Backup Testing
Routine testing is the missing step in many backup services. Doing a periodic restore from backup and testing the result is important insurance that the backups are functioning as necessary to meet the business requirements. Upon your request or according to a schedule we will plan and execute the restore of a backup or multiple backups into a test environment for you to validate. This testing is done on a time and material basis.
Backup Usage
Backup usage is calculated by adding up all the data that is backed up in a month as per your onsite and offsite backup policies. This amount is added to the amount of data backed from previous months and retained as per your onsite and offsite retention policies. This total amount is used to calculate backup usage and overages which are billed when a customer’s total backup usage for a month is greater than the total monthly backup usage subscribed to by the customer in their order.
Notes:
- For details about the backup options related to different OSs and applications please see the Software Support Services section.
- The time required to restore data from a backup is dependent on many variables. The most important variable is the amount of data to be recovered. A single file recovery may take minutes but recovering a large database or media folder may take hours, or longer if the backup is being pulled from a remote location.
- Although remote backups can be uses for disaster recovery purposes. Actual recovery time and recovery point will be high variable.
