Most organisations don’t have a backup problem. They have a recovery problem.

You almost certainly take backups. But could you answer these questions in a board meeting tomorrow?

If your most critical system went down right now, how long until it’s back — and how do you know?

If ransomware reached your backups tonight, do you have an immutable copy it cannot touch?

When did you last actually restore from backup — not check that the job ran, but restore?

Could you prove tested recovery to a board, an auditor or a cyber-insurer today?

If any of those gave you pause for thought, this guide is for you.
