Recovery Confidence

What is Recovery Confidence?

Anyone responsible for IT will tell you backup and recovery is the part of the job that makes them nervous. In the cyber era, that fear is multiplied.

Recovery Confidence means knowing that when something goes wrong, you can recover quickly and effectively. But many organisations don’t feel confident they can.

That lack of confidence comes from experience. In the middle of an incident, they’ve attempted to restore and found:

  • Backups hadn’t completed successfully for weeks
  • Recovery “worked” but the server wouldn’t boot
  • The server was never protected in the first place
  • The “isolated” backups were also compromised in the attack

With our managed service, you don’t face those risks. We’re on top of your protection every day, so you have the confidence that when you need to recover, it will work.

Recovery outcomes with Databarracks

Faster Recovery

Speed matters. We cut time not just on restoring data, but across the whole process – from detection to invocation and provisioning of the recovery environment – for the fastest possible recovery.

Complete Recovery

A partial recovery is a failure. It might keep you going, but if it leaves you with missing systems or outdated backups, it isn’t good enough. We ensure complete recovery: everything restored, current and ready to perform.

Lower cost Recovery

The faster and more complete the recovery, the lower the cost. Less downtime, less data loss, less reputational damage — and no missed obligations to customers or regulatory fines.

The Recovery Confidence Score

How do you objectively quantify confidence?

The Recovery Confidence Score was designed to capture best practice in data protection and IT resilience to assess and rate the maturity of data protection operations. It’s not specific to any particular technology but rather the processes and procedures that guarantee you can recover quickly and completely. 

  • Is your environment segregated and isolated?
  • Are you managing day-to-day operations effectively?
  • Does protection adapt as your business changes?
  • Is it integrated with your wider cyber and business resilience operations? 

Based on these factors, the Recovery Confidence Score quantifies your resilience as a score out of 100 and provides clear guidance on how to improve it.

Security and Segregation

Backups and DR must be secure and separate. They need to be physically distant to protect against local incidents, and air-gapped and segregated so they can’t be breached with production in a cyber attack.

Data Protection Operations

Recovery is what matters – but it’s built on backup.

Routine checks, maintenance and reruns of failed jobs are what deliver near-perfect success.

You can only recover completely from a complete backup.

Service Validation

Vendors pitch technologies as “set and forget”. But IT never stands still, and your environment is sure to change.

Hardware refreshes, upgrades, migrations, decommissions and acquisitions all leave gaps unless protection keeps pace.

Maintaining data protection is simple in principle but demands work: regular review, change control and testing.

Continuity and Resilience

The only way to guarantee your data protection solution is working is to test it:

  • Check you can meet business recovery objectives
  • Confirm everything is included
  • Check everything works together

And don’t wait for a crisis – test regularly to stay ready.

The Databarracks approach

Over 20 years, we’ve learned what it takes to deliver data protection you can trust.

When we ask customers why they choose Databarracks, many say the same thing: “It helps me sleep at night.”

That peace of mind comes from a service that’s designed, tested, monitored and maintained to deliver when they need it.

We don’t just provide technology. We guarantee continuity with a managed service that gives you confidence in recovery.

Recovery Confidence FAQs

  • Recovery Confidence is the certainty that, in a crisis, your organisation can recover quickly and effectively. It comes from having secure backups, tested processes and measurable proof of readiness.

  • The Recovery Confidence Score is a measure of how prepared your organisation is to recover. It scores resilience across four independent areas – Data Protection Operations, Security and Segregation, Service Validation, and Continuity and Resilience – and combines them into one overall score out of 100.

    That single score creates a common language for resilience that strips away ambiguity and helps engage stakeholders at every level of the business.

  • The Recovery Confidence Score gives organisations a clear, data-backed picture of their current level of resilience, helping them:

    • Identify weaknesses before they lead to crises
    • Track progress over time
    • Engage senior leadership with clear, visual reporting
    • Align IT, risk and continuity teams around the same goals
