Externalised Backups & Recovery Plan

A backup that has never been restored isn't a backup : it's a hope. LaMeDuSe sets up encrypted externalised backups, with regular restore tests and a documented recovery plan.

The problem you're facing

Backups run in a server corner, never tested, with the same credentials as production. On ransomware day, the encryptors find the backups first. On disk-failure day, the restore fails halfway.

Our answer

We build a serious backup chain: 3-2-1 strategy (three copies, two media, one off-site), encryption, European replication on our infrastructure, anti-ransomware immutability : and documented restore tests.

What LaMeDuSe takes care of

  • Audit of your current backups and risks
  • 3-2-1 strategy sized by criticality
  • Encrypted backups and European replication
  • Anti-ransomware protection (immutable snapshots)
  • Documented disaster recovery plan
  • Regular, reported restore tests
  • Backup monitoring with failure alerting

Our methodology

  1. 1

    Audit & mapping

    Complete inventory of your information system: servers, network, backups, access rights, technical debt.

  2. 2

    Takeover plan

    Risk prioritisation, documentation of the existing setup and monitoring in place from the first week.

  3. 3

    Operations & automation

    Day-to-day administration, automation of repetitive tasks, security patches and backup management.

  4. 4

    Continuous improvement

    Monthly review of incidents, capacity and costs, with a shared improvement roadmap.

Relevant technologies

Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL)Proxmox, VMwareKubernetes & DockerPrometheus, Grafana, ZabbixAnsible, Terraform, Git

Security

Hardened configurations, privileged access management, centralised logging, managed firewalls and a tested 3-2-1 backup plan.

Hosting & infrastructure

We administer your existing infrastructure as well as our own cloud: the people and the infrastructure can come from the same group.

Maintenance

Contracts with committed response times, 24/7 on-call for critical environments and a monthly operations report.

Why LaMeDuSe

Our own production backups flow through this architecture, with continuous restore testing: we don't sell a backup chain we don't use ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

Three copies of your data, on two different media, one off-site. It's the minimal base to survive hardware failure, site disaster or ransomware : each rule covers a distinct risk.
