Backup, DR & Continuity Insights

Safeguarding Data, Enabling Resilience, and Ensuring Business Continuity

In an era of evolving cyber threats, regulatory requirements, and increasing reliance on digital operations, backup and disaster recovery (DR) are no longer optional—they are mission-critical. Ensuring recoverability and maintaining business continuity across hybrid IT environments requires a unified strategy that spans cloud, virtual, physical, and mainframe platforms.

ITgility’s Backup, DR & Continuity Solutions portfolio delivers end-to-end protection—helping clients modernise their backup infrastructure, implement disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), and adopt ransomware-resilient architectures. Our approach aligns with key business priorities such as recovery point objectives (RPO), recovery time objectives (RTO), data sovereignty, and cyber resilience.

Key solution areas include:

• Backup Modernisation with Veeam and Commvault
  Streamline backup operations and enable intelligent data protection through platforms like Veeam Backup & Replication and Commvault Complete Data Protection. We help clients integrate with deduplication appliances, configure backup tiers, and automate backup lifecycle policies across environments.

• DRaaS with Zerto, Veeam CDP, and Public Cloud Targets
  Leverage Zerto or Veeam CDP for high-speed, near-zero RPO replication to Azure or AWS, reducing dependency on secondary data centres. Our DRaaS offerings include orchestrated failover, non-disruptive testing, and hybrid recovery readiness.

• Immutable Backup Storage & Ransomware Resilience
  Implement immutable storage using object locking, air-gapped appliances, and hardened repositories (e.g. Dell Data Domain, HPE StoreOnce, ExaGrid) to protect against deletion, encryption, or corruption of backup data.

• Microsoft 365 Backup with Druva and Veeam
  Secure SaaS workloads such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams with cloud-native backup solutions like Druva or Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, ensuring regulatory compliance and granular recovery.

• Offline Backup for Mainframe Storage Snapshots
  Through Rocket Software, we enable mainframe backups via disk-level snapshots, allowing non-intrusive, high-performance backups without impacting production workloads—supporting cyber recovery, test/dev, and tape replacement.

• Multi-Tier DR Strategy for Heterogeneous Environments
  Design and implement tiered DR plans that span mainframe, open systems, and cloud platforms, aligning recovery tiers to workload criticality, RTO/RPO expectations, and budget constraints.
