Backup and Archiving

Backup and archiving are services for the systematic creation of secure copies of company data and their long-term storage, protecting against information loss due to failures, attacks, or human errors. A professional company ensures reliability, regulatory compliance, and fast recovery without burdening the internal IT team with the costly maintenance of its own backup systems.

What are backups and archiving?
Backups are regular snapshots of critical data (files, databases, configurations, emails) enabling recovery after an incident (3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 media, 1 offsite). Archiving is compressed, immutable storage of old data for legal compliance (GDPR: 6+ years) and audits.

What does the backup and archiving service look like?
Analysis and design (1-2 weeks): data inventory, RPO/RTO, tool selection, retention policy.
Implementation (1-3 weeks): agent on servers/endpoints, schedule configuration, encryption, recovery tests.
Ongoing management: daily/weekly backups, immutable storage (immutable copies vs. ransomware), offsite/cloud.
Tests and reports (quarterly): quarterly restore drills, success reports (95%+), error alerts, cost optimization.
Recovery: fast recovery (point-in-time) with SLA, forensics after an incident.

Business benefits of professional backup service
Business continuity – RTO under 4 hours restores business after failure/attack, minimizing losses (one hour of downtime = 10k+ PLN).
Ransomware protection – immutable/air-gapped copies impossible to encrypt; recovery without paying a ransom.
Regulatory compliance – retention of 7-10 years for GDPR/NIS2, audit trails, FIPS 140-2 encryption.
Savings of 40-60% TCO – no hardware purchases, automation, pay-per-use in the cloud.
Peace of mind and focus – the team doesn't worry about backups; professionals guarantee 99.9% SLA for success.

Why choose a professional external company?
Internal backups fail in 60% of cases (configuration errors, lack of testing). Experts use enterprise tools, best practices (NIST 800-53), test regularly, and take liability for recovery failure, providing certainty that an ad-hoc administrator cannot guarantee.
