For a database administrator, availability of data is of utmost importance. Azure SQL Database has multiple layers of protection to consider for your business continuity plan. Start here to understand how they will work together to ensure the data your business has is available when your business needs it. In this workshop, I'll deep dive into the three pillars of your strategy - backups and restores, high availability, and disaster recovery. You'll learn what options are available for backup retention, both short- and long-term, along with how to perform restores in a timely manner. The high availability architecture of each SQL DB tier will be explained. The cross-region disaster recovery options will be compared. This demo-centered workshop will prepare you to set up and manage your business's most important asset!
