We monitor your data backups, check the backups, and regularly test the restore process. This ensures you don't only discover whether your backup works when it's an emergency.

With Managed Backup, Kutzschbach takes over the ongoing monitoring and control of your data backup. We regularly check whether the agreed backup jobs have been successfully completed.

Furthermore, we check whether backed-up data can actually be restored by performing monthly test restores of sample files.

We verify the successful execution of your data backup on each agreed service day during our service hours. In addition, we perform a monthly restore of sample files. During this process, we check their integrity and document the results in an audit report.

If monitoring reveals that a backup job was not successful, our managed service team can investigate the cause and initiate the necessary further steps.

This is intended to prevent faulty or missing data backups from going unnoticed for extended periods. The specific measures required in each case depend on the cause and the backup environment in use.

Managed Backup Standard includes regular monitoring of backup jobs as well as a monthly restore of sample files including integrity checks and an audit log.

Managed Backup Premium additionally includes maintenance of the backup software used. After testing and availability, we install up to one major update and two minor updates per year.

The duration of a recovery depends, among other things, on the amount of data, the affected system, the available infrastructure, and the chosen backup concept.

Therefore, it is essential to determine during the planning phase which systems are particularly critical for your company and how quickly they need to be available again in an emergency. Based on this, the backup and recovery strategy can be appropriately designed.

No. Reliable data backup is an important part of preparing for ransomware, but it does not prevent a cyberattack.

For comprehensive protection, backup and recovery should be combined with other security measures – for example, data encryption, endpoint security and a prepared IT emergency management system.
