Disaster recovery and backup solutions that keep your business running
We design and implement backup and recovery systems for organisations who need resilience and continuity, without sacrificing performance, security or operational efficiency.
Who this is for
You need to protect critical systems and data
Downtime or data loss would significantly impact operations.
You want a clear recovery plan in place
Ensuring business continuity in the event of failure or incident.
You’re managing growing infrastructure and complexity
More systems mean greater risk without structured backup and recovery.
What we help solve
Practical problems we see on resilience programmes-and how we address them.
Risk of data loss or system failure
Unexpected incidents can disrupt operations or cause permanent loss. We implement robust backup and recovery strategies-protected data and rapid recovery capability.
No clear disaster recovery plan
Teams don’t know how to respond when something goes wrong. We design structured recovery processes and playbooks-clear, controlled response to incidents.
Backups that are unreliable or untested
Data exists but can’t be restored when needed. We validate and test backup systems regularly-reliable, usable backups.
Extended downtime during incidents
Recovery takes too long, impacting business continuity. We design systems with defined recovery time objectives-faster recovery and minimal disruption.
Infrastructure not designed for resilience
Single points of failure create unnecessary risk. We implement redundancy and failover strategies-more resilient, fault-tolerant systems.
Why Tonic / why this approach
- Resilience built into infrastructure designRecovery isn’t an afterthought-it’s part of the architecture.
- Clear, practical recovery plansDefined processes that teams can follow under pressure.
- Regular testing and validationEnsuring backups actually work when needed.
- Aligned to business impact and prioritiesRecovery strategies designed around what matters most.
- Scalable and future-readySolutions that evolve with your systems and data. Continuity and resilience are treated as core requirements, not optional extras.

How we deliver
Discovery and risk assessment
We assess systems, data and potential failure points.
Clear understanding of risks; unidentified vulnerabilities reduced.
Strategy and recovery planning
We define backup approach and recovery processes.
Structured disaster recovery plan; unclear response during incidents reduced.
Implementation and configuration
We set up backup systems and redundancy.
Fully operational backup environment; data loss and downtime reduced.
Testing and validation
We simulate recovery scenarios and validate systems.
Confidence in recovery capability; failed recovery attempts reduced.
Monitoring and optimisation
We ensure backups run consistently and efficiently.
Reliable, maintained system; silent failures reduced.
Ongoing support and evolution
We refine as infrastructure and needs grow.
Long-term resilience; outdated recovery processes reduced.
FAQs
How often should backups run?
It depends on your data and risk tolerance, but typically ranges from real-time to daily schedules.
What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backups protect data, while disaster recovery defines how systems are restored and operations resume.
Can you test our existing backup systems?
Yes-we validate and improve existing setups.
Do you support cloud-based backups?
Yes-cloud and offsite backups are a key part of our approach.
How quickly can systems be restored?
This depends on defined RTO/RPO, which we establish based on your needs.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes-continuous monitoring and optimisation are included.
