Without a well thought out plan in place, all the best equipment and well trained personnel in the world will be useless in the event of a disaster. Disasters can be manmade or natural, and both types can cause short delays or major business disruptions. This course covers backup strategies and archiving data, so that there are copies available in the case of a major breakdown of your information infrastructure. It also explains procedures for restoring data and discusses various types of backup, such as full, incremental, and differential along with the common media used for backup, such as hard disks and optical media.
