Short answer
A platform may make code rollback easy while leaving recent database changes or uploaded files untouched. Recovery claims should identify the component, operator, restore point, elapsed time and data loss window.
When this decision matters
The service carries real customer work and an update or deletion can no longer be treated as a harmless experiment.
Questions the setup must answer
- Can code, records, files and configuration each be restored?
- Is restore self-service, support-assisted or developer-only?
- How old is the newest usable restore point?
- Can recovery be tested without overwriting production?
How AppReadyLab will test it
01
Separate recovery components
02
Run an isolated restore
03
Record time, help and data loss
Seven dimensions remain visible
A candidate can be inexpensive and still create a poor decision if recovery, ownership, access, or daily work is hidden. The final comparison keeps all seven dimensions available even when the user prioritises only two.
