Backup & Recovery Awareness Games

Practise backup and recovery decisions. Explore the difference between synchronising files and maintaining recoverable copies.

Questions about CyberPlay training

Why do backups matter?

Backups provide copies that can help restore information after deletion, device failure or an attack. Synchronisation alone can also copy an unwanted change, so recoverability needs to be checked.

Use your organisation’s approved backup process and test restoration. Keep recovery copies protected from the failures or attacks that could affect the originals.

Warning signs to recognise

  • There is only one copy of important information.
  • A backup has never been tested by restoring files.
  • Backup copies can be changed or deleted using the same compromised account.

Practise with these games

  • Backup or Lose It

    Three timed scenarios on one workstation: protect the work that exists nowhere else, survive the ransomware event, then recover from the copies that actually survived. The training points are the consequences, not a quiz overlay.

  • Breach Breaker

    A cinematic match-three security adventure across 150 missions and 10 worlds. Build chain reactions, contain threats and answer timed questions to earn your toolkit charges.

  • Data Dash

    A 3D endless runner through a sunlit city. Jump, slide and dodge to collect data, deliver it safely, and make quick security choices.

  • Ransomware Survival

    You are acting COO of AcmeWorks, a 75-person European firm, for thirty business days. Cash, a security budget that does not refill on its own, the day’s IT hours, morale and three client deadlines all compete with the boring work that actually stops ransomware — and the campaign that arrives in the last third of the month is assembled from every deferral you made.
