Guides

Technical guides

Written from the work itself — for people who have to make a decision, not for people who need marketing.

Each guide is built as a sequence of steps and cites primary sources — vendor documentation, NIST and NCSC — so every key fact can be checked independently.

  • Exchange → Microsoft 365

    An 8-part guide 8 primary sources

    Migrating from on-premise Exchange to Microsoft 365

    The migration methods, what breaks at the joins, and what to check before moving a single mailbox — with references to Microsoft documentation.

    What is in the guide

    1. What is forcing the decision now
    2. Inventory before you choose a method
    3. Choosing the migration method
    4. Licensing: match the plan to the workload
    5. The other half: file servers
    6. What actually breaks: DNS, relay, and limits
    7. Harden the tenant before the first mailbox moves
    8. Cutover, rollback, and the last on-premise server

  • Backup and DR

    An 8-part guide 8 primary sources

    Backup and DR that restores: RPO, RTO and restore testing

    How to define RPO and RTO, why the 3-2-1 rule still holds, and what a real restore test looks like — sourced from NIST and vendor documentation.

    What is in the guide

    1. The two numbers come before the product
    2. Tier your workloads — one RPO cannot fit everything
    3. Choosing backup targets: 3-2-1 and what has been added since
    4. Protect the backup itself: immutability and identity separation
    5. Where backup systems fail silently
    6. What a real restore test looks like
    7. Virtualized workloads have their own rules
    8. DR is a runbook and people, not a product

    What is in the guide

    1. Understand what actually changed at renewal
    2. Inventory and assess the current environment
    3. Decide the target architecture
    4. Plan licensing and cost
