Disaster recovery planning that keeps you trading
A robust disaster recovery (DR) plan ensures your business can continue after major incidents. Prime ICT builds recovery strategies that define recovery time objectives (RTOs), prioritise critical services and outline clear failover procedures.
Regular testing and documented playbooks mean your team knows how to respond and recover quickly, limiting financial and reputational damage.
Planning, testing and rapid recovery services
Our DR service includes risk assessments, recovery design and failover orchestration. We implement automated replication, warm standby environments or cloud failover based on your tolerance for downtime.
Regular testing and reviews validate the plan and identify improvements. We also provide runbooks and training so your team can execute the plan confidently under pressure.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question? See if we’ve answered it below, or get in touch with more specific queries.
How is disaster recovery different from backups?
Backups store data; DR defines how entire systems are restored and services recovered.
What are RTO and RPO?
RTO is recovery time objective; RPO is recovery point objective — both guide DR design.
How often should we test DR?
We recommend regular tests at least annually, more often for critical services.
Can we have cloud failover?
Yes — cloud failover and hybrid approaches are common for rapid recovery.
What costs are involved?
Costs vary by required availability; we design affordable tiers to meet your risk tolerance.
Who should be on my DR team?
Key IT, operations and senior decision-makers should be included in DR playbooks and drills.
