CMGT 400 Week 4 Discussion: Backup and Recovery

Resource: Practice Lab: Backup and Recovery (SYO-501)

Backup and recovery processes serve two important purposes. The first purpose is to recover data after it is lost and the second is to recover data from a prior time. Good, well tested, backup and recovery processes are key to mitigating disasters and recovering from disasters as well as ensure business continuity of operation.

Discuss the recovery model for a backup and recovery strategy. What considerations should you take into account as you determine backup schedules? How will you test the execution of your backup and recovery processes to ensure that they will work appropriately?
