Recovery Force® Data Recovery Forum

Hi everyone,

As part of a SysOps team, we manage infrastructure that spans both Windows and Linux servers (on-prem and cloud). We’re currently refining our backup and disaster recovery workflows, especially for critical services and databases.

I’d love to hear how others in the community are approaching:

Automated backups: What tools/scripts do you use for cross-platform backups (e.g., rsync, Veeam, Duplicati, Borg, or something custom)?

Disaster recovery: How do you handle VM snapshots, cold storage, and offsite recovery for business continuity?

File system integrity: Any recommended practices or tools for early detection of corruption or silent data loss?

Testing recovery: How often do you test your restores, and do you automate this process?

We’re aiming for a setup that minimizes manual effort but maintains reliability and quick restore capability, especially in high-availability environments.

If anyone has insights, tools, or even "lessons learned the hard way," I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks,
