Why Testing Your Backup System Matters:
‍You might think you have a working backup… but until you test it, you’re stuck in uncertainty.
‍
That’s why we call it Schrödinger’s Backup — it both works & doesn’t work… until the moment you really need it.

‍🔄 The Illusion of Safety:
‍Far too often, businesses believe they're protected by automatic backups — until disaster strikes. Then they find:
• Files were never actually backed up.
• Backup media failed or wasn’t connected.
• Cloud services weren’t configured properly.
• Recovery takes days instead of minutes.
• Critical data is incomplete or corrupted.
A backup that hasn’t been tested might as well not exist.

‍🧰 Backup ≠ Recovery:
‍There’s a big difference between having a backup & being able to recover from it. At StumpTown MSP, we design, deploy, & test Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solutions that don’t just store data — they prove they work.

‍✅ How We Test Your Backups:
‍Our comprehensive Backup Validation & Recovery Testing includes:
• Automated Backup Monitoring – Ensure all jobs complete successfully.
• Routine Restoration Tests – Simulate real-world recovery events.
• Disaster Recovery Drills – Verify recovery time objectives (RTOs) & data integrity.
• Offsite & Cloud Restoration Testing – Confirm secondary systems are functional.
• Encryption & Integrity Audits – Ensure backups aren’t corrupted or compromised.
We believe a backup is only as good as the last time it was tested.

‍⚠️ The Risks of Not Testing:
‍Without routine testing, you're at risk for:
• Lost Productivity – Hours or days of downtime.
• Lost Revenue – Inability to serve customers.
• Reputation Damage – Public trust loss after data loss.
• Regulatory Penalties – Non-compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, etc.

‍🎯 StumpTown MSP’s Proven BDR Approach:
‍We don’t just install backup systems — we ensure they work under pressure:
• Local & Cloud Backup Solutions.
• Image-Based & File-Level Recovery.
• Encrypted Offsite Storage.
• Scheduled Recovery Tests.
• Executive Reports & Compliance Logs.

‍🧠 Tech Insight:
‍“If your backup hasn't been tested, it is called a Schrödinger's Backup — it may or may not save you when it matters most.”
— Brent Kimble, Founder & CEO, StumpTown MSP
