Backup and recovery

It beats nothing, but it has three weak spots. If disaster strikes on a Thursday, almost a week of work is gone. The drive often stays plugged in after the copy, so ransomware encrypts it too. And when that colleague goes on leave or moves on, the routine silently stops. You need not throw the drive away; we make it one piece of an automated, monitored scheme that also keeps a locked copy off-site.

Microsoft and Google keep the service running and make sure a hardware fault in their own facilities does not cost you data. Against deleted folders, items that aged out of the recycle bin, a hijacked account or malware encrypting OneDrive files, that protection only goes so far. An independent backup with retention rules you control fills the hole.

They can, as long as the attackers do not reach them first. Backups are what you fall back on when everything else has failed. Today's gangs frequently roam a network for days hunting for NAS devices and backup servers to wipe before they encrypt anything. A locked copy with an outside provider and a restore tested recently let you get running again without negotiating. When personal data is affected, KVKK may require notifying the Board within 72 hours, and you can also report the incident to USOM, Türkiye's national cyber incident response centre. Your legal adviser drafts the notification; we provide the technical findings.

We usually start from 30 days of dailies, roughly 13 weeklies and 12 monthlies. For accounting records and e-documents the retention periods under the Tax Procedure Law apply, so have your mali müşavir confirm what must be kept and for how long. There is a flip side: KVKK expects personal data not to be held longer than needed, and your retention and destruction policy covers backups as well. We turn both demands into concrete rules inside the backup software.

There are two parts. Storage is the provider's monthly fee for the volume held in the cloud, which is modest for most SMEs. Labour covers the review of what you have now and the build, charged at €55 per hour plus VAT against an estimate given up front, or as a fixed-price quote when the scope is clear. Ongoing monitoring and drills can be folded into the Start, Business or Premium plan.

The storage box or server flags the failure itself, and it usually reaches our screen before yours. We send you the correct drive model and a photo with the right bay marked. A member of your staff fits it while we guide them on a video call, or a local technician you already use does it. After that we supervise the array rebuild and verify the data, all from a distance. Apply does not come on site and does not sell hardware.
