In the U. S. , Marsh recorded a 130% increase in cyber‑rate between Q4 2020 and Q4 2021 (Marsh Global Insurance Market Index Q4 2021). In response, underwriters have raised their expectations. Many now require immutable, off-site backups and regular testing. Veeam’s guidance on immutable backup solutions notes many cyber‑insurance policies explicitly require immutability and proof of restore testing (Veeam Blog: "Immutable Backup Solutions"). Typical Application Questions (Real Examples)Real cyber-insurance application: underwriters want evidence you test restores—not just store backups. Are disaster recovery and business continuity plans in place and tested annually? (Chubb)Do you have a backup solution with immutable backups? (Corvus)How long do you expect it to take to recover from backups in the event of a widespread malware or ransomware attack within your network? (Tokio Marine HCC)How many hours does it take the applicant to fully restore their systems? (USLI)Is full recovery from a backup tested at least annually? (Axis) Key Takeaway The more often you can prove a clean, full-system restore, and the faster that restore completes, the stronger your negotiating position at renewal. Proof That Testing Pays OffOrganizations with a practiced incident‑response plan (including tested restores) cut breach costs by 58 % on average (IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024).

Naturally, they turn to their managed service providers (MSPs) for help, often asking the same urgent question: “Can you get us back up and running after a disaster? ” Why Backup Alone Isn’t Enough Most MSPs already offer backup-as-a-service. But backups only protect your data, they don’t guarantee your client’s business keeps running. Without a recovery platform, backups alone leave you scrambling during a real incident: Where do we restore this data to? How do we provision the environment? How long will it take to be operational again? Without disaster recovery infrastructure, even the best backups are just static files. You still need to rebuild the infrastructure, reconfigure systems, and coordinate timing, turning what should be a smooth recovery into a stressful scramble. Key Differences Between Backup and Disaster Recovery Read more on the differences between backup vs disaster recovery How Traditional DRaaS Solves This Traditional Disaster Recovery as A Service (DRaaS) uses real-time replication to a hot site or warm site. These environments are pre-provisioned and ready to take over in the event of a failure.

Failback—the process of returning workloads from Cloud IBR’s Bare Metal Cloud back to your production environment—is one of the most complex and high-risk steps in disaster recovery. Every Cloud IBR tier (Silver, Gold, and Platinum+) automates failover, ensuring your Veeam backups spin up instantly in a Bare Metal Cloud environment, but with Silver and Gold, your team must manually handle failback. If your IT team lacks the time or expertise to manage this process, Platinum+ ensures that Cloud IBR’s Veeam Certified Experts handle it for you. What Happens in Each Tier? With Silver and Gold, your team is responsible for executing the failback process manually. With Platinum+, Cloud IBR’s Veeam Certified Experts takes full ownership of returning workloads to your production environment. What Does Failback Look Like? Failback is a multi-step process that requires careful execution to ensure a successful return to production. Here’s how the process differs: Without Platinum+ (Silver & Gold): Your Team Handles Failback Your IT team must: Manually configure IP whitelisting, VPN/firewall rules Build and configure a recovery infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox) Ensure Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) is installed and ready for restores Manually initiate and monitor data replication back to production Ensure production backups run successfully post-failback These steps require technical expertise and time, and a misconfiguration could extend downtime significantly.

Although they share the common goal of data protection, they serve distinct purposes. Regardless of how much you have invested in your backup system, how sophisticated it is, or whether you are following the 3-2-1 rule; backups alone are not enough to classify as disaster recovery, nor are they a DR plan. Before looking at these differences and comparing the two, it is important to first understand what each is and how they play an essential part in creating a robust strategy to safeguard your business against disruptions. What is BackupBackup involves creating copies of critical data to protect against data loss. These copies are securely stored in various locations, such as external hard drives, cloud storage, or a mix of both. Backups are designed to ensure data preservation, allowing you to restore files or datasets in case of accidental deletion or corruption. For instance, exporting data from a CRM and storing it in one of these locations would be seen as performing a backup. These copies are snapshots of the business information that the organization needs in order to carry out important functions. However, backups are limited to the data only and do not include the systems or infrastructure to manage the data. For example, while a backup may store all customer information as a CSV file, it would not include the tools or processes to send DRIP emails, flag leads, or assign tasks. Restoring the... --- ### Failover vs. Failback: Key Differences & Their Role in Disaster Recovery > Learn the role failover and failback play in an effective DR strategy and how they work together to protect your business from costly downtime and data loss. - Published: 2024-12-13 - Modified: 2025-04-15 - URL: https://cloudibrdev.wpengine.com/failover-vs-failback-key-differences-their-role-in-disaster-recovery/ - Categories: Blogs Businesses face a constant threat of unexpected disruptions. Whether it's a natural disaster, cyberattack, or simple power outage, these events can bring operations to a standstill. Depending on the length and severity of the outage, businesses can lose revenue and erode customer trust. Having an up to date disaster recovery (DR) plan, and testing it frequently can help mitigate these risks and protect against data loss, and extended downtime. A key part of any DR plan is outlining the processes for failover and failback – operations that keep your business running during disruptions and enable a smooth transition back to your normal environment once the crisis is over. What Is Failover? Failover is the process of switching your critical applications and data to a temporary backup environment when your production environment encounters an outage. Unlike traditional disaster recovery solutions that rely on expensive standby hot sites, cloud backup recovery solutions like Cloud IBR automate failover by recovering Veeam backups stored offsite in object storage solutions such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or Cloudian. This eliminates the need to maintain costly duplicate repositories. How Does Failover Work? Failover relies on having backups of your critical data readily available. These backups are created using a backup and recovery software like Veeam, and can be stored securely on prem, offsite in object storage or in a private cloud. When your primary system fails your backup environment is deployed to a bare metal cloud server. This becomes your temporary environment and allows operations to continue... --- ### SMBs and MSPs: Mastering Disasters in 2025 > Learn how BRaaS, immutability, and compliance solutions can drive value and mitigate risk in 2025. - Published: 2024-11-20 - Modified: 2025-04-15 - URL: https://cloudibrdev.wpengine.com/smbs-and-msps-mastering-disasters-in-2025/ - Categories: News As businesses continue to struggle with escalating cyber threats and natural disasters, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs) face on-going challenges in data protection and disaster recovery. Insights from Cloud IBR, validated with findings from Veeam's 2024 Ransomware Trends Report, are shared in its 2025 predictions for the SMB and MSP as originally featured in VMblog. com:Key Highlights:Elevated Ransomware Threats: Ransomware continues to disrupt operations, with a significant number of organizations experiencing multiple attacks in recent years. Veeam's report reveals that 41% of data is compromised during a cyberattack, and only 57% of that data is recoverable, underscoring the necessity for robust, multi-layered data protection strategies. Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery for SMBs: Traditional disaster recovery solutions often exceed the budgets of SMBs, leading many to operate without adequate safeguards. The emergence of Backup Recovery as a Service (BRaaS) offers a scalable, affordable alternative, enabling SMBs to implement comprehensive disaster recovery without substantial capital expenditure. Enhanced Compliance Demands: The regulatory environment is intensifying, with increased scrutiny of compliance and security standards. SMBs, cloud providers, and MSPs must navigate complex audit requirements, necessitating solutions that streamline compliance reporting and ensure adherence to evolving regulations. The Hidden Costs of Inaction: Opting against investing in disaster recovery can lead to significant financial and reputational damage. MSPs provide a compelling value proposition by offering expertise, reducing capital and operational expenses, and mitigating liability risks associated with data breaches or downtime. Veeam's survey indicates that the ransom payment constitutes only 32% of the... --- ### When Should a Disaster Recovery Plan be Tested > Ensure your DR plan is up-to-date and effective. Find out how often to test, key times to review, and best practices for resilient business continuity. - Published: 2024-11-15 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://cloudibrdev.wpengine.com/when-should-a-disaster-recovery-plan-be-tested/ - Categories: Blogs Having a disaster recovery (DR) plan is only the first step in protecting your company from data loss and ensuring business continuity in the presence of an unplanned event. In order for a DR plan to be effective it must be periodically reviewed, updated and tested using best practices. Failing to do so opens up your business to the following risks:Operational Downtime: Without regular testing, gaps in your DR plan can lead to prolonged operational disruptions, impacting revenue and customer satisfaction. Financial Impact: Unplanned downtime risks immediate revenue loss and can weaken your business’s financial stability over time. Reputational Damage: Service interruptions and unaddressed disruptions can erode customer trust and stakeholder confidence, diminishing your brand’s reliability. Legal and Compliance Vulnerabilities: Insufficient DR testing leaves your business open to compliance breaches, regulatory penalties and legal exposure. Security Gaps: Unverified recovery protocols create opportunities for cyber threats, increasing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. Slow or Incomplete Recovery: Lack of preparation can complicate or delay recovery efforts, causing extended downtime and disorganized restoration of critical systems. How Often Should Your DR Plan be Tested? While industry standards provide general guidelines that businesses should test their DR plan at least once a year, optimal testing frequency depends on your specific resources and business needs. Testing more frequently can prevent costly outages by catching issues early, making it a sound investment in resilience. Annual Testing (Minimum)Testing once a year is the baseline, but gaps can emerge quickly. Annual testing alone may not... --- ### New Opportunities for MSPs: Backup and Recovery as a Service (BRaaS) > Discover how MSPs can utilize Backup and Recovery as a Service (BRaaS) to capitalize on growing demand, offer scalable solutions, and generate more revenue. - Published: 2024-11-13 - Modified: 2025-04-15 - URL: https://cloudibrdev.wpengine.com/new-opportunities-for-msps-backup-and-recovery-as-a-service-braas/ - Categories: News As cyber threats and natural disasters continue to put organizations at risk, MSPs are finding a unique opportunity to support clients through Backup and Recovery as a Service (BRaaS).

Though these powerful tools and the information they provide bring many advantages to small business owners, they come with an inherent risk, data protection. What if there is a disaster like a fire or power surge? What happens if this data is lost? What will it cost to rebuild, or recover? The answer is something most businesses don’t want to find out. At least not in practice. Without a disaster recovery plan in place, the disruption can cause a steep loss in revenue, customers, and permanent damage to reputation. The 3-2-1-1-0 Rule: Backup’s Role In Disaster RecoveryThe first step to being able to recover data is to have it backed up and in multiple places. The 3-2-1-1-0 rule is an update to the widely referenced 3-2-1 backup strategy where businesses should have 3 copies of their data. The first is the original copy and the second two are backups, plus immutability and backup testing validation for a secure business continuity/disaster recovery plan. This strategy also requires that the copies be stored on two different types of media, like an external hard drive, or cloud storage. Lastly, one of the copies must be off site so in the event of a natural disaster, it is recoverable. Three Data Copies: Maintain three copies of your data to align with traditional backup strategies. Two Media Types: Use two different types of media for redundancy, including cloud... --- ### Case Study: Weathering Storms: How Boreal Capital Management Ensured Business Continuity with Cloud IBR > Cloud IBR worked with Boreal Capital Management to ensure business continuity.
