibility model: the provider keeps the service running, but recovering your data after accidental deletion, ransomware or a malicious insider is generally your responsibility, and built-in retention is limited. Independent SaaS backup gives you a separate, longer-term, recoverable copy. Whether you need it depends on your retention and risk requirements, which we can help you assess.

The DPDP Act, RBI expectations for BFSI, CERT-In and sector rules all touch on data protection, retention and resilience — and where your backups are stored can matter for data-residency, so India-based storage is often preferred. Pricing is typically per device or per user per month for backup, and per workload for DR, with storage and retention affecting cost. Figures here are illustrative, and this is general guidance, not legal advice — confirm specifics with the vendor and your advisors.
