DisasterRecovery & Business Continuity
Resiliency is not an accident. It is engineered.
In a landscape of increasing ransomware sophistication and infrastructure volatility, "having a backup" is no longer enough. True business continuity requires a Data Integrity Strategy that guarantees your operations can be restored in hours, not weeks.
The Gold Standard: The 3-2-1-1-0 Rule
We don't just follow the industry-standard 3-2-1 strategy; we harden it for the modern threat landscape.
-
3 Copies of Data: Primary, Local Backup, and Off-site.
-
2 Different Media: Disk-to-Disk and Cloud.
-
1 Off-site Location: Secure, encrypted cloud repositories.
-
1 Immutable Copy: [The CBL Difference] An air-gapped or S3 Object Locked copy that cannot be deleted or encrypted by ransomware.
-
0 Errors: Automated recovery verification to ensure your data is actually restorable.

Defining Your Recovery Metrics: RPO & RTO
We move your business away from "vague promises" to documented service level agreements (SLAs). We define the two most critical metrics in your DR plan:
RPO (Recovery Point Objective)
How much data can you afford to lose? We architect snapshots and replication cycles to ensure that if a failure occurs at 2:00 PM, your data is restored to 1:55 PM—not yesterday.
RTO (Recovery Time Objective)
How long can you afford to be down? Using Veeam’s Instant VM Recovery, we can spin up your failed servers directly from the backup storage, getting your staff back to work in minutes while the full restoration happens in the background.
The "Competence Gap" in Backups
Many IT providers "set and forget" backups, only to find they are corrupted or encrypted when a crisis hits. CBL Consulting provides:
-
Quarterly DR Drills: We don't assume it works; we prove it works by performing test boots.
-
Documentation: A full Disaster Recovery Playbook that outlines exactly who does what when the "red light" goes on.
-
Transparency: Daily success reports delivered to your inbox, closing the gap between "hoping" and "knowing."
Is your current backup plan just a "guess"?
