Disaster Recovery and Backups on AWS with Tested Failover

Every IT leader is eventually asked what happens if the datacenter goes down, and few can answer with evidence. On-premises estates often rely on local or tape backups with no second site, and recovery plans that have never been tested give a false sense of security.

How DinoCloud helps

DinoCloud uses AWS as your recovery site without requiring you to migrate production. We start with a business impact analysis so recovery targets come from the business, not just IT, then design and implement the right recovery tier for each workload: backup and restore, pilot light or warm standby, including cross-region and Azure-to-AWS scenarios. The engagement closes with an executed test that measures the RTO and RPO actually achieved. Backup-only engagements typically take about two weeks; full disaster recovery typically takes four to eight weeks.

What you receive

• Business impact analysis and workload criticality tiering, with an agreed RTO and RPO per workload
• DR strategy and target architecture matched to those targets and their cost
• AWS Backup plans and policies as infrastructure as code, including retention, cross-region copy, immutability and vault lock
• Replication implemented with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, AWS Application Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service or snapshots, as appropriate
• Failover and failback runbook, walked through with your team
• Executed DR or restore test with measured RTO and RPO versus target, signed off by you
• Cost model of the chosen recovery posture and a handover session

Who it is for

Organizations with no tested recovery capability, teams facing recovery requirements from auditors, insurers, regulators or customer contracts, and companies on premises or in another cloud that want a second site on AWS before any migration decision.
