Backup priorities
Define which data, applications, databases, endpoints, and business platforms should be protected and how they support the recovery plan.

Data Backup & Recovery
Plan backup and recovery for your critical files, applications, databases, and endpoints with restore support your team understands before disruption.
ACS protects your critical files, applications, databases, endpoints, and business platforms in the recovery plan with Redstor-backed backup workflows, restore testing, ransomware recovery planning, and documented recovery roles.

Restore readiness depends on protected workloads, current restore points, credentials, encryption keys, connectivity, test evidence, and clear validation steps.
ACS combines Redstor-backed backup support with practical recovery guidance so teams understand what is protected, how restore workflows operate, and how readiness can be tested.
Recovery inputs
- Data and software priorities
- Backup frequency, retention, and restore points
- Encryption keys, passwords, and access
- Test scripts and validation goals
- People who confirm recovered data is usable

The recovery readiness gap
01
Backups do not automatically equal recovery.
Organizations may have backup jobs running, but still need confidence that critical files, applications, databases, and endpoints can be restored when it matters.
02
Recovery expectations can be unclear until an outage.
Leaders need to understand what data is protected, how restoration works, who makes recovery decisions, and which systems return first.
03
Ransomware changes the recovery conversation.
Backup strategy needs to account for air-gapped posture, credential protection, restore validation, and the operational steps required after a disruptive event.
04
Testing and planning make recovery more practical.
ACS connects backup coverage, recovery workflows, restore testing, and business continuity planning so recovery is easier to explain and execute.
Key capabilities
Backup and recovery support built around restore readiness.
Requirements review
Define protected workloads, data priorities, RPO/RTO expectations, restore needs, access requirements, retention decisions, test objectives, and BC/DR dependencies.
Redstor backup support
Support Redstor-powered cloud backup for files, applications, databases, endpoints, and business platforms in the recovery plan, including private/public cloud backup options, malware-detection capabilities, and an air-gapped backup posture for ransomware resilience.
Restore support
Support restore workflows for protected data, selected restore points, technician guidance, recovery management, malware/ransomware recovery planning, and business validation by the appropriate stakeholders.
Testing management
Define test scope, validation owners, success criteria, access needs, issues found, improvement actions, and the next restore-test cadence.
Security-first recovery planning
Connect backup readiness, air-gapped or isolated backup design, malware-detection review, immutability considerations, retention strategy, access controls, and recovery responsibilities.
Role and responsibility clarity
Define who owns data decisions, application restore priorities, encryption keys, credential access, business validation, and recovery follow-through.
Common use cases
When data loss could disrupt the business.
Replace ad hoc backup practices
Move from informal or unverified backups to a clearer protection model for important data and systems.
Prepare for accidental deletion or outage
Create a clearer, tested path for recovering important data after user error, technology failure, or platform disruption.
Support ransomware recovery planning
Support recovery planning for cyberattack, ransomware, malware, or denial-of-service scenarios, including restore-point review and isolation considerations as part of a broader BC/DR and security program.
Validate restore readiness
Use restore tests to confirm protected workloads, selected restore points, approval paths, validation steps, and the business impact of recovery gaps.
