Map of critical systems
Together we list your systems by importance: accounting, email, files, production or sales systems. For each we set a recovery time (RTO) and an acceptable data loss (RPO). This is the foundation of the plan.
PlanB: full infrastructure recovery in the MDP CLOUD cloud
Fire, flood, ransomware or just a failed server: with PlanB your servers, data and access are restored in the MDP CLOUD cloud and your business keeps working while your own environment is being fixed.
Built for ISO 27001NIS2 DORA
- Server backup
- Full IT infrastructure backup
- Immutable backup
Backups answer where the data is. PlanB answers when you are working again
- RTO agreed recovery time: hours, not weeks
- Lithuania recovery site in the MDP CLOUD data centre (EU)
- VPN + 2FA staff access to the restored environment
- Drills plan tested on a schedule, with a report
Having backups and having somewhere to restore them are two different things. When a server room burns, gets encrypted or loses power, a backup on a disk helps nobody until there are servers, a network and access to run it on. Buying and installing new equipment takes weeks; a business cannot wait that long.
PlanB is a recovery site for your infrastructure, prepared in advance in the MDP CLOUD cloud. Server backups are continuously replicated to our data centre in Lithuania (EU), and when disaster strikes we start your servers, databases and systems in our infrastructure within the agreed time (RTO), set up secure VPN access for your staff, and your business keeps running. When your environment is fixed, we move the data back. The plan is documented and tested on a schedule, as the business continuity requirements of NIS2 and DORA demand.
What happens on the day of the disaster
The same incident, two very different Mondays.
| Backups only | Backups + PlanB | |
|---|---|---|
Server room fails or is encrypted | searching for new equipment | servers start in the MDP CLOUD cloud |
Time until work resumes | days to weeks | agreed RTO: hours |
Who restores | your IT team, or whoever is available | MDP CLOUD, following a documented plan |
Staff access | once a new network exists | VPN + 2FA from anywhere |
SAP Business One, Microsoft 365, files | one by one, when it works out | following a priority list |
Has the plan been tested | usually not | drills on a schedule, with a report |
NIS2 / DORA business continuity requirements | hard to demonstrate | documented and tested |
Returning to your own environment | – | we move the data back once your environment is fixed |
How PlanB works
Prepared in calm times, activated on the day of the disaster.
Replication to MDP CLOUD
Server and database backups are replicated to the MDP CLOUD data centre in Lithuania (EU), and the recovery environment (network, VPN, access) is prepared in advance, so nothing has to be built on the day of the disaster.
Drills
We regularly restore critical systems into an isolated environment and measure the time. The drill report is evidence for your auditor and supervisory authority under NIS2 and DORA.
Disaster day
A named person activates the plan. We start the servers following the priority list, enable VPN access for staff and keep you informed. The business keeps working while your environment is investigated, cleaned or rebuilt.
Return
Once your environment is fixed, we move the data back without loss, review what could be improved and update the plan.
Frequently asked questions about PlanB
What is the recovery time (RTO)?
It depends on the number of systems and the level you choose, from a few hours for critical systems to a working day for the whole infrastructure. We write the specific RTO into the contract and verify it in drills.
Do we pay for the recovery environment while it is not in use?
You pay for replication and the reserved recovery capacity, which costs far less than running servers. Full resources are switched on only when the plan is activated or during a drill.
How do employees reach the restored environment?
Through a VPN with two-factor authentication from anywhere: home, another office or a phone hotspot. Access is prepared in advance and we simply switch it on on the day of the disaster.
Does this meet NIS2 and DORA?
Both require a documented and tested business continuity and recovery plan. That is exactly what PlanB is, with RTO / RPO, drill reports and responsibilities you can present to an auditor.
