Backup strategy
Retention, encryption, storage location, snapshot frequency, offsite copies and backup ownership for servers, databases and application data.
Disaster recovery
Disaster recovery services with tested restore plans
SysRoot helps teams move beyond hoping backups work. We design, test and document recovery plans for infrastructure, databases and critical production services.
For teams where downtime would hurt
We help teams clarify what must recover, how quickly, from which failure modes and with which operational steps. The outcome is a recovery process that has actually been tested.
RPO and RTO planning
Backup validation
Database restore testing
Failover and incident runbooks
What we deliver
Disaster recovery is only useful when the recovery path is clear, tested and owned. We design around real failure scenarios, not generic backup checklists.
Restore testing
Scheduled restore tests that prove backups can be used, with timing, validation steps and documented recovery gaps.
RPO/RTO definition
Business-aligned recovery point and recovery time targets for critical systems, databases and customer-facing services.
Failover design
Practical failover approaches for databases, VMs, cloud services, Kubernetes workloads and hybrid infrastructure.
Recovery runbooks
Step-by-step recovery procedures, owner lists, access requirements and post-incident validation checklists.
DR gap assessment
A focused review of backup coverage, hidden single points of failure, restore confidence and operational readiness.
Recovery planning that gets tested
We start from failure scenarios and business impact, then work backward into technical controls and practical restore procedures.
- 01Map critical systems
Identify data stores, application dependencies, infrastructure components and business recovery priorities.
- 02Define targets
Set realistic RPO/RTO targets and failure scenarios for each critical system.
- 03Implement and document
Improve backups, failover paths, access, monitoring and runbooks.
- 04Test recovery
Run restore exercises and record gaps, timings and follow-up improvements.

FAQ
Can you test whether our backups actually work?
Yes. Restore testing is a core part of the service. We validate recovery steps, timing, data integrity and missing prerequisites.
Do you handle database disaster recovery?
Yes. We work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, replicas, point-in-time recovery, backup retention, failover behavior and restore validation.
Can you help define RPO and RTO?
Yes. We help translate business risk into practical recovery targets, then design technical controls around those targets.
Is this a one-time project or ongoing service?
Both are possible. Many teams start with a DR assessment and restore test, then keep periodic testing as part of ongoing operations.
Do you know how long recovery would take?
Send us your current backup approach and critical systems. We will help identify what is recoverable, what is unknown and what should be tested first.
