Recovering from a disaster starts with having a solid, battle-tested backup strategy that aligns to the business goals.

In this presentation, we start by asking application owners critical questions about potential data loss, recovery times, and other important questions that define the backup approach. But how do those answers get turned into a technical approach for a solid backup strategy? What features help us meet those objectives?

By the end of this presentation, you will be able to go through the full design process and walk away with an approach to design an effective backup strategy for your environment.
