Backup & Disaster Recovery
Most backup solutions fail when they’re actually needed. Wekos designs DR around defined recovery objectives, tests restores on a regular schedule, and maintains the runbooks — so that when something goes wrong, recovery follows a documented procedure executed by experienced engineers.
Why Most Backup Solutions Fail When It Matters
The jobs were running. The dashboard showed green. But when ransomware hit on a Saturday night, nobody could answer three critical questions:
How long will recovery actually take? Are the backups clean, or were they also encrypted? Who is executing the recovery, and do they have a documented procedure to follow?
These are engineering questions — not product questions. The answer isn’t a better backup tool. It’s a DR program designed around your actual recovery requirements, tested against real failure scenarios, and maintained by engineers who know your environment.
When Did You Last Test Your Backup?
If you can’t answer that confidently, let’s talk. A Wekos backup assessment will tell you exactly where your gaps are and what it takes to close them — at no cost.
How Wekos Designs a DR Solution
Every DR engagement starts with the same question: what does recovery actually need to look like for your business? The answer drives every architectural decision that follows.
1. Define Recovery Objectives
We work with you to establish formal RTO and RPO targets for every covered workload — not guesses, but documented requirements that drive the architecture. What’s the maximum acceptable downtime? How much data loss can you tolerate? Which systems are most critical?
2. Design the Architecture
Recovery objectives determine the solution. A 4-hour RTO looks very different from a 15-minute RTO. We design backup topology, replication strategy, storage architecture, and failover procedures around your specific requirements — and document everything in a DR runbook before we go live.
3. Test, Validate, and Maintain
A DR plan that has never been tested is not a DR plan. Wekos conducts regular non-disruptive recovery exercises — restoring servers and applications into our virtual environment to confirm they recover within target RTOs. Results are documented, gaps are addressed, and runbooks are updated.
What We Deliver at the Engineering Level
These are the capabilities that differentiate a Wekos DR engagement from a standard backup service.
Ransomware-Hardened Backup
Air-gapped and immutable backup copies that ransomware cannot reach or encrypt. Workloads are tested in isolation before restore to ensure clean recovery — not reinfection.
Veeam Cloud Replication
VM-level replication from your on-premises environment to Wekos cloud infrastructure using Veeam — enabling fast, reliable failover without a second physical datacenter.
Managed RTO
We define your RTO upfront and design the solution to meet it. Recovery time objectives aren’t aspirational — they’re contractual targets backed by tested procedures and 24/7 on-call engineering.
Recurring Recovery Exercises
Non-disruptive recovery exercises that restore your servers and applications into our virtual environment on a defined schedule. Results are documented — giving you audit evidence and confidence that recovery will work when needed.
DR Runbook Maintenance
Documented recovery procedures for every covered workload — updated as your environment changes. When an incident occurs, recovery follows a defined process regardless of who is executing it.
24/7 Concierge Recovery
When a real disaster occurs, you get Wekos engineers on the phone — not a ticket queue. Our team executes the recovery runbook with you, managing the process from declaration to restoration.
Ready to Add DR to Your Wekos Service Plan?
The engineering approach described on this page is what backs every Wekos backup and DR engagement. If you’re ready to talk about what’s included, how it’s priced, and how it fits into your existing service plan — the Backup & Business Continuity service page has the details.
