Master Backup & Disaster Recovery
Build expertise in data protection, system recovery, and business continuity planning through hands-on training with real-world scenarios.
Your Learning Journey
Progress through four comprehensive phases designed to build your expertise systematically. Each module includes practical exercises, real scenarios, and skill assessments to ensure you're ready for the challenges ahead.
Foundation & Risk Assessment
Start with understanding data vulnerability patterns and business impact analysis. You'll learn to identify critical systems, calculate recovery time objectives, and map data dependencies across different business environments.
- Risk Analysis
- Business Impact Assessment
- Recovery Objectives
- System Dependencies
Backup Technologies & Implementation
Dive deep into backup technologies, from traditional tape systems to modern cloud solutions. Practice configuring automated backup schedules, testing restore procedures, and troubleshooting common failures in controlled lab environments.
- Backup Configuration
- Storage Management
- Cloud Integration
- Automation Scripts
- Performance Tuning
Disaster Recovery Planning
Build comprehensive recovery strategies for different disaster scenarios. Learn to design failover systems, coordinate recovery teams, and create detailed runbooks that work under pressure. Practice with simulated outages and communication protocols.
- Recovery Planning
- Failover Systems
- Team Coordination
- Documentation
- Testing Procedures
Advanced Scenarios & Leadership
Handle complex multi-site recovery scenarios and lead incident response exercises. Develop skills in stakeholder communication, budget planning for recovery infrastructure, and staying current with emerging threats and technologies.
- Incident Leadership
- Multi-site Recovery
- Stakeholder Communication
- Budget Planning

Learn from Practitioners
Our instructors bring years of real-world experience managing backup systems and leading recovery efforts. They've handled everything from simple server failures to major datacenter outages, and they know what works when systems are down and stakeholders are waiting.
- Small cohorts with direct instructor access
- Case studies from actual recovery incidents
- Hands-on labs with enterprise-grade tools
- Career guidance and industry connections
- Ongoing support after program completion
Practical Assessment Approach
We evaluate your progress through realistic scenarios that mirror what you'll encounter in the field. No multiple-choice tests here – you'll demonstrate competency by solving actual problems under realistic conditions.
Simulated Outages
Handle mock disaster scenarios with time pressure and stakeholder communication requirements.
System Design Reviews
Present and defend backup architectures to experienced practitioners who ask tough questions.
Recovery Execution
Demonstrate hands-on recovery procedures using real backup data and production-similar environments.
