Multicloud AI & ERP / Cloud & AI Security, Governance & Compliance
Why it matters
Ransomware, regional outages and human error all happen. Recovery plans written before AI often miss the new components, so an AI service comes back with its data but without its knowledge base, prompts or agent setup.
How it works
A recovery plan that includes AI
Back up data, vector indexes, prompts and configurations. Replicate copies to a second region. Detect failures with health checks, fail over traffic to the standby and test regularly against recovery time and recovery point objectives.
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud compared
| AWS | Azure | Google Cloud | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central backup | AWS Backup | Azure Backup | Backup and DR Service |
| Server failover | Elastic Disaster Recovery | Azure Site Recovery | Backup and DR, managed instance groups |
| Immutable backups | Backup Vault Lock | Immutable vaults | Backup vaults |
| Traffic failover | Route 53 health checks | Front Door | Global load balancing |
| Resilience assessment | Resilience Hub | Business Continuity Center | Architecture Framework reliability |
What makes each cloud different
AWS
AWS Backup applies policies across services with Vault Lock for immutability, Elastic Disaster Recovery fails over servers quickly and Resilience Hub checks applications against recovery targets.
Azure
Azure Backup and Site Recovery cover VMs and data with test failovers that do not disturb production, immutable vaults protect backups and the Business Continuity Center gives one view of protection.
Google Cloud
Google's Backup and DR Service provides immutable backup vaults, multi-region storage protects data automatically and multi-region Spanner survives a region loss without data loss.
Design decisions that matter
- 01Recovery targets per application
RTO and RPO agreed with the business.
- 02AI components in the plan
Indexes, prompts, configs and agent setup.
- 03Immutable, separate backups
Different account and region.
- 04Test restores regularly
Untested backups do not count.
Common mistakes we see
- Backing up only databases. AI services return broken.
- Backups in the same account. Ransomware deletes them too.
- Never testing failover. The runbook fails on the day.
A practical 30-day plan
- Week 1
Set RTO and RPO for top applications.
- Week 2
Back up AI components alongside data.
- Week 3
Replicate to a second region with immutable vaults.
- Week 4
Run a failover test and fix the gaps.
How NTS helps
NTS designs and tests disaster recovery on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, including AI components, ransomware-resilient backups and regular failover drills against agreed recovery targets.
What you get
- Recovery objectives defined for each workload
- Immutable, cross-region backups
- Disaster recovery runbooks and automation
- Regular recovery tests
Typical outcomes
- Proven recovery within agreed times
- Protection from ransomware and regional outages
- Board-level confidence in resilience
How we work with you
- 1Assess
A focused review of your backup, disaster recovery and multi-region AI across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. We look for the gaps we find most often: backing up only databases, backups in the same account and never testing failover.
- 2Design
A target architecture and roadmap built on the decisions that matter most: recovery targets per application, AI components in the plan, immutable, separate backups and test restores regularly.
- 3Build
Hands-on delivery alongside your team. We set RTO and RPO for top applications, back up AI components alongside data, replicate to a second region with immutable vaults, and finally run a failover test and fix the gaps.
- 4Run and improve
We run scheduled recovery tests and update plans as systems change.
Why teams choose NTS for backup, disaster recovery and multi-region AI
- Recovery that is proven
We test restores and failovers, not just backups.
- Ransomware-ready
Immutable backups protect against attacks.
- Right-sized resilience
We match cost to how critical each workload is.
