How Vervali Load Tests Shopify Stores Before Black Friday
How Vervali load tests Shopify and Shopify Plus stores before Black Friday: the Shopify rules, what gets tested, when to start and what it costs.
Disaster Recovery and
Backup Implementation
Vervali designs backup, replication and failover for cloud and on-premises systems, then tests them against your RTO and RPO targets. The design is built so a rehearsal can actually run, and the timed rehearsal of that plan is on disaster recovery testing. Delivery is from India with a 9am to 1pm Eastern overlap.

Backup, Replication and Failover, Designed Then Tested
Designed for cloud and on-premises systems against the RTO and RPO you named.
Backup That Restores
A backup job that went green is not a restore. We design the job so a rehearsal can actually run and the data comes back.
Retention and Restore Path
How long copies are kept and the exact steps to bring them back, written down so someone else can follow them at three in the morning.
Replication
How far the copy sits and how stale it is allowed to be, set against the RPO you committed to. We do not invent a recovery-point number.
Failover
The cutover path, including the services that have to move with the app. A failover that leaves DNS or IAM behind is a finding.
Identity and Network With the App
Identity, DNS and network services designed to fail over with the application, since they are what usually stops a recovery before it starts.
Built to Be Rehearsed
Every design is shaped so the timed rehearsal on disaster recovery testing can run against it.
Need backup and failover designed against the RTO you committed to?
Book a DR TestDesign the Restore, Then Rehearse It
Backup, replication and failover are the implementation. These are the neighbouring packs.
The Rehearsal
Tabletop to full failover, timed against RTO and RPO, with an audit-ready record. See disaster recovery testing.
Cloud Identity and Encryption
The identity and encryption controls around the recovery estate. See cloud security and compliance.
Control Evidence
Control-by-control evidence a compliance review will ask for. See compliance testing.
Cloud Application Build
Building or moving the application on the cloud estate. See cloud application development.
Already know the RTO, the RPO and the estate? A QA lead can scope it.
Book a DR TestCloud, On-Premises and Hybrid
AWS and Azure are the platforms Vervali builds on. The quote names the estate you already run.
Cloud
Region copies, the services that do not fail over with you, and the identity dependency that stops recovery before it starts.
On-Premises
Hardware, tape and physical access. A restore that needs a person in the room is a finding, and we name it before the quote.
Hybrid
The dependencies that cross the boundary, where hybrid recoveries fail. The quote names both sides, and a cloud-only design is not a hybrid pass.
Proof From Delivery
Recovery work that sat inside larger engagements, sector and country. These were not standalone backup jobs.
Australia · cybersecurity SaaS · DDoS simulation
A cybersecurity SaaS product under high-intensity DDoS simulation. After: 99.9% platform stability on that run. How it fails, and what it costs to absorb that failure, is the recovery question.
99.9% platform stabilityBanking · audit preparation
Before: audit preparation took five days of assembling screenshots. After: a dated evidence pack, from 5 days to 5 hours. The same pack shape is what a recovery rehearsal has to leave behind.
5 days to 5 hoursIndia · Chennai diagnostics chain · back end
The back end of a diagnostics chain: the integrations and the load patient volume actually produces. A recovery plan that ignores that estate is a slide.
How an Engagement Starts
From a recovery plan on paper to a design that can be rehearsed.
-
01
Share the Estate
Tell us the systems, the RTO and RPO you committed to, and where they run: cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
-
02
Get the Design
Backup, replication and failover designed against those targets, with the restore path written down.
-
03
Start With a Plan Review
A free review of your current recovery plan is the first look. Most engagements land at $25 to $49 an hour blended, and price follows the estate and scope.
-
04
Rehearse It
The design is rehearsed on disaster recovery testing, with a dated record, 9am to 1pm Eastern with delivery from India.
Frequently Asked Questions
A rehearsal of the recovery plan you already have: failover, restore from backup, the runbook with the people who would be on the call, and every step timed against your RTO and RPO. This page is the design that makes it runnable. The rehearsal is on disaster recovery testing.
Disaster recovery is the systems: backup, failover, restore, runbook and the RTO and RPO you committed to. Business continuity also includes people, processes and third parties outside IT. We design the systems side, and the timed rehearsal is on disaster recovery testing.
RTO is the maximum downtime you committed to, and RPO is the maximum data loss. They drive the backup, replication and failover design. Validation, timed against those numbers, is done in the rehearsal. A restore that came back late with yesterday's data fails both.
Annually is the usual answer and it is not enough. Triggers for an extra test are a major architecture change, a cloud migration, a new critical dependency, an acquisition, a failed audit and a change in the objectives. The quote names the cadence after we see the estate.
Yes. We design backup, replication and failover on the cloud estate you name. AWS and Azure are the platforms Vervali builds on, and hybrid is added when both sides are in scope. Region failover is rehearsed on disaster recovery testing.
Yes. They stay in the room for design and for the rehearsal. The runbook is executed by the people who would actually be on the call, often not the people who wrote it. We do not run a drill they did not agree to, and an unannounced test is a named line in the quote.
Yes. The rehearsal leaves a dated record: the scenario, timestamps, what met the objective and what did not, the gaps and the owners. We test those recoveries and do not issue a certificate. Control evidence is on compliance testing. A free plan review shows what evidence you already have.
Most engagements land at $25 to $49 an hour blended. Price follows the estate, whether backup, replication and failover are in, and which rehearsal level you choose. Full failover costs more in disruption than in hours. A free review of your current recovery plan shows the surface before anyone writes a quote.
