Backup architecture and recovery planning

Client context and challenge

The business needed to understand which systems and data required protection, how long information should be retained and what recovery expectations were realistic.

Objectives and success criteria

The engagement established priorities, dependencies, ownership, recovery targets and a documented route for testing business continuity arrangements.

Solution designed by EMAR

EMAR mapped workloads and data locations, reviewed existing controls and developed an architecture aligned with the organization’s operational priorities, budget and available technical capability.

Implementation approach

1. Workload and risk discovery
2. Retention and recovery requirement definition
3. Architecture and responsibility mapping
4. Test planning, documentation and handover

Technology and services used

The final design may use Microsoft cloud, on-premises infrastructure and appropriate backup platforms depending on workload location and recovery requirements.

Results and business value

The customer receives clearer recovery priorities, fewer assumptions and a practical basis for implementation and testing. Project-specific outcomes can be published after customer approval.
