Why choose
Why choose NCS
We build recovery positions for UK organisations where downtime is not an option, and we have recovered enough real failures to know where plans usually break. Our approach is deliberately practical: documented, rehearsed and owned by named engineers.
01
Designed Around RTO and RPO
We start with the maximum downtime and data loss your business can absorb, then design backup frequency, replication and failover infrastructure to meet those targets rather than guessing at them.
02
Tested, Not Theoretical
Plans are rehearsed on a quarterly cycle, with critical systems tested monthly. Backup verification, recovery procedures and failover are all validated so nobody discovers a gap during a real incident.
03
Every Disaster Class Covered
We plan for complete system failure, cyberattack and ransomware, data corruption, hardware loss and human error, across on-premise, hybrid and cloud database platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Database disaster recovery is the combination of plans, infrastructure and tested procedures that restore your data and service after a failure. Without it, an outage becomes prolonged data loss, missed obligations and lasting reputational damage.
RTO defines the maximum acceptable downtime before business operations are significantly affected, whilst RPO determines the maximum tolerable data loss period. These objectives guide our recovery strategy design and infrastructure requirements.
We handle complete system failures, natural disasters, cyberattacks, ransomware, data corruption and human error incidents, covering physical hardware failures, software corruption and malicious attacks across all database platforms.
Plans should be tested quarterly at a minimum, with critical systems tested monthly. Testing includes backup verification, recovery procedures and failover testing to validate your RTO and RPO objectives.
Yes. We offer cloud-based disaster recovery using automated backups, rapid failover and scalable infrastructure, providing cost-effective, geographically distributed recovery with reduced RTO and improved resilience.
Yes. Our engineers perform emergency recovery on corrupted or failed databases using forensic techniques, backup restoration and point-in-time recovery, then help you close the gaps that allowed the failure.
We provide continuous backup monitoring and regular restore testing against agreed RTO and RPO targets. This ensures that recovery is verified and proven before a real incident occurs.
Yes, we plan for disasters across on-premise, hybrid and cloud database platforms. Our recovery engineers implement solutions including data mirroring and geographically distributed cloud failover.
