Untested Backup Systems
Trust but verify — Russian proverb/Reagan (1987)
Baltimore's city systems were hit by ransomware in May 2019. [1] Officials couldn't confirm backups were tested or viable. [2] Recent backups infected. Older ones never tested. Recovery cost: $18 million.
The Problem
Having backups and having working backups are two completely different things. Most organizations never test restores until disaster strikes—then discover their backups are corrupted, incomplete, or infected. By the time you need them, it's already too late to fix them.
- Ransomware infects systems weeks before encrypting your data
- Backup systems report success despite corrupted backup files
- Manual restore testing takes hours nobody does regularly
- Only sixty-three percent successfully restore despite having backups
- Untested backups fail exactly when you need them
Automatic Backup Verification
Rediacc doesn't just create backups—it verifies them by testing actual restoration. Every backup is proven to work before you need it in an emergency.
- Automatic verification by testing real restore operations daily
- Know immediately if backups are corrupted or incomplete
- Access clean tested backups from before any infection
- No manual testing required automatic validation runs continuously
- Every backup proven working before you need it
