Why backup and recovery best practices
matter for enterprises

As enterprise data continues to grow in volume and complexity, more data is being moved to the cloud. While the cloud offers scalability and flexibility, it also expands the threat landscape as data becomes more exposed to evolving cyber risks.

Most enterprises have backup and recovery strategies in place, but if those strategies are incomplete, outdated, or rarely tested, they may prove ineffective when disasters strike. According to the State of Ransomware Report 2025 by Sophos, only 54% of organizations were able to restore their data using backups. This is the third consecutive year the number has declined, with overall data recovery at its lowest rate in six years.

This illustrates the idea that many enterprises remain highly vulnerable and unprepared for real-world disruptions without a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy.

What recovery readiness assessment evaluates

This assessment evaluates your organization’s recovery strategy to uncover potential gaps, assess resilience against disasters, and provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen your recovery posture.

Here’s what the assessment covers:

Backup strategy

Evaluates whether your backup approach is complete.

RPO and RTO performance

Determines whether recovery objectives are defined, tested, and achievable.

Backup and recovery best practices

Assesses whether backups follow industry best practices.

Testing practices

Assesses whether recovery procedures are regularly tested.

Common gaps in enterprise data backup and recovery strategies

Take the assessment now

Most organizations overlook the fact that their data backup and recovery strategies may fall short in real-world disaster scenarios. A few frequently neglected gaps that can be addressed include:

  • Over-reliance on native tools: Relying entirely on native tools can limit flexibility and granularity, which might put critical data at risk.
  • RTO and RPO gaps: Failing to define or achieve recovery objectives might lead to unexpected downtime, excessive data loss, and higher financial impact.
  • Non-resilient backups: Backups without immutability are vulnerable to encryption or deletion by attackers, rendering recovery impossible.
  • Untested recovery processes: Failing to validate restoration procedures regularly can leave recovery gaps unnoticed until a disaster occurs.
  • Lack of automation: Manual backup and recovery processes increase human error and delay critical recovery operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by disaster recovery?

What are the stages of disaster recovery?

The stages of disaster recovery are:

  • Strategy planning: Identify critical systems and data, and define Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives that align with your organization’s needs.
  • Implementation: Deploy enterprise backup solutions, perform regular backups, store them securely, and follow disaster recovery best practices such as the 3-2-1-1 backup rule.
  • Recovery: Execute recovery operations to restore systems and resume operations when disasters strike.
  • Testing: Test the strategy regularly to ensure it meets the recovery objectives and supports business continuity goals.

How often should recovery be tested?

Recovery procedures should be tested at least annually, with critical systems tested more frequently to ensure RTO targets can be met.

How do you determine the right RPO for your organization?

The right RPO is determined by assessing how much data your business can afford to lose in the event of a disaster, balancing operational needs, cost, and system capabilities.

What is the 3-2-1-1 backup rule?

The 3-2-1-1 backup rule recommends having three copies of your data, stored on two different media types, with one offsite copy and one immutable copy to protect against ransomware and single points of failure.
