Every business that has lost data without a working backup describes it the same way: they thought they had one — until they needed it.

At Webtech Nepal, we design, implement, and manage backup and disaster recovery systems that protect your business from the full spectrum of data loss events — not just the catastrophic ones you imagine, but the routine ones that actually happen most frequently: a developer accidentally overwrites a critical database table, a hosting provider’s storage hardware fails, a ransomware attack encrypts your files, a bad plugin update corrupts your WordPress installation, or a well-intentioned but untested migration destroys months of customer data. Each of these is a different type of disaster requiring a different type of recovery, and a backup system designed only for one scenario provides false confidence against the others.
The difference between a backup that provides genuine business continuity and one that merely exists on paper is verification — a backup nobody has tested restoring is a hypothesis, not an asset. We build backup systems grounded in realistic Recovery Time Objectives (how quickly your business needs to be operational) and Recovery Point Objectives (how much data your business can afford to lose), test recovery procedures regularly against real failure scenarios, and document runbooks so recovery can be executed quickly and correctly even under the pressure and disorientation of an actual incident. Whether you run a simple business website, a high-traffic e-commerce platform, or a complex web application managing customer data, we build the backup and recovery capability your business genuinely needs rather than the minimum that satisfies a checkbox.

We provide tailored solutions built on creativity, precision, and trust - ensuring quality results and a smooth experience every step of the way.

Fields of Expertise

We design and manage backup and disaster recovery systems that protect Nepali businesses from data loss — with tested restoration procedures that make recovery fast, reliable, and complete when it matters most.

Automated Daily Website Backups

Fully automated daily backups of your complete website environment — all application files, the full database, uploaded media, configuration files, and any custom scripts — running on a scheduled basis without requiring manual initiation or verification from your team. Backups are confirmed successful on completion with immediate alerting on failure, so you always know whether today's backup ran and whether it is complete rather than discovering a months-long backup failure only at the moment a restore is needed.

Off-Site & Geographically Separate Storage

Backup storage on infrastructure completely separate from your hosting environment — in a different data centre, different cloud provider, or different geographic region — ensuring that a server failure, data centre fire, provider outage, or ransomware attack that destroys your live environment cannot simultaneously destroy your backup. Backups stored on the same server as the live website, or in the same cloud account that gets compromised, offer false security; genuine off-site isolation is the non-negotiable foundation of meaningful disaster recovery.

Backup Integrity Verification & Restore Testing

Regular verification of backup files and scheduled restore tests performed against a staging environment — confirming that backups are not corrupted, that restoration procedures work as documented, and that the restored website or application functions correctly after recovery. Most backup failures are discovered only during actual disaster recovery attempts; our proactive testing ensures that the backup you are counting on is actually restorable before you need to count on it under the pressure of a real incident.

RTO & RPO Planning & Implementation

Business-driven disaster recovery planning grounded in your specific Recovery Time Objective (the maximum acceptable time for your website to be offline during recovery) and Recovery Point Objective (the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time). We translate these business requirements into concrete technical specifications — backup frequency, replication strategy, failover architecture, and recovery procedure design — ensuring the backup system is calibrated to what your business can actually tolerate losing rather than what is technically convenient to implement.

Database Backup & Point-in-Time Recovery

Dedicated database backup strategies covering full daily snapshots, transaction log backups for databases requiring point-in-time recovery, and database-specific export formats that allow restoration to a precise moment before data corruption or accidental deletion — not just to the most recent full backup that may itself contain corrupted data. For e-commerce businesses where every order record and every customer account represents real revenue and real legal obligation, database integrity and point-in-time recovery capability are requirements, not optional enhancements.

Incremental & Differential Backup Systems

Efficient backup architectures using incremental and differential strategies that capture only changed data since the previous backup — reducing backup storage costs, shortening backup completion windows, and making more frequent backup intervals economically viable for businesses that cannot afford daily-only recovery granularity. We design the appropriate backup rotation policy for your data change rate and recovery needs, balancing storage efficiency against the number of restore points available and the complexity of reconstruction during recovery from multiple incremental sets.

Encrypted Backup Storage & Secure Transmission

End-to-end encryption of all backup data — encrypted in transit using TLS during upload to backup storage, and encrypted at rest using AES-256 in the backup destination — ensuring that your backup files cannot be read by storage providers, intercepted in transit, or exploited if backup storage credentials are ever compromised. For businesses handling customer personal data, financial records, or any information subject to confidentiality obligations, encrypted backup storage is not optional; it is a basic data protection requirement that extends your security posture to cover recovery assets, not just live systems.

Emergency Data Recovery & Restoration

Rapid emergency restoration services when data loss has already occurred — recovering websites, databases, and application states from backup following server failures, cyberattacks, accidental deletions, failed migrations, hosting provider incidents, and other disaster scenarios. We execute restoration systematically: identifying the most recent clean recovery point, verifying backup integrity before attempting restoration, executing the restore procedure in the correct sequence, validating the restored application is fully functional, and communicating status throughout the recovery process so you know what is happening and when to expect full restoration.

Disaster Recovery Runbook Development

Documented recovery procedures written for execution under the cognitive load and time pressure of an actual disaster — step-by-step runbooks covering every recovery scenario your infrastructure is exposed to, with clear decision trees, access credentials reference (stored securely), vendor escalation contacts, and validation checklists that confirm each step completed correctly before proceeding to the next. A recovery runbook that exists only in the knowledge of your current technical team is not a disaster recovery plan; it is a single point of failure that assumes the people who know the system are available and functional during the crisis that requires their knowledge most urgently.

Cloud Backup & Multi-Region Replication

Cloud-native backup implementations using AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage with multi-region replication — distributing backup copies across geographically separated data centres so regional infrastructure failures, natural disasters, or provider-level incidents affecting a single location cannot destroy all available recovery points simultaneously. Multi-region backup storage adds minimal cost for most website and application backup volumes while providing the geographic redundancy that transforms a backup system from adequate to genuinely resilient against the broader range of scenarios that real-world infrastructure incidents present.

Backup Retention Policy & Version Management

Structured backup retention policies that balance storage costs against the recovery window your business requires — maintaining daily backups for recent recovery flexibility, weekly backups for medium-term rollback capability, and monthly backups for long-term archival recovery needs. Retention policies are configured to comply with any regulatory data retention obligations applicable to your industry and jurisdiction, and automated lifecycle management deletes expired backups according to policy rather than accumulating indefinitely and incurring unnecessary storage costs or creating confusion about which restore point represents which state of the website.

Backup Reporting & Recovery Readiness Reviews

Monthly backup status reports confirming the success of all scheduled backup jobs, storage consumption by backup set, retention policy compliance, and the results of any restore tests conducted during the period — alongside a recovery readiness score that assesses whether your current backup and recovery capability matches your stated business continuity requirements. Quarterly recovery readiness reviews examine whether changes to your website infrastructure, data volumes, or business continuity requirements since the last review necessitate changes to backup frequency, retention policy, storage strategy, or recovery procedures.

Our Process

Business Continuity Requirements Assessment

We begin every backup and disaster recovery engagement by understanding the specific business requirements that will drive all subsequent technical decisions — establishing your Recovery Time Objective (what is the maximum acceptable downtime your business can sustain without serious operational or financial consequences), your Recovery Point Objective (how much data, measured in time, your business can afford to lose in a worst-case scenario), the specific disaster scenarios your infrastructure is most exposed to given your hosting environment and software stack, and any regulatory or contractual data retention obligations your business operates under. These requirements translate directly into specific technical specifications that make the backup system appropriate to your actual risk profile rather than generic.

Current State Audit & Gap Analysis

We audit your existing backup arrangements — if any — against the requirements established in phase one: assessing what is currently being backed up and what is excluded, how frequently backups run and whether they have been completing successfully, where backups are stored and whether that storage is genuinely isolated from your live environment, when backups were last tested by attempting a restoration and what the outcome was, how long a recovery would take given the current backup architecture, and what documentation exists for recovery procedures. Most businesses discover significant gaps between what they assumed their backup system covered and what it actually protects against — identifying these gaps before a disaster is the entire purpose of this assessment.

Backup Architecture Design & Storage Selection

Based on your RTO, RPO, data volumes, budget, and risk profile, we design the appropriate backup architecture — selecting backup tools suitable for your platform and hosting environment, specifying backup frequency and scope for each system component, choosing off-site storage destinations with appropriate geographic separation, designing the backup rotation and retention policy, and planning the encryption scheme for data in transit and at rest. We document the complete architecture before implementation so every design decision and its rationale is recorded — making the system understandable, auditable, and maintainable by any competent technical team rather than opaque to anyone who was not present during its construction.

Backup System Implementation & Configuration

We implement the designed backup system — installing and configuring backup agents or tools appropriate to your platform, establishing authentication to off-site storage with least-privilege credentials, configuring backup schedules and scope, implementing encryption for transit and storage, setting up success and failure alerting, configuring retention policy enforcement, and establishing monitoring of backup job status. The first full backup of every configured system is verified manually after implementation — confirming file counts, archive integrity, and storage delivery — before establishing the ongoing automated regime. We also verify that backup storage permissions are correctly locked down so backup files cannot be modified or deleted by the same credentials that could be compromised in a ransomware attack on the live environment.

Recovery Procedure Development & Runbook Documentation

We develop and document the complete set of recovery procedures for each disaster scenario your infrastructure is exposed to — covering the step-by-step actions required to restore from backup following each scenario type, the sequence in which components must be restored to maintain data consistency, validation steps that confirm each restoration stage completed correctly before proceeding, estimated recovery timelines for each scenario, and escalation paths if the documented procedure encounters an unexpected obstacle. Runbooks are written for execution by a competent technical person who was not present during the backup system's implementation — because disaster recovery rarely happens under ideal conditions with ideal staffing.

Recovery Testing & Validation

We conduct a full recovery test against a staging environment — executing the documented restoration procedure from the most recent backup, timing the recovery process against the RTO, validating that all application components function correctly in the restored state, and identifying any gaps between the documented procedure and the actual steps required. Recovery test results are documented with findings and any procedure updates required to reflect what the test revealed. We schedule recovery testing on a quarterly basis going forward, because a backup system that passes a test today may fail a test six months later if the application architecture changes without corresponding updates to the recovery procedures, making regular testing as important as the initial validation.

Ongoing Management, Monitoring & Continuous Review

We provide structured ongoing management of your backup and disaster recovery systems — monitoring daily backup job completion with immediate alerting on failure, reviewing storage consumption trends and adjusting retention policies before storage limits are approached, updating backup scope and procedures when website infrastructure changes, conducting quarterly recovery tests and updating runbooks based on findings, and delivering monthly backup status reports with recovery readiness assessments. Annual disaster recovery reviews reassess your RTO and RPO requirements against your business's current scale and risk profile, ensuring the backup and recovery capability continues to match your business continuity obligations as your website grows, your data volumes increase, and your operational dependence on digital continuity deepens over time.
