Fenwick Manufacturing's recovery timeline with the ransomware incident at the centre: four readiness stages before it — scope with RPO and RTO targets, a 3-2-1 strategy, immutable object-locked copies and restore tests — shrink the data-loss window, and four recovery stages after it — declare a clean point, execute on the runbook, validate integrity and improve — shrink the time to restore. Below, the data-loss gaps the incident exposed, such as the ERP with a one-hour RPO backed up only every 24 hours, and the restore results: a production-line control drill of 4,320 minutes against a 240-minute target, then the ERP restored in 6 hours 10 minutes against an 8-hour target.
