A foundational guide for system administrators — understanding how to keep services running and data safe when things go wrong.
- Teacher: Admin User
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.
