Point-in-time recovery specialists for your dedicated team.

Where point-in-time recovery fits in a long-term product team.

Nightly backups protect against losing a server. They do not protect against the far more common event: a migration or a script that corrupts data at eleven in the morning. Without point-in-time recovery the choice is losing a day's work or living with the corruption, and neither is acceptable.

The recovery point and recovery time objectives are business decisions with a cost attached, and they are often assumed without being agreed. How much data can be lost, and how long a restore may take, shape the backup architecture, and both are cheaper to decide before an incident.

What your dedicated team does with point-in-time recovery.

A backup that has never been restored is not a backup. Restores fail for ordinary reasons, such as missing permissions, incompatible versions and incomplete log archives, and each one surfaces during a real incident unless a test found it first.

Scheduled restore testing is unglamorous, essential, and exactly the kind of recurring work an agreed committed monthly capacity is meant to include.

Common point-in-time recovery use cases.

• Recovering from a bad write Restoring to the moment before a corrupting change.
• Objectives agreed with the business Acceptable data loss and restore time decided with the business, and designed for.
• Restores tested regularly Scheduled rehearsals, so the failure modes are found before they matter.
