Success Is Not the Same as Restorable

A backup job can report success every night and still be unrestorable. A device can stop checking in without anyone noticing. An alert can fire on the wrong day and be dismissed as noise, until the day it is not. We have seen every one of these in real environments, which is why our backup service is built around restoring data, not reading job status.

What We Run

The platform, the monitoring, the monthly restores and the plan for the bad day.

Platform Operations

Backup platform run by us, on infrastructure we control
Scheduling for workstations, servers and virtual machines
Retention and exclusions managed automatically
Storage health and capacity watched

Watchdogs and Alerts

Alert thresholds set per device type: a laptop that travels is not held to a server’s schedule
Silent failures caught: a device that stops reporting raises an alert
Alerts routed straight into our service desk so they get worked
Noise cut at the source so real alerts stand out

Restore Verification

Real files pulled from recent backups every month and opened
Results in your monthly report, with what was restored and when
Full restore rehearsals for servers and virtual machines
The checks themselves tested, so a false alarm never hides a real problem

Recovery Planning

Recovery plans for ransomware, hardware failure and site loss
Ransomware recovery that assumes the attacker reached the backups too
Recovery time and recovery point targets agreed with you up front
Backup design reviewed for the risks a job status never shows

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 an insurer asks about first.
