Bench 06 / Backup and continuity

An untested copy is a belief, not a backup.

Nine lines. Workstations, servers both physical and virtual, and those cloud accounts everyone presumes are being handled somewhere else. One line here matters more than the rest and sells least of all: it exercises recovery to a schedule and writes down what came out.

Distance is the property that makes a copy worth having

Keep a copy on the machine and it dies alongside the machine. Keep one inside the same cloud tenant and it inherits both that tenant's misfortunes and its retention rules, which is the identical error wearing quieter clothes. N-able Cove carries hardware and the Microsoft half. Dropsuite carries Google Workspace, Entra ID configuration, plus whatever ledger QuickBooks Online happens to hold.

Storage is pooled by line rather than fixed per machine, which is what prevents one unusually large server from crowding everything else off the same subscription.

Distance is the whole property. A copy that shares a fate with the original was never a copy.

The line people leave off is the one that proves it

Verification exercises recovery by itself and records what came out. Leave it off and every other line on this bench amounts to a schedule that appeared to complete. Put it on and recovery becomes something you can place before an insurer, before an auditor, or before a board that has lately started asking questions.

It also decides when you find out. A verification failure surfaces on an unremarkable weekday with room to fix it, rather than during the one hour of the year when nobody has room for anything.

Working File History

File and folder backup, by N-able Cove

Twenty eight days of version history for whichever documents are in play on a Windows workstation. Cheap, frequent rescue from ordinary human error, as distinct from the whole machine answer further down this bench.

  • File and folder backup for Windows with 28 day version recovery.
  • Managed centrally, next to every other line on this bench.
  • Pointed at live documents, not at an entire disk.
Runs onWindows workstations
Reacts toOverwrites, deletions, yesterday's perfectly good version

Fortify-CDP-WKSTNCell

Workstation Image Backup

Full workstation backup, by N-able Cove

The machine entire, not a folder from it. Workstations under Linux, macOS or Windows, sitting against 500GB of pooled storage, which keeps one heavy laptop from crowding everything else out.

  • Whole workstation backup, whichever of the three it runs.
  • 500GB of storage, pooled across every workstation on the line.
  • Brings back the machine, not merely the files that were on it.

Physical Server Backup

Full server backup, by N-able Cove

Whole copies of physical servers under Linux or Windows, databases handled properly, resting against 2000GB of pooled storage.

  • Whole server backup, databases included, on either operating system.
  • 2000GB of pooled storage behind the line.
  • Pairs with the verification line, which is what makes it a measurement.

Virtual Server Image Backup

Virtual server backup, by N-able Cove

The same handling for guests on a hypervisor, databases included, resting against 2000GB of pooled storage. Counting guests rather than hosts is what keeps the invoice matching the register.

  • Whole virtual server backup for Windows and Linux, databases included.
  • 2000GB of pooled storage behind the line.
  • Counted by guest, which stays accurate as hosts come and go.

Microsoft 365 Protection

The Microsoft side, held by N-able Cove

Copies of Exchange, of SharePoint, of OneDrive, of Teams, all taken out beyond Microsoft, with 1TB pooled against each licensed user. Keeping a tenant running is Microsoft's undertaking. Keeping its history belongs to somebody else entirely, which is the gap this line fills.

  • Copies of Exchange, of SharePoint, of OneDrive, of Teams.
  • 1TB of storage pooled against every licensed user.
  • A mailbox or a site put back without opening a case with Microsoft.

Google Workspace Protection

Google Workspace, held by Dropsuite

Everything a Workspace tenant holds gets lifted out: messages, drives, contacts, calendars, tasks. The restore is fine enough to hand back one item rather than an entire account.

  • Messages, drives, contacts, calendars, tasks: all copied out.
  • Restore granular enough for a single item.
  • Held apart from the very tenant it covers.

QuickBooks Online Protection

QuickBooks Online, held by Dropsuite

The ledger copied continuously, restored in one click, charged by company. Books are the one record where a rough recollection of last quarter will not do.

  • Continuous copying of QuickBooks Online.
  • Restoring the company file takes one click.
  • Charged by company, so several entities stay separable.

Fortify-CDP-EntraCell

Entra ID Configuration Backup

Entra ID, held by Dropsuite

The directory itself: groups, policy and configuration, retained without limit and watched for changes as they happen. Reassembling a directory from memory is not a recovery plan, it is an anecdote.

  • Entra ID configuration copied and retained without a limit.
  • Changes to the directory watched as they occur.
  • A record of the configuration as it stood before somebody edited it.
Runs onAn Entra ID tenant joined with your consent

Restore Verification

Automated recovery testing, by N-able Cove

The line that converts this whole bench from a belief into a measurement. Recovery is exercised automatically and each success is written down as evidence rather than assumed from a green tick.

  • Recovery exercised automatically, on a schedule.
  • Evidence of a working restore, in a form an auditor accepts.
  • The gap between a job that ran and a copy that works.
Runs onAnything a backup line already covers
Reacts toA restore that quietly stopped producing anything usable

Honest scope

Where this bench stops

Recovery is the easiest promise to oversell, so these limits are printed before you buy instead of afterwards.

  • Copying is not watching. A copy taken diligently mid incident is a diligent copy of an incident. Bench 01 shortens the incident. This bench is how you come back from it.
  • Restores take actual hours. Bringing back a large server or a whole tenant moves real volume across a real link. We measure that with you in advance so the number is known rather than discovered on the worst possible morning.
  • History costs storage. Deeper retention and more copies need more space, and space is billed. You will hear the number before choosing the policy, not on the invoice after it.
  • Cloud lines need your consent. Microsoft, Google, Entra ID and QuickBooks Online are joined because you authorised it. Withdraw the authorisation and copying stops, which is correct behaviour and should still be a decision rather than a shock.
  • A copy preserves your access mess faithfully. Whatever permissions sprawl existed at the moment of the run is exactly what comes back. Tidying it belongs to Bench 05 and to your own policy.
