We’ve been deploying backup solutions since the beginning of computing, and the foundations of backup and recovery have stayed the same: make sure backups run consistently and set recovery objectives. Yet systems don’t work or act the same way they did decades ago.

Cloud data backups have helped us meet the need for offsite backups, as well as impacted how we budget for them. Ransomware has impacted how we store them. The laws of physics might be more of an issue than when we had tapes stored in a safe down the hall. Cost models have changed, too.

In this session, Karen Lopez covers best practices for modern data recovery…and she will share stories of worst practices just to keep it real.
