Success Is Not the Same as Restorable

A backup job can report success every night and still be unrestorable. The client can stop checking in without anyone noticing. A machine can be renamed and its history filed under the wrong company. The alert can fire on the wrong day and be dismissed as noise until the day it is not. We have found every one of these in real estates, which is why our backup service is built around verification rather than job status.

What We Run

Platform Operations

Backup platform operated by us, on infrastructure we control
Estate-wide job scheduling for workstations, servers and virtual machines
Exclusion policy and retention automated, not hand-maintained
Storage health and capacity watched, including the failure modes that look like success

Watchdogs and Thresholds

Alert thresholds set per device class: a laptop that travels is not held to a server’s schedule
Silent failures caught: a client that stops reporting is an alert, not an absence
Alerts routed into our ticketing so they are worked, with the noise cut at source
Watchdog false positives fixed rather than tolerated

Restore Verification

Real files pulled from recent backups every month and opened
Results reported in your monthly posture report, with the date and what was restored
Verification tooling itself checked, so a verifier bug is never mistaken for corrupt data or vice versa
Full restore rehearsals scheduled for servers and virtual machines

Recovery Planning

Recovery plans written for ransomware, hardware failure and site loss
Ransomware recovery procedures that assume the attacker reached the backups too
Recovery-point and recovery-time objectives agreed with you, in writing
Backup architecture reviewed for the cases where the design, not the job, is the risk

Proven Monthly

Backup assurance is one of the five pillars in Argos Security Assurance. Every report states which backups were restored, when, and whether they opened. It is the line most services skip and the one an insurer asks about first.
