Disaster Recovery Testing in Sheffield
Testing disaster recovery for Sheffield organisations, where the test has to include the people. A plan executed by the person who wrote it, with the documentation open beside them, proves very little — the real question is whether whoever happens to be on call at three in the morning could follow it.
Why this comes up
The problem
The recovery plan has been reviewed annually for four years and never actually executed by anybody.
What you get
What we deliver
- A test run by someone other than the plan's author, following it as written
- Recovery time measured rather than estimated, and compared with the commitment
- Dependencies discovered, since plans omit the things everybody assumes
- Access verified, as credentials and permissions expire quietly between tests
- The plan corrected afterwards, because the test always finds something
- A repeat scheduled, given that estates change and the plan ages with them

Working in Sheffield
Yorkshire & the Humber
Sheffield's advanced manufacturing base has moved a long way from steel, and the work here often involves putting sensible interfaces on top of processes that have been running on spreadsheets for a decade.
Manufacturers here typically want to replace long-standing spreadsheet processes with something reliable, without disrupting production while it happens.

Disaster Recovery Testing in Sheffield — common questions
- Why should the author not run the test?
- Because they know what the document leaves out. A plan is only useful if somebody unfamiliar can follow it under pressure, and the gaps become visible precisely when the person executing cannot fill them from memory.
- What do tests usually reveal?
- Missing dependencies and expired access. A recovery that assumed a DNS credential, a licence key or a third-party account almost always finds one of them unavailable — none of which appear in the plan because they were obvious to whoever wrote it.
- How thorough does a test need to be?
- Thorough enough to be uncomfortable. Restoring a database into a spare environment proves something; recovering the whole service and confirming it actually works proves considerably more, and the difference is where organisations discover their real recovery time.
- How often should this happen?
- At least annually, and after significant change. An estate that has gained services, changed providers or lost the people who built it has a plan describing something that no longer exists — and the gap widens quietly until somebody checks.
- Do you work with businesses across South Yorkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Sheffield businesses do you usually work with?
- Manufacturers here typically want to replace long-standing spreadsheet processes with something reliable, without disrupting production while it happens. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Metals & Materials, Healthcare, Higher Education and Digital.
- Do you cover the areas around Sheffield?
- Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester. Sheffield is an urban area of roughly 730,000+, and we take on work across the wider South Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
