Backup Architecture & Strategy
Protect every workload. Preserve every recovery point.
Jiva Technologies designs, integrates, and supports enterprise backup and data-protection environments across physical, virtual, database, endpoint, SaaS, and cloud workloads. Architectures follow the 3-2-1-1-0 principle with immutable or logically isolated repositories, tiered retention, encryption, and validated recovery aligned to Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Veritas, Dell, HPE.
Physical, virtual, database, endpoint, SaaS, and cloud.
Isolated repositories and verified restores.
What we deliver
Backup Posture Assessment
Assess current backup coverage, restore success, retention alignment, immutability posture, encryption, and licensing across on-premises, virtual, SaaS, and cloud workloads to establish a baseline and gap view.
3-2-1-1-0 Architecture
Design backup architectures aligned to the 3-2-1-1-0 principle — multiple copies, multiple media, an offsite copy, an immutable or logically isolated copy, and verified integrity across the estate.
Immutable & Isolated Repositories
Integrate hardened repositories, object-lock storage, and logically isolated targets designed to protect backup data from accidental deletion, malicious activity, and ransomware.
Multi-Workload Protection
Protect physical servers, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, containerised workloads, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, file services, endpoints, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace.
Retention, Encryption & Access
Design tiered retention, archive, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and audit logging aligned with regulatory, contractual, and customer requirements.
Platform Integration & Migration
Integrate, migrate, and consolidate backup platforms such as Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Veritas, Dell Technologies, and HPE — including agent deployment, catalogue migration, and cutover from legacy tooling.
Validation & Lifecycle Support
Restore validation, capacity and retention optimisation, platform patching, version upgrades, and scheduled operational reviews to keep the backup estate healthy over time.
Why teams call us
- Green backup jobs without tested recovery
Job status is healthy, yet restore success, application consistency, and time-to-recover have not been measured across representative workloads.
- SaaS and cloud workloads outside protection scope
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cloud-native workloads are assumed to be protected by the platform provider, leaving user error and ransomware exposure.
- Retention no longer matches obligations
Backup retention policies have drifted from current regulatory, contractual, and customer expectations, creating over-retention cost or under-retention risk.
- Repositories lack immutability or isolation
Backup targets share credentials, network segments, or capacity with production, with limited immutability, administrative separation, or capacity planning.
Our approach
Backup architecture engineered to restore — immutable, verified, and policy-aligned across physical, virtual, database, cloud, and SaaS workloads.
- Assess
Inventory physical, virtual, database, cloud, endpoint, and SaaS workloads; review job success, restore history, retention, licensing, and repository health.
- Design
Create a 3-2-1-1-0 aligned architecture with immutable or isolated copies, tiered retention, encryption, access control, and recovery requirements per workload tier.
- Implement & Migrate
Deploy or modernise the backup platform, integrate repositories, migrate legacy jobs, configure policies, and document the resulting environment.
- Validate & Support
Perform representative restore tests, remediate failures, optimise capacity, plan upgrades, and coordinate vendor technical-support cases as required.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix Backup Failures — Remediation Sprints
Backup jobs failing, workloads unprotected, retention drifted, or restores unverified? Jiva Technologies delivers a defined-scope backup remediation engagement — root-cause analysis of failed jobs, configuration correction, controlled upgrade or migration, and validation across physical, virtual, database, endpoint, SaaS, and cloud workloads.
- Diagnose failed jobs, missed workloads, backup-window overruns, and application-consistency issues
- Correct retention, repository capacity, immutability, encryption, access-control, and off-site copy configurations
- Upgrade or migrate backup components and validate representative file, database, virtual-machine, and SaaS restores
Backup Platform Support — AMC-Backed
Jiva Technologies maintains the backup platform under an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) — scheduled job and repository reviews, controlled patching, licence coordination, and vendor Technical Assistance Centre escalation across platforms such as Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, and Veritas where relevant.
- Scheduled review of backup jobs, repositories, alerts, capacity, retention, and restore results
- Controlled agent, appliance, firmware, operating-system, and backup-platform patching or upgrades
- Licence, subscription, support-entitlement, and vendor Technical Assistance Centre coordination
