AL Group provides virtual machine backup for organisations that need service recovery, with engineering attention across protected copies, dependencies, recovery objectives and testing.
Best suited to: Businesses that need confidence that systems and data can be recovered after failure, ransomware, deletion or a wider site/cloud incident.
Our virtual machine backup service combines assessment, architecture, implementation, documentation and operational handover. We design around the existing estate, business constraints and support model instead of forcing a fixed vendor playbook. The objective is to prove that important services can be recovered when primary systems fail.
A documented virtual machine backup design
Reduced configuration drift and operational risk
Clear ownership and support boundaries
Security controls designed into the service
Monitoring and recovery considered from day one
A practical roadmap for future change
Recovery objectives are mapped to applications, identities, infrastructure, data, dependencies and backup isolation. A successful backup job is treated as evidence of copying, not evidence of recoverability.
We identify critical services, define RPO/RTO targets, design copy and retention policy, establish immutable or isolated protection where appropriate and test representative restores.
Backup failures, capacity, retention, restore tests and recovery runbooks become monitored operational controls rather than occasional project tasks.
Engagements range from backup remediation through full business service recovery design and managed protection.
Understand the estate, business constraints, existing risks, dependencies and what success must look like.
Define the target state, security controls, support model, migration path and measurable acceptance criteria.
Implement in controlled stages with validation, documented decisions and backout planning.
Hand over cleanly or continue into managed operation, monitoring, optimisation and lifecycle management.
Yes. We normally begin with discovery and documentation, then agree which risks need immediate remediation and which can be addressed through a controlled improvement plan.
Yes. Engagements can be fully outsourced, co-managed or project-based. Responsibilities and escalation boundaries are documented so work is not duplicated or left ownerless.
Yes. Where appropriate we can provide monitoring, support, lifecycle management and continuous improvement after implementation.
Yes. Maintainable diagrams, configuration records, implementation decisions and operational runbooks are treated as deliverables rather than optional extras.
Tell us the current state, required outcome, dependencies and constraints. We can assess, design, deliver and continue operating the result.
Tell us what is not working, what you are trying to improve, or what you want to build next.
