When Things
Go Wrong

Disaster recovery plans. Backup strategies. Redundant systems.
The Hit-by-a-Bus Guarantee: Your systems work even if we don't.

🚌 The Hit-by-a-Bus Guarantee

If our entire team gets hit by a bus tomorrow, your systems keep running. Why? Because you have:

Complete source code in your Git repository
All credentials and API keys in your password manager
Comprehensive documentation with runbooks and playbooks
Architecture diagrams showing how everything connects
Deployment scripts that actually work
No dependencies on our infrastructure or services

(We're not planning on getting hit by a bus. But if we did, you'd be fine.)

Our Disaster Recovery Plan

Layered resilience for business-critical systems

💾

Automated Backups

Every 6 hours to geographically distributed locations. Retention: 30 days.

Last backup: 2 hours ago

Secondary: US-East
Tertiary: EU-Central

âš¡

Fast Recovery

RTO: 1 hour (Recovery Time Objective)
RPO: 6 hours (Recovery Point Objective)

Tested quarterly with full disaster recovery drills

Data Center Failure

Risk: LowImpact: High

Recovery Plan: Automatic failover to secondary region within 5 minutes. Zero data loss.

Ransomware Attack

Risk: MediumImpact: Critical

Recovery Plan: Immutable backups. Air-gapped storage. Full restore capability without paying ransom.

Database Corruption

Risk: LowImpact: High

We Test Our Recovery Plans

Disaster recovery plans are worthless if they don't work. We test ours regularly.

Quarterly Drills

Full disaster recovery simulation. Restore from backup. Validate data integrity.

Last drill: 28 days ago
Result: Passed (62 minutes to full recovery)

Monthly Restores

Random backup restore to verify backup integrity. Test in isolated environment.

Last restore: 12 days ago
Result: Passed (100% data integrity)
