Backup and Recovery for Small Business

Quick answer

A useful backup is a separate, recoverable copy of important business information. The control is only proven when you restore something and record how long it took.

Who this is for: Businesses that depend on cloud data, websites, financial systems, or shared files.

What to do

  1. 01List the services and data that must be restored first.
  2. 02Keep an access-controlled or offline copy that production credentials cannot alter.
  3. 03Restore a representative file or system into an isolated location.
  4. 04Record the result, recovery time, and fixes needed.

What this does not cover

Backups do not prevent every incident and do not replace an incident plan, access review, or provider-specific recovery commitments.
