One of the most common and costly mistakes in IT is assuming that having a backup means you are protected. This course challenges that assumption and gives you the knowledge to build a recovery strategy that actually works — before you need it.

What you will learn:

• How to define Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) aligned to your business SLAs
• When to use snapshots, full backups, incremental backups, and air-gapped recovery
• The difference between stateless and stateful data and why it matters for your backup method
• How Grandfather-Father-Son rotation works and when to apply it
• Why your backup is not your archive — and what to do about it
• How to select the right archiving system for your compliance and retrieval requirements

Who this course is for: Sysadmins, infrastructure engineers, cloud engineers, and anyone responsible for data protection and recovery in their organisation.

Duration: Approximately 45–60 minutes including assessments.
