Quick summary

Backup readiness calculator for business continuity planning

This backup readiness calculator helps business owners, office managers, IT administrators, and IT leaders quickly review the operational, security, cloud, backup, documentation, and support details that affect recovery.

Use it to check servers, Microsoft 365, cloud systems, ransomware resilience, restore testing, recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, and documentation. Results are calculated locally in your browser and are not submitted to IT Perfection.

What to check

Backup coverage, success monitoring, offsite copies, immutability, restore tests, Microsoft 365 recovery, and runbooks.

Why it matters

Backups only protect the business when they are complete, protected, tested, and aligned to recovery expectations.

Business impact

Weak recovery planning can extend downtime, increase data loss, delay ransomware recovery, and raise support costs.
