Disaster Recovery & BCP
Ensuring business continuity with robust backup and recovery strategies.
We design, implement, and test disaster recovery programmes — backup architectures and failover systems — so you can recover from any incident.
A Disaster Recovery Plan That Has Never Been Tested Is Not a Plan
Most organisations have some form of backup, but few have tested their recovery process under realistic conditions. We build plans that are engineered and tested.
Every system gets a defined RTO (how long until it is back online) and RPO (how much data can be lost), and every procedure is validated against those targets.
Business Continuity Planning covers operational procedures your business needs during an incident — communications and manual fallback processes.
Service Inclusions
Backup Architecture
3-2-1 backup strategy: automated backups, off-site replication, and regular restoration testing.
Failover Systems
Active-passive failover for critical systems with automated health check-triggered triggers.
RTO/RPO Engineering
Recovery objectives defined per system and engineered using the right replication strategy.
DR Runbooks
Step-by-step recovery procedures for every critical system, written for clear execution during an incident.
DR Testing Programme
Annual full DR drill with simulated production failure and timed recovery execution.
Communication Plan
Stakeholder notification matrix and customer communication templates for incident scenarios.
A Process Built for Clarity
No black boxes. No surprise invoices. Every project at Codewingz follows a disciplined four-phase process designed to reduce risk and maximise value at every stage.
Impact Analysis
Critical system inventory and RTO/RPO target definition based on business impact.
Current Assessment
Audit of existing backup configurations and recovery procedures — identifying gaps.
Architecture Design
Backup architecture, failover strategy, and recovery procedure design approved.
Implementation
Backup jobs configured, replication enabled, and monitoring set up.
Runbook Development
Step-by-step recovery runbooks written and validated by the engineering team.
DR Test
Full DR test conducted: production traffic shifted to DR, RTO measured, and gaps identified.
The Tech Stack
We select technologies based on performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability, not trends.
AWS / Azure Backup
Specialized implementation of AWS / Azure Backup in the Managed Backup space.
Velero
Specialized implementation of Velero in the Kubernetes Backup space.
Terraform
Specialized implementation of Terraform in the IaC space.
Route 53
Specialized implementation of Route 53 in the DNS Failover space.
Real-World Impact
EduPath Learning
The Challenge
“An EdTech platform had backups but never tested recovery. A region maintenance window caused 6 hours of unexpected downtime.”
The Solution
We implemented cross-region automated backups, Route 53 DNS failover, and conducted a full DR test achieving a 47-minute RTO.
