Two connected parts of readiness
Back up important data. Plan how to restore it.
A backup is a copy of data that can be used if the original is lost or damaged. Recovery is the process of restoring that information and getting the systems your business depends on working again.
A useful plan considers both, including what data is covered, how often copies are made, where they are stored, and how recovery responsibilities are handled.
Why recovery planning matters
Prepare for the moments your business can’t afford to ignore.
Hardware failure, accidental deletion, corrupted files, or other disruptions can interrupt access to business information. Knowing what is backed up and how restoration is handled helps make decisions clearer when something goes wrong.
Hardware or system failure
A server or device problem disrupts access to data or business applications.
Data corruption or cyber incident
Information becomes damaged, encrypted, or otherwise unavailable.
Unexpected disruption
A local event affects equipment, access, or day-to-day business operations.
Elements of a practical backup plan
Build the plan around what your business needs.
Specific backup and recovery arrangements should reflect your systems, data, business priorities, and agreed service scope.

Common questions
Backup & recovery FAQs
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?+
A backup is a copy of data stored so it can be restored later. Disaster recovery is the planning and work involved in restoring data and systems and resuming business operations after a disruption.
What does Ergon back up?+
Ergon’s stated backup service includes offsite backup of domain and server data. The systems, data, schedule, retention, and recovery scope for an engagement should be confirmed with your team.
How often should business data be backed up?+
The right frequency depends on how often data changes and how much recent work your business could tolerate losing. We can discuss appropriate requirements for your environment.
Can you guarantee that all data can always be recovered?+
No backup or recovery plan can guarantee recovery in every situation. Recovery depends on factors such as the data in scope, the condition and availability of backups, and the event involved. Plans should be reviewed and recovery expectations clearly agreed.
How quickly can data be restored?+
Restoration time depends on the amount and type of data, the incident, system dependencies, and the recovery method. Recovery objectives and responsibilities should be discussed and documented as part of the agreed plan.
