Verify recovery, not just backups
A backup is useful only if it can restore the required site and data. Check coverage, retention, and restoration steps, then test recovery in a safe environment before relying on it. Document what was tested and what the team learned.
Preserve relevant evidence, contain the issue, and assess affected data and functions. Recovery should address the cause rather than restore an infected copy. Document responsibilities so delivery does not depend on assumptions.
Make the plan fit your market
Check the details customers in Tampa rely on: opening hours, current services, appointment links, phone numbers, and service coverage. Verify that requests reach the correct staff, especially when operating hours or seasonal availability change. Explain any real service-area limits that affect customers in Tampa.
Keep a separate backup and test that it can be restored. A successful backup notification does not demonstrate that recovery will work. Check the rights to photographs, quotations, and licensed material.
