What is disaster recovery and backup architecture?
Disaster recovery architecture defines how a system is restored after failure, using backups, replication and tested procedures to meet recovery point and recovery time objectives. Stack18 designs it from business impact, sizes it to budget, and runs restore drills so recovery is proven, not assumed.

Senior people lead every phase. Specialised AI agents on the Agentic SDLC handle the repetitive work, and nothing ships without your approval.
Discovery
We map today's process, systems and data for impact and targets; backup design; and recovery architecture, talk to the people who run it and agree the baseline for tested RTO and tested RPO so progress is measured from week one.
Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for impact and targets; and backup design, and review a clickable prototype with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build in weekly demos
We build in weekly demos, starting with impact and targets, then backup design and recovery architecture. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
Launch and support
We migrate data, train your team and support go-live. After 30 days we review tested RTO, tested RPO and restore success rate against the baseline and agree what to extend next.
Start small. Scale when it works.
Every engagement begins with a short, fixed-price step so you can judge the fit before committing further. See pricing.

Disaster Recovery and Backup questions.
How often should we test recovery?
At least periodically and after major changes. We set a schedule based on risk.
Do we need multi-region?
Not always. We compare options against the cost of downtime.
Does it help against ransomware?
Immutable and offsite backups plus tested restores help recovery. No design removes all risk.
Do you cover on-premise systems?
Yes, along with cloud and hybrid systems.
Will you run the drills?
Yes. We run them with your team and report gaps.
How much does disaster recovery and backup cost?
Every engagement starts with a fixed-price Discovery Sprint that produces scope, a plan and a quote. Custom work is quoted at a fixed price once the scope is clear. Changes are agreed in writing before they are built, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
How do you measure success for disaster recovery and backup?
In week one we agree a baseline for tested RTO, tested RPO and restore success rate. We report them at every weekly demo and review them against the baseline 30 days after go-live, so results are measured rather than assumed.
What should we prepare before the first call?
Bring a short description of how disaster recovery and backup works today, examples of the documents or screens your team uses, and the three numbers that matter most to you. A senior specialist will use them to outline a first step and a fixed price.
