Many businesses assume backups are working simply because they exist.

 

But when disaster strikes—accidental deletion, device failure, or a cloud sync mishap—the only thing that matters is how fast and how cleanly you can restore.

 

Regular restore drills validate your backup systems, highlight gaps, and give your team confidence that your data is recoverable.

 

We often find corrupt, incomplete or misconfigured backups during audits, especially when clients rely on “set and forget” solutions. A quarterly restore test is like a fire drill: a small investment that prevents panic, chaos, and financial impact when something actually goes wrong.
