In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, ensuring the resilience and performance of databases is very crucial for organizations aiming to maintain uninterrupted operations and unlock the full potential of their data. As a database administrator at Qore Technology, my session is birthed out of real-life experiences over the months with disaster recovery challenges and ensuring database resilience. For this session, I will be sharing real-life case experiences on disaster recovery, actionable strategies my team and I have solved problems with, and best practices that will empower you to safeguard your data, as well as establish a more robust backup and recovery plans while proactively monitoring database health, and performance optimization for seamless operations.

Some of the key points to be discussed broadly include:
1. A practical exploration of best practices for database backup, including backup types, storage options, and recovery objectives.
2a. Learning how to establish effective disaster recovery plans, conduct regular testing, and ensure data integrity during recovery processes.
2b. My real-life case experiences and lessons learned from successful backup and recovery operations.
3. Exploring strategies for optimizing database storage, improving performance, and ensuring compliance with data retention policies.
4. Gaining insights into the importance of proactive database monitoring and its impact on performance tuning as well as exploring powerful tools and techniques for monitoring key performance metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and detecting anomalies.
5. Discuss continual improvement and growth, and the importance of capacity planning, scalability considerations, and adopting emerging technologies to meet evolving business needs.
