The 3-2-1 backup architecture we deploy
Solution reference — our standard data-protection build
The challenge
Every business has backups; far fewer have restores — verified, timed and recent. Ransomware finds the copies that were reachable; audits find the ones that were never tested.
The solution
Three copies, two media, one off-site: automated captures of PCs, servers, VMs and Microsoft 365 every 15 minutes; an immutable off-site copy the attacker cannot reach; and scheduled restore tests with the evidence in a monthly report.
Implementation
Sizing from your real change rate and retention obligations, NAS and replication deployment, immutability configuration, then the part that matters: the restore-drill calendar.
The outcome
What this architecture delivers: recovery you can rehearse, protection that survives the building, and an answer — with dates — when an auditor asks "when did you last restore?".
Still running it: Backup estates under managed services get verification monitoring and quarterly restore drills.
