Manufacturing, 120 employees

A RAID failure with no backups could have halted production — we prevented the data loss

Daily backups with restore verification now in place — the risk of a production halt from data loss is gone

A manufacturing company kept its 1C databases and document flow on a single server with no backups. We rolled out multi-tier backups before it caused actual data loss.

The audit found that all critical information — 1C databases, accounting, production documents — lived on a single server with no backups. The array’s disks already showed wear: increasing failures and self-diagnostic errors.

What we did

We rolled out a 3-2-1 backup scheme: local copies on separate storage, daily cloud uploads, and weekly integrity checks via test restores. We replaced the worn disks before the array failed.

Result

The company now has guaranteed data recovery within hours instead of facing total loss of production data. The disks were replaced on a planned schedule, with zero downtime.
