Most small & mid-size organizations must rely on a Backup and Recovery model

  • 1. Acquire New

Hardware

  • 2. Locate Last Good

Backup

  • 3. Access Backup

Media a) Hardware b) Firmware c) Software d) Updates e) License

  • 4. Reload OS
  • 5. Activate OS
  • 6. Update/Patch OS
  • 7. Restore System

State

  • 8. Restore Data
  • 9. Test

10.Restore User Access

Traditional Tape Recovery:

THE EVOLUTION OF DR THE EVOLUTION OF DR

The Backup/Restore Model has Evolved:

 Moved from tape backup to disk-to-disk backup  Moved from File/Folder backup to Image-based backup  Moved from Hardware Redundancy to Virtualization  Moved tape swapping to off-site replication
