The saying goes that your data is only as good as your last backup, and your backup is only as good as your ability to restore it. We at restAssured think this is spot on. Backup solutions guarantee that they make an identical copy of your production data. In the end that is what you pay for. Therefore all backup solutions use a technology called CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) to validate if a backup was made successful. The general assumption is that if the backup solution makes a successful backup, it can be used to restore business functionalities when issues or disasters arise. This assumption is where things go wrong. Corrupt production data results in a successful backup with corrupt data. Depending on the level of corruption you might discover it sooner or later and eventually have to restore the data from backup. In such case you will end up with the same data corruption that affected your business in the first place. This may result in massive data loss, compliancy issues or in some cases business closure. Extensive restore testing to validate backups is expensive as it takes considerable time, planning, resources, guidelines and quality preparations. These are the main reasons why less then 30% of the companies worldwide perform these restore tests on a regular basis.
