Your Data Protection Platform Is Now Core Infrastructure
Backup and recovery used to be a background system — something that ran overnight and rarely came up in conversation. That's no longer true. Today's data protection platform typically holds a copy of everything your organisation has, and it needs to be tightly integrated with your security posture — including who has access to it — not sitting off to the side of it.
That shift matters even more with AI. As enterprises roll out AI tools and workflows, many of the data requirements those tools create can be met using read-only copies of your data — pulled from backup or secondary storage rather than hitting production systems directly. Done properly, this gives AI workloads the data access they need without adding load to already-stretched production infrastructure. It also raises the stakes on data integrity and on who can touch it. Immutable copies — backups that can't be altered or deleted, whether by accident or by a cyber attack — are what make this model safe, and they only hold if access to them is tightly controlled.
If a backup copy is accidentally removed, or production is hit by an attack, protected immutable copies with the right access controls behind them are what stand between you and real data loss. Get this right, and your production data stays where it belongs: in production.
Deep Expertise Across Every Major Backup Platform
With 30+ years in enterprise data protection, I work across all major backup and recovery platforms — not just one vendor's toolset. Whether your environment runs Commvault, Veeam, Rubrik, Veritas NetBackup, Dell PowerProtect, Cohesity, or something else entirely, the same rigour applies.
Part of that work means engaging directly with vendors to validate that what's been configured can actually be recovered — not assumed to be recoverable because a job shows green. A platform is only as good as its proven ability to restore, under pressure, when it counts.
Commvault has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms for 15 consecutive years, and the platform has moved well beyond traditional backup — Commvault Cloud now unifies data security, identity resilience, and cyber recovery in a single AI-enabled platform, with expanding native support across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. That's more capability, but also more configuration decisions — and more ways an environment can quietly drift from best practice. A health check with someone who lives in this platform is how you find out where you actually stand, before an incident forces the question.

30+ Years of Enterprise Data Protection Expertise
Brandon Potts Consulting was built on three decades of hands-on experience in enterprise data protection. We work directly with IT and infrastructure teams — not through account managers or junior consultants — to assess, remediate, and validate backup environments across all major platforms. Our job is to give you a clear, honest picture of where your backup environment stands, and what it will take to make it genuinely recoverable.
We Tell You What Your Environment Actually Looks Like
Most organisations assume their backups are working. We verify it. Our engagements start with a thorough assessment of your backup environment — configuration, job success rates, retention policies, and recovery readiness. We engage directly with your vendor to validate that what's configured can actually be recovered. We produce a written findings report, identify the gaps, and work with your team to close them. No vendor agenda. No generic recommendations. Just a clear view of where you stand and a practical path forward.
