It’s super common to set up a daily backup and forget about it — we’ve all been there. 😅
But here’s the thing: does your current backup strategy actually align with what your business needs?
Let’s break it down real quick:
✅ RPO (Recovery Point Objective) – How much data can you afford to lose?
👉 If you’re backing up once a day but can only afford to lose 2 hours of data… that’s a problem.
✅ RTO (Recovery Time Objective) – How quickly do you need systems back online?
👉 If your recovery takes 5 hours but your SLA says 1 hour… you guessed it, another problem.
📌 Tip:
Revisit your backup schedule regularly.
Run test restores and time them.
Adjust job frequency and storage settings to match your real-world targets.
Backups aren’t just about running on time — they’re about recovering in time. ⏱️💡
