Data backup keeps copies of a company’s systems and data somewhere safe. Disaster recovery is the plan, and the practice, for getting the business running again when something goes wrong, from a failed server to a ransomware attack.
For a PE-backed company, it also protects value: a long outage or lost data hits revenue, the 100-day plan and, eventually, what a buyer will pay.
How quickly could the business be running again after an outage?
Could we restore our systems and data without paying a ransom?
When were the backups last restored and checked?
Is every acquisition’s data covered by the same standard?
Will our controls stand up to a cyber-insurance review?
Will resilience hold up in a buyer’s diligence?
Five areas, run the same way at the platform company and every add-on.
Multiple layers of backup across systems and data, so one failure never means losing everything.
Servers, systems and business data backed up
Copies kept in more than one place
Microsoft 365 data included
Clear recovery plans for the systems the business depends on, so everyone knows what happens, and in what order, when something fails.
Critical systems and data identified

Plans updated as the business changes
Regular restore testing proves the backups actually work, with the results reported to the sponsor.
Scheduled restore tests
Problems fixed before they’re needed

One portfolio view for the operating partner
Most providers set up backups and stop there. Compello runs resilience as part of the investment, with one senior team, one standard and reporting the sponsor can use.
We work as operators, so recovery decisions tie back to EBITDA and exit value, not just backup schedules.
The senior team that diligences the deal and delivers the 100-day plan stays on to run backup and recovery through the hold.
Backup and recovery sit alongside our CISO-led security practice, so a cyberattack is planned for, not just a hardware failure.
Something we haven’t covered? A partner can answer it on a short call.
Multi-layered backup and continuity, disaster recovery planning, regular restore testing, and sponsor-ready reporting on how resilient every company is.
Restores are tested regularly, and the results are reported to the sponsor, so recovery is proven rather than assumed.
Yes. Layered, tested backups mean a company can restore its systems and data after an attack, and backup sits alongside our CISO-led security practice, including MDR and SOC monitoring.
No. Data backup and disaster recovery is one of seven managed IT services. Most companies start with a small, defined first step and add only the services that pay off.
Networks, servers and endpoints monitored and maintained, so problems are fixed before users notice.
Cloud and on-premises environments run to one standard that scales with the portfolio.
A 24/7/365 help desk with L1 to L3 support and SLA-backed response for every portfolio company.
Phones, meetings and messaging on one platform across every location and add-on.
Licensing, security settings and administration, plus the devices people use every day.
CISO-led security with MDR, a SOC and vCISO, reported in a way the board can trust.
