Questions about backup and disaster recovery

Does Northwind test that our backups restore?

Yes. Northwind runs restore tests and shares the results with you.

What is a recovery order?

A recovery order is the agreed sequence in which your systems come back after a failure. Agreeing it in advance means your team knows what to restore first.

Do we need a separate Microsoft 365 backup?

We recommend one. Microsoft keeps deleted items only for a limited time, and an independent copy protects your mail and files beyond that.

Does disaster recovery cover ransomware?

Yes. Offsite copies outside your office network give you a way back, and the recovery order tells everyone where to start.

What is backup and disaster recovery?
