Types of Protection/Recovery

14

Manual Backup/Recovery

Con

➢ Does not protect against human error or

malicious activity

➢ Data may be unrecoverable/re-creatable➢ Compliance verification

➢ Customer confidence

➢ High RTO➢ Little/No RPO

➢ No Long term retention

➢ Time consuming for personnel

Pro

➢ Less infrastructure resources

➢ Less planning

➢ Less upfront cost

15

Snapshot/Replication

Con

➢ Does not protect against human error or

malicious activity

➢ High hardware and Network costs

➢ High maintenance costs

➢ Higher complexity

➢ Snapshot retention requirements

➢ Susceptible to data corruption

➢ No Long term retention capabilities

➢ Planning and design consideration

Pro

➢ Multiple copies

➢ Minimal or no data loss

➢ Short RTO and RPO

➢ Failover/Failback (automatic or manual)

➢ Fast restore from snapshot

16

Backup Software

Con

➢ Initial investment cost

➢ Planning and design consideration

➢ Media Failure

➢ Cost to manage

Pro

➢ Long Term retention

➢ Resources based on usage

➢ Compliance verification

➢ Confidence in recoverability

➢ RTO/RPO based on needs

➢ Can leverage snapshots

➢ Protects against human error or

malicious activity
