# Disaster Recovery & Continuity

## Structured Recovery for AEC Environments

AEC organisations operate under contractual and reputational pressure. Extended downtime impacts project delivery and client confidence. Disaster recovery must therefore be structured, validated and aligned with operational criticality.

NexSys designs recovery architecture around defined Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), incorporating offsite replication, immutable storage layers and structured business continuity planning.

## What We Deliver

###### Recovery Objective Design  
RPO and RTO targets defined with leadership teams based on operational criticality.

###### Offsite Replication  
Geographic resilience through offsite replication ensuring data availability during disruption.

###### Immutable Storage  
Backup immutability protecting against ransomware encryption or malicious deletion.

###### Restoration Testing  
Regular restoration exercises confirming backup integrity and recovery speed.

###### Business Continuity Planning  
Operational procedures defined for communication, interim workflows and structured response.

###### System Classification  
Systems classified by operational importance to establish realistic recovery targets.

## How We Deliver Disaster Recovery

Resilience must be engineered and rehearsed. NexSys structures disaster recovery around defined objectives, validated backup frameworks and operational continuity planning.

### 01 Defining Recovery Objectives  
Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) vary by system. NexSys works with leadership teams to classify systems based on operational importance and establish realistic recovery targets.  
- System criticality classification  
- RPO and RTO target definition  
- Recovery architecture design

### 02 Backup and Replication Frameworks  
Backup strategies incorporate offsite replication, immutable storage layers and structured retention controls. Immutability protects backups from ransomware compromise.  
- Offsite replication and geographic resilience  
- Immutable storage layers  
- Regular restoration testing

### 03 Business Continuity Planning  
Technical recovery alone is insufficient. Business continuity planning defines operational procedures during disruption, including communication frameworks and interim workflows.  
- Communication frameworks during disruption  
- Interim operational workflows  
- Structured response procedures

## Why NexSys for Disaster Recovery

### AEC-Aligned Recovery  
Recovery architecture designed around project delivery obligations and contractual pressure.

### Immutable Protection  
Backup immutability protecting against ransomware and malicious deletion.

### Validated Recovery  
Regular restoration testing confirming integrity rather than introducing false confidence.

### Continuity Planning  
Operational procedures that transform uncertainty into structured response.

**Best for:** AEC firms requiring validated disaster recovery frameworks aligned with project delivery obligations and contractual compliance.
