SecuriveReplication & DR
Replication and disaster recovery
Continuous replication to a second region, failover in one action, failback when the primary is healthy, and drills on a schedule so the plan is tested before the day it matters.

The problem
What goes wrong today
Untested
A DR plan nobody has ever run
Most plans are a document. The first execution happens during the incident, which is the worst possible time to discover a missing step.
24 hours
Backup is not recovery
Restoring a day-old backup across a network is not a disaster recovery strategy for anything a business runs on.
Manual
Failback is the part everyone forgets
Teams plan how to fail over and improvise how to come home, which is why the return is usually messier than the outage.
How it works
What Securive does about it
Continuous replication
Changes ship to the second region as they happen, not on a nightly cycle. RPO is measured in minutes.
Orchestrated failover
Runbooks bring workloads up in dependency order — database before application before load balancer — with networking rewritten as part of the sequence.
Failback, planned as carefully as failover
Changes made while running in the DR region are replicated back, so returning is a controlled operation instead of a manual reconciliation.
Non-disruptive drills
Run the full failover into an isolated network on a schedule. Production never notices, and you get a report.
Per-workload RPO and RTO
Tiers are set per workload: the ERP gets minutes, the print server gets a day. You pay for the recovery you actually need.
Evidence for auditors
Every drill produces a dated record of what came up, in what order, and how long it took.
Specifics
The technical detail
- Replication
- Continuous, block level
- RPO
- Minutes — sub-minute on Enterprise
- Failover RTO
- Minutes, orchestrated
- Topology
- 1:1, 1:many, cross-region, cross-cloud
- Drills
- Scheduled, isolated, non-disruptive
- Failback
- Delta-only, back to the primary
Known limitations
Published deliberately. You would find these during a proof of concept anyway — better to find them now.
- RPO depends on the bandwidth between sites. A workload changing faster than the link can ship will fall behind, and the dashboard shows that honestly rather than reporting green.
- Orchestrated failover needs the dependency order defined once. We build the runbook with you; it is not automatic on day one.
- Cross-cloud failover requires compatible instance types in the target. Some specialised workloads have no equivalent, and we'll say so during design rather than at failover.
Recovery scenarios
What actually happens on the bad day
The estate is encrypted, and so are the replicas
Replicas alone are not protection — they faithfully replicate the encryption. That's why restore points sit on versioned storage the backup credentials cannot erase, so there is always a clean point behind the replica.
Fail over to a clean point, not to an encrypted mirror.
The primary region is down and there is no ETA
Failover runs the runbook, brings workloads up in the second region in the right order, and repoints networking.
Running in minutes, with minutes of data lost.
The datacentre needs a power-down
The same failover path used for disasters is used deliberately — the DR plan gets exercised as routine work rather than as an emergency.
Zero-downtime maintenance, plan proven again.
Comparison
Against how you do it today
- RPO
- Today: Last night's backup
- Securive: Minutes, continuously
- Failover
- Today: A document and a war room
- Securive: One action, ordered runbook
- Failback
- Today: Manual reconciliation
- Securive: Delta replication home
- Testing
- Today: Annual, if it happens
- Securive: Scheduled, isolated, reported
- Ransomware
- Today: Replica inherits the encryption
- Securive: Versioned history behind the replica, which the backup key cannot erase
Questions
The things people ask before they switch
Minutes on Pro and Scale, sub-minute on Enterprise where the workload and the link support it. The real constraint is bandwidth versus change rate, and the dashboard shows your actual RPO rather than the one you bought.
No. Drills run in an isolated network using the replicated data. Production keeps running and never sees the test.
Changes made while you were running in the DR region are replicated back to the primary, then you cut over during a window you choose. Only the delta moves.
No, and this is the most important thing on this page. Replication copies whatever happened, including ransomware. You need restore points behind the replica that the attack cannot reach, which is what versioned storage and a separated delete permission are for.
Yes, subject to compatible instance types in the target. We check that during design, not during a failover.
Find out whether your backups actually restore.
Connect one hypervisor, set one policy, and let a scheduled drill try to bring it back. If it doesn't, you'll know in a day rather than during an incident.
