What is Azure Backup and Recovery Security Service?
Finchloom+ Azure B&R security service is the first disaster recovery plan flexible enough for your business’ changing needs. Developed though our FLIGHT methodology, our Azure backup and recovery solution adapts to meet your IT objectives as well as your budget and resource requirements. Don’t be bullied into “enterprise-level” one-size-fits-all plans. Let our Azure experts help you develop a tailored DR solution consistent with your needs and organizational goals.
Execution through FLIGHT
Generally, backup and recovery (BR) services require multi-year, rigid, expensive contracts. With Finchloom BR through FLIGHT, agreements start at 3 months, and can adapt to your business’ changing needs.
Given your resources and priorities at the time, you decide what aspects Finchloom will take on, and what your business will support internally so timelines and budgetary requirements are met.
Understanding Backup vs Recovery
“Backup” means creating a copy of your production environment (called “the backup”), which includes data, machine states, and workloads running on on-premise machines and Azure Virtual Machine (VM) instances. Usually, backups involve a full backup, followed by incremental backups of parts of your data set that changed since the last full backup.
However, when an outage or other disaster occurs and your primary network becomes unavailable, “Recovery” is the multi-step process of enabling your organization to continue functioning. The first part, called “failover”, replicates your production environment to a secondary site so that you can still perform your critical business tasks. Once your primary location is available again, you then “failback” to your primary production environment.
Clients commonly leverage Finchloom for repeated quarterly and annual testing to ensure that both your backup data sets and your recovery processes are working as expected.
