FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What organisations ask about backup & disaster recovery.

How is Essential Eight 'Daily Backups' different from just having backups?

Essential Eight requires backups to be tested, retained for the required period, isolated from production, and protected from being modified or deleted by ransomware. Many SMEs have backup jobs running but no proof those backups would actually restore. We close that gap.

What's the difference between RTO and RPO?

RTO = Recovery Time Objective: how long after an outage before systems are back. RPO = Recovery Point Objective: how much data loss is acceptable (e.g., 1 hour of transactions). Both must be defined per system, not set globally — your finance database and your file share have different tolerances.

Do you back up Microsoft 365?

Yes — third-party M365 backup (Veeam, AvePoint, or similar) for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams. Microsoft's native retention is not a backup. Recommended for any organisation with data retention obligations under Privacy Act, ACNC, or sector-specific regulation.

How often should we test backup restores?

Quarterly tabletop or partial restore at a minimum — annual full DR drill is best practice. Untested backups have a high failure rate at the moment you actually need them — and ransomware now specifically targets backup infrastructure first.
