Backup and Disaster Recovery Testing
Backup Recovery Testing for SMBs that need proof that critical files, Microsoft 365 data, servers, and business applications can be restored, with recovery time, gaps, and remediation steps documented.
Scope
Critical files, Microsoft 365 data, servers, business applications, vendor-hosted systems, and RPO/RTO targets
Identity
Restore-test cadence, documented recovery time, failed restore paths, ransomware recovery assumptions, and owner handoffs
Endpoints
No guarantee of recovery from every event; focus is evidence, ownership, and remediation
Prove the business can restore before it has to
BCT turns the current IT environment into a clearer support and readiness plan. The goal is to identify what exists, what is weak, who owns each fix, and what evidence should be maintained before the next customer, contract, or assessment request.
Backup
Backup scope, alerts, restore testing, and recovery documentation.
Evidence
SSP, POA&M, screenshots, exports, diagrams, and owner-assigned tasks.
Support
A recurring review rhythm that keeps the environment supportable.
What BCT includes for Backup and Disaster Recovery Testing
- Critical files, Microsoft 365 data, servers, business applications, vendor-hosted systems, and RPO/RTO targets
- Restore-test cadence, documented recovery time, failed restore paths, ransomware recovery assumptions, and owner handoffs
- No guarantee of recovery from every event; focus is evidence, ownership, and remediation
Why Healthcare, legal, finance, manufacturing, AEC, property management, and professional services teams that need recoverability proof choose Business Computer Technicians
Backup testing is fear-driven and recurring. Owners understand the pain of lost files, ransomware, failed servers, deleted mailboxes, and cloud-account compromise. A restore test creates tangible proof and often reveals surrounding gaps in identity, endpoint protection, vendor ownership, and documentation.
The wedge is not "we sell backup." The wedge is "can you prove the business can restore?"

- Backups exist but restore results are unclear or undocumented
- Insurance, compliance, customer, or leadership review needs backup evidence
- Microsoft 365, files, servers, or vendor-hosted applications need recovery ownership

Talk to BCT about Backup and Disaster Recovery Testing
Can BCT certify our organization?
No. BCT supports the IT control layer, documentation inputs, cleanup, and ongoing support. Formal certification, legal interpretation, and assessor decisions belong with the appropriate C3PAO, attorney, or compliance advisor.

Yes. BCT can help review users, groups, MFA, admin roles, cloud resources, endpoints, backups, logging, and other support records that owners or advisors may need to evaluate.
What should we bring to the first call?
Bring the approximate user and device count, Microsoft 365 or Azure overview, known deadlines, any questionnaire or gap list, and whether controlled or customer-sensitive data is confirmed or suspected.
