Backup and Disaster Recovery Services for Businesses in Canberra
SpenVest Lab designs and manages backup and disaster recovery solutions that protect your data and keep your business operational when the unexpected happens — whether it's ransomware, hardware failure, or a natural disaster.
Automated Backup Solutions
We implement automated backup schedules for your servers, workstations, databases, and cloud workloads — eliminating reliance on staff remembering to run manual backups and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Offsite and Cloud Backup
Following the 3-2-1 backup rule, we replicate your backups to secure offsite locations and cloud storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2) — ensuring your data is protected even if your primary site is completely lost.
Disaster Recovery Planning
We document a comprehensive disaster recovery plan (DRP) tailored to your business — defining Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), recovery procedures, and staff responsibilities during an incident.
Recovery Testing and Validation
A backup is only as good as its ability to restore. SpenVest Lab conducts regular recovery tests on your backup data, verifying that files, databases, and entire systems can be restored within your agreed RTO.
Ransomware Protection
Modern ransomware targets backup systems. We implement immutable backup snapshots, air-gapped copies, and endpoint protection to ensure your recovery capability survives even a sophisticated ransomware attack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
The 3-2-1 rule means keeping 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy offsite. SpenVest Lab implements this as a minimum backup standard for all clients.
How often should backups run?
For most businesses, we recommend at least daily backups of all critical data, with more frequent snapshots (every few hours) for databases and active systems, achieving a lower RPO.
What is a Recovery Time Objective (RTO)?
RTO is the maximum acceptable time to restore a system after a disaster. SpenVest Lab works with you to define your RTO and designs backup infrastructure capable of meeting it.
Can SpenVest Lab protect my backups from ransomware?
Yes, we implement immutable backups (backups that cannot be modified or deleted for a defined retention period), air-gapped copies, and endpoint detection to protect your recovery capability from ransomware.
