We audit your current backup configuration, retention policies, storage locations, and recovery documentation to identify gaps, establish your actual RTO and RPO exposure, and define the objectives your backup programme must meet before implementation begins.
BACKUP & RECOVERY SPECIALISTS
A Backup That Has Never Been Tested Is Not a Safety Net
Most businesses have some form of backup in place. Far fewer have verified that their backup actually works. An untested backup gives a false sense of security: you discover its limitations at the worst possible moment, when a production incident is already in progress and every minute of downtime is costing revenue and customer trust. Website backup and recovery done properly means the restoration process is documented, tested against your actual codebase, and executable under pressure by an engineer who has done it before, not one who is reading the runbook for the first time during a live incident.
Skript Digital implements automated daily backups of your codebase, database, and all media assets, stored in geographically redundant offsite environments on Amazon S3 or equivalent encrypted cloud storage with verified 30-day rolling retention. Quarterly restoration drills confirm that backup files are intact and that the full platform can be recovered within the agreed time window, before an incident occurs rather than during one. Incremental backup technology reduces server load and storage costs while maintaining granular restore points that allow database recovery to a specific point in time before a data error or breach occurred.
For businesses with enterprise recovery requirements, Skript Digital engineers full disaster recovery protocols with defined Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives tailored to your specific operational risk tolerance. Hot-standby environments, DNS failover orchestration, and a documented disaster recovery playbook ensure that when a catastrophic failure occurs, your team knows exactly what to do and your business can resume operations in hours, not days. Every backup and recovery action is logged with an audit trail that satisfies GDPR and Australian Privacy Act requirements.
The Infrastructure We Use to Protect Your Data
We implement backup and disaster recovery using proven cloud storage, database, and orchestration platforms that integrate with your existing hosting environment without additional complexity.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Verified Backup & Recovery Matters
An untested backup is a false sense of security. Verified, regularly drilled recovery procedures are what keep a disaster from becoming a business-ending event.
Verified Multi-Layered Backups
Codebase, database, and media assets are backed up daily to geographically redundant offsite locations with verified 30-day retention.
Tested Restoration Procedures
Quarterly restoration drills confirm your platform can be recovered within the agreed time window before an incident, not during one.
Automated Rollback Processes
One-click rollback capabilities and CI/CD-integrated safe points allow rapid recovery from failed deployments or unexpected regressions.
Defined RTO and RPO Targets
Recovery Time and Recovery Point Objectives are documented and agreed upfront so your leadership team knows exactly what to expect in a disaster scenario.
Enterprise Disaster Recovery
Hot-standby environments and DNS failover orchestration ensure your platform can resume operations in hours when a catastrophic infrastructure failure occurs.
Secure Offsite Data Retention
All backup data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256 standards, with access-controlled offsite storage that meets GDPR and Privacy Act requirements.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Our Backup & Recovery Services
Automated Multi-Layered Backups
- Executing daily automated snapshots of your entire application environment including codebase, database, and all media assets

- Storing all backup data in geographically redundant offsite locations to protect against regional data centre outages
- Maintaining a strict 30-day rolling retention policy allowing rollback to any specific day within the last month
Verified Restoration & Drill Testing
- Conducting quarterly restoration drills spinning up a full clone of your platform from backup to verify data integrity
- Documenting step-by-step recovery procedures refined and updated as your platform architecture evolves over time
- Implementing automated checksum validation to confirm backup files have not been corrupted during transfer or storage
- Providing a ready-to-restore guarantee so our team can act immediately without troubleshooting the backup infrastructure itself
Disaster Recovery Orchestration
- Defining clear Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives tailored to your specific business risk tolerance
- Engineering hot-standby environments that can be activated within hours in the event of a catastrophic primary server failure
- Orchestrating DNS failover protocols to automatically redirect traffic to a healthy environment during a major outage

Database Point-in-Time Recovery
- Implementing transaction log backups allowing restoration to a specific minute before a data error or injection occurred
- Isolating database backups from the application layer to prevent cross-contamination in the event of a security breach
- Running automated database sanity checks after every backup to confirm tables and relationships remain consistent
- Providing selective restoration to recover a single table or record without overwriting the entire database environment
Cloud & Hybrid Storage Management
- Integrating with Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage for enterprise-grade encrypted object storage of your media libraries
- Managing cold storage archiving for legacy data required for legal or compliance reasons but not needed in daily operations
- Encrypting all backup data at rest and in transit using AES-256 standards to ensure total privacy and regulatory compliance
- Auditing storage costs monthly to ensure your backup strategy remains cost-effective as your data footprint grows
Emergency Rollback & Version Control
- Integrating backup triggers with your CI/CD pipeline creating an automatic safe point before every new code deployment
- Providing one-click rollback capabilities for updates that cause unexpected UI or functional regressions in production
- Maintaining a full audit trail of all backup and restoration actions for GDPR and Australian Privacy Act compliance

Backup Architecture & DR Design
We design the full backup architecture including storage locations, retention schedules, incremental backup strategy, database point-in-time recovery configuration, and disaster recovery orchestration, with all RTOs and RPOs agreed and documented before any infrastructure changes are made.

Implementation & First Drill
We implement the backup infrastructure, configure encrypted offsite storage, integrate CI/CD rollback triggers, and run the first full restoration drill against a live clone of your platform to verify that every component can be recovered within the agreed time window.

Ongoing Monitoring & Quarterly Drills
We monitor backup job success daily, maintain the audit trail required for compliance, update recovery documentation as your platform evolves, and conduct quarterly restoration drills to confirm your recovery capability is current and your team is prepared before any real incident occurs.

WHY SKRIPT DIGITAL
Recovery Programmes Verified Before You Need Them
Skript Digital does not just implement backup infrastructure, we test it quarterly against your actual platform so you know your recovery capability works before a real incident demands it.
Quarterly Restoration Drills
Every backup is tested against a live platform clone each quarter so recovery capability is always verified, not just assumed.
Agreed RTOs & RPOs Upfront
Recovery time and data loss objectives are documented before implementation so your leadership team knows exactly what to expect.
Compliance-Ready Audit Trail
Every backup and restoration action is logged with the detail required for GDPR, Privacy Act, and PCI DSS compliance reviews.
Long-Term Recovery Partnership
Ongoing management keeps recovery documentation current as your platform evolves, rather than drifting out of date between annual reviews.
