Recovery Automation

Recovery Automation is the automation of recurring steps within a recovery process. This can include the selection of defined recovery points, the creation of isolated target environments, restoration in a defined order, validation checks or the documentation of the result.

Automation reduces manual work and can help to execute recovery procedures faster and more consistently. It is particularly relevant in complex environments with many dependent systems. Nevertheless, approvals, exceptions and security-critical decisions should be designed deliberately so that a faulty or compromised process does not automatically affect numerous systems.

Recovery automation connects Agentic AI and Automation with business continuity management. Its benefit becomes apparent above all when automated procedures are tested regularly, monitored and assessed against clear recovery objectives.
