Masterclass – Backup & Disaster Recovery Planning: Building Resilience

Webinar: Backup & Disaster Recovery Planning – Building Resilience

Join us for this practical, expert-led session to understand how to move beyond “just backups” and build a true disaster recovery plan that keeps your business running when it matters most.

Date:  11th August 2026

Time:  10:30AM – 11:15AM UK

Location:  Virtual Online Event

In this session, hosted by Ben Randall (Technical Director) we’ll step back and look at the bigger picture of backup and disaster recovery planning, combining best practices with real-world examples.

You’ll learn how to design a resilient strategy that protects your data, supports business continuity, and aligns with compliance requirements, whether you’re using on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure.

In this session, we will cover:

• The difference between backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity
• Identifying critical systems and defining RTO/RPO objectives
• Best practices for backup frequency, retention, and testing
• Building tiered protection across workloads (VMs, SaaS apps, endpoints)
• Integrating cloud services (Azure, Veeam Cloud, DRaaS) into your DR plan
• Running and documenting test failovers to validate readiness
• Aligning DR strategy with frameworks like ISO27001, Cyber Essentials+, and NIS2

Exclusive Attendee Offer:

Attendees will be offered a free Backup & DR Health Check after the session. This quick assessment reviews your current backup setup, reviews RTO/RPO objectives, and identifies potential gaps in your disaster recovery plan. You’ll also receive a best practice checklist to benchmark your current strategy against proven standards.
