Backup Strategies are for Losers...of Data! presented by Ed Watson

Join us for our regularly scheduled meeting on July 28th, as we have MS MVP Ed Watson coming to town from Alpharetta, GA, presenting his very popular "Backup Strategies are for Losers...of Data!".

Defining and documenting a backup strategy in today's data platform is simply not enough to prevent a major catastrophe. For that, a company needs to define a recovery strategy that encompasses their backup solution with an appropriate, tested recovery plan. This session outlines the various backup strategies and how to implement them in a recovery scenario to minimize data loss. This session will discuss various case studies of backup strategy implementations that neglected a strong recovery strategy and resulted in catastrophe for the company.
