Backups you can actually restore

T7 Solution builds backup and disaster-recovery setups with automated, tested backups, defined RPO/RTO, cross-region replication and rehearsed DR runbooks.

Overview

Backups nobody tests are hope, not disaster recovery. Cross-region snapshots that were never restored are theatre.

We design backup strategies per data class (DB, object storage, secrets, config) with RPO/RTO tied to business needs — plus quarterly restore drills that actually run.

For DR, we build tested runbooks: warm-standby, pilot-light or active-active depending on cost and downtime tolerance.

What we ship

DB backups

Managed (RDS/Aurora, Cloud SQL, Azure DB) plus point-in-time recovery, cross-region and encrypted.

Object + file backups

S3, Azure Blob and GCS versioning, lifecycle rules and cross-region replication.

Config + secrets

IaC, cluster state, Kubernetes manifests and secrets backed up out-of-band.

RPO / RTO planning

Per-workload targets, cost/impact modelled, agreed with business — not guessed.

DR runbooks

Warm-standby, pilot-light or active-active — documented, versioned and rehearsed quarterly.

Restore drills

Quarterly restores to isolated envs to prove backups actually work — with reports.

How we're different

Restore-tested

Backups are only real when restore has been proven — we drill and document.

Per-data-class strategy

DB, object, secrets and config each get the right RPO/RTO — not one blanket policy.

Cost-honest

Cross-region and active-active cost real money; we model the trade-off with the business, not hide it.

Ransomware-aware

Immutable backups (Object Lock, WORM) and out-of-account copies so ransomware can't wipe your DR too.

Frequently asked questions

How often do you test restores?

At minimum quarterly, into an isolated environment, with a written report — annually for full DR game-days.

What RPO/RTO can you achieve?

RPO seconds to hours depending on cost tolerance; RTO minutes (active-active) to hours (pilot-light). We model the cost-vs-downtime trade with the business.

How do you handle ransomware?

Immutable backups with S3 Object Lock or WORM, plus cross-account copies so a compromised account can't wipe DR.

Do you cover config and secrets too?

Yes — IaC state, Kubernetes manifests, secrets managers and cluster resources backed up out-of-band, not just databases.
